A booth at the farmer’s market has fresh goat cheese in three sizes of containers. The big container is 30 ounces and costs $9.00. The medium container is 15 ounces and costs $4.95. The small container is 8 ounces and costs $2.00. What size is the best buy? Justify your reasoning.

Period is the time it takes for one “cycle” to complete. in the parent sine function, period is 2*pi since sin(0) = 0, sin(pi/2) = 1, sin(pi) = 0, sin(3pi/2) = -1, and sin(2pi) = 0. at that point, the sequence repeats itself. i’m not sure if your graph is similar to the sine function since you didn’t provide a picture, but you can find the period by looking at a graph.
