1. Go to: Algebra, 6-8th , grapher.2. Adjust the window screen to match your hand

graphed x-and y-axis.3. Functions tab f(x), g(x), h(x): enter the

equation for each company:Tanks-A-Lot, Teesers, and Screeners.

3. Evaluate the “graph” each equation and compare to your hand graph.

4. Use the “trace” mode to identify the point of intersection. Compare the “traced” point to your hand graph.

1. Adjust the window screen to match your hand graphed x-and y-axis.

2. Using the y = mode, enter the equation for each company:Tanks-A-Lot, Teesers, and Screeners.

3. Now “graph” each equation and compare to your hand graph.

4. Use the “trace” mode to identify the point of intersection. Compare the “traced” point to your hand graph.

a) If she buys 5 shirts, cost for each vendor is:

b) If she buys 15 shirts, cost for each vendor is:

c) If she buys 45 shirts, cost for each vendor is:

For each option above, identify which vendor is the most economical choice.

a) If she buys 5 shirts, cost for each vendor is:

Tanks-A-Lots = $135, Teeser = $103, Screeners = $85; Screeners will be more economical.

b) If she buys 15 shirts, cost for each vendor is:

Tanks-A-Lots = $165, Teeser = $153, Screeners = $155; Teesers will be more economical.

c) If she buys 45 shirts, cost for each vendor is:

Tanks-A-Lots = $255, Teeser = $303, Screeners = $365; Tanks-A-Lot will be more economical.
