part 1:
the price of an orange should be determined by the its weight. the price of an orange can be determined using the function: = where p is the price in dollars and w is the weight in pounds.
period function composition
the chart below can be used to determine the price of an orange if you know its weight.
a.) if an orange weighs 0.4 pounds, what should be its price?
b.) determine the value of (0.7). explain what this expression represents. be specific. use whole sentences. (if the weight of an orange is 0.7, then

part 2:
the machine that weighs each orange is broken and won’t be fixed for a month. luckily, a local botanist has given you a way to determine the weight of an orange by measuring its radius.
the weight of an orange can be determined by the function = () where r is the radius in inches and w is the weight in pounds.
the chart below can be used to determine the weight of an orange if you know its radius.
c.) if an orange has a radius of 1.7 inches, what is its weight?
d.) determine the value of (1.9). explain what this expression represents. be specific. use whole sentences.
