Chapter 1.3 Problem 1.249

Question

Pepperoni Pizzas For a statistics project, a student counted the number of pepperoni slices on pizzas of various sizes at a local pizzeria, compiling the following table:

 

(a) Explain why the pepperoni count (P) ought to be proportional to the square of the radius (r).

(b) Assuming that \(P=k \cdot r^{2}\), use the data pair (4, 12) to find the value of k.

(c) Does the algebraic model fit the rest of the data well?

(d) Some pizza places have charts showing their kitchen staff how much of each topping should be put on each size of pizza. Do you think this pizzeria uses such a chart? Explain.

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 1.3 problem number 248 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Pepperoni Pizzas For a statistics project, a student counted the number of pepperoni slices on pizzas of various sizes at a local pizzeria, compiling the following table: (a) Explain why the pepperoni count (P) ought to be proportional to the square of the radius (r). (b) Assuming that \(P=k \cdot r^{2}\), use the data pair (4, 12) to find the value of k. (c) Does the algebraic model fit the rest of the data well? (d) Some pizza places have charts showing their kitchen staff how much of each topping should be put on each size of pizza. Do you think this pizzeria uses such a chart? Explain.
From the textbook chapter Functions and Graphs you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
