The phone company NextFell has a monthly cellular plan where a customer pays a flat monthly fee and then a certain amount of mon

ey per minute used on the phone. If a customer uses 470 minutes, the monthly cost will be $200.5. If the customer uses 590 minutes, the monthly cost will be $242.5.
A) Find an equation in the form
y=mx+b
,
where
x
is the number of monthly minutes used and
y
is the total monthly of the NextFell plan.

The equation in the form y = mx + b is y = 0.35x + 36.

<h3>How to represent a linear equation?</h3>

The equation formed from the expression is a linear equation and should be expressed in the slope intercept form.

y = mx + b

where

m = slope
b = y-intercept

Therefore,

y = mx + b

where

x = the number of monthly minutes used
y = the total monthly of the Next fell plan

using the coordinates, let's find m

(470, 200.5)(590, 242.5)

Hence,

m = 242.5 - 200.5 / 590 - 470

m = 42 / 120

m = 0.35

Therefore,

y = 0.35x + b

200.5 = 0.35(470) + b

200.5 - 164.5 = b

b = 36

Finally, the equation in the form y = mx + b is y = 0.35x + 36.

Which sequence is modeled by the graph below?

mariarad [96]

Answer:

$a_n=27\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From inspection of the graph, the given points are:

(2, 9)
(3, 3)
(4, 1)

If we draw a line through the given points, the line is a curve rather than a straight line. If the line was a straight line, the graph would be modeled as an arithmetic sequence. Therefore, as the line is a curve, the given points are modeling a geometric sequence.

<u>General form</u> of a geometric sequence:

$a_n=ar^{n-1}$

where:

a is the first term
r is the common ratio
$a_n$ is the nth term

Rewrite the given points as terms of the sequence:

(2, 9) ⇒ a₂ = 9
(3, 3) ⇒ a₃ = 3
(4, 1) ⇒ a₄ = 1

To find the common ratio r, divide consecutive terms:

$\implies r=\dfrac{a_3}{a_2}=\dfrac{3}{9}=\dfrac{1}{3}$

Calculate the first term (a) by substituting the found value of r and the given values of one of the terms into the formula:

$\implies a_2=9$

$\implies a\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^{2-1}=9$

$\implies \dfrac{1}{3}a=9$

$\implies a=27$

Substitute the found values of r and a into the general formula to create the sequence modeled by the graph:

$a_n=27\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^{n-1}$

Which function is equivalent to F(x)=-4(x+7)^2-6?

Gemiola [76]

$\huge\mathfrak\orange{answer}$

Simplify this quadratic function given in vertex form into standard form by simplifying the exponents and adding like terms.

$f(x) = \red{-4(x+7)^2 - 6}$

$f(x) = -4(x^2 + 14x + 49) - 6$

$f(x) = -4x² - 64x - 196 - 6$

$\underline{f(x) = -4x² - 64x - 202}$

(good luck :) and mark me brainliest if you're satisfied with my answer)
