A game center has a $5 admission fee and charges $0.50 for each game played. Graph the equation on the coordinate plane. Be sure
to label the axes appropriately and provide a scale for the axes.
1 answer:
A game center has a $5 admission fee (this is the y-intercept of the equation)
It charges $0.50 for each game played (this is the slope of the equation)
The equation can be written as
Where y is the cost and x is the number of games played.
To plot the graph, you can either find some (x, y) coordinates using the above equation.
Or you can plot it using the concept of slope and y-intercept.
Start at the point of y-intercept (0, 5)
The slope is 0.50 = 1/2
Then go 1 unit up and two units to the right that is your next point.
Repeat the same, 1 unit up and two units to the right that is your next point and so on...
Let us plot the graph
Scale: one small box = 1 unit
x-axis = number of games
y-axis = Cost ($)

<h3>Answer: Choice (a) in the upper left corner</h3>
Angle A = 68 degrees
Angle B = 22 degrees
Side AB = 2.9 cm
The three values are approximate
=========================================================
Explanation:
a = BC = 2.7 and b = AC = 1.1 are the two legs of the right triangle.
Use the pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
2.7^2 + 1.1^2 = c^2
8.5 = c^2
c^2 = 8.5
c = sqrt(8.5)
c = 2.91547594742266
c = 2.9
The hypotenuse is c = AB = 2.9
--------------------
We then use trig ratios to find the two missing angles.
Let's say we ignore the hypotenuse and focus on the two legs of the triangle.
With respect to reference angle A, side BC is opposite and AC is adjacent
Use the tangent ratio to get
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(A) = BC/AC
tan(A) = 2.7/1.1
tan(A) = 2.45454545454546
A = arctan(2.45454545454546)
A = 67.8336541779176
A = 68
Note: arctan is the same as inverse tangent or . Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.
-------------------
Similarly,
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(B) = AC/BC
tan(B) = 1.1/2.7
tan(B) = 0.4074074074074
B = arctan(0.4074074074074)
B = 22.166345822082
B = 22
Or you could use the value of A to get B = 90-A = 90-68 = 22. This works because A+B = 90 as we're working with a right triangle. In other words, A and B are complementary angles.
-------------------
In summary we found
A = 68
B = 22
AB = 2.9
Given:
First, let's move the -1 to the right side. When we add , we get
.
Now we can cross multiply, multiply (3n)(8) and (7)(9)
Simplify the left side.
Simplify the right side.
Divide both sides by 24 to isolate n.
