Company A represents a proportional relationship, while company B does not.

<h3>Proportional relationship</h3>

The general format of a equation representing a proportional relationship is given as follows:

y = rx.

A proportional relationship is a special case of a linear function, having an intercept of zero.

Then, the output variable y is calculated as the multiplication of the input variable x by the constant of proportionality k.

The costs for each company after x months, in this problem, are represented as follows:

A(x) = 39.99x.

B(x) = 34.99x + 50.

Company B has an intercept different of zero, hence it is not a proportional relationship, while Company A, with an intercept of zero, represents a proportional relationship.

<h3>Missing Information</h3>

The complete problem is:

Two companies offer digital cable television as described below.

Company A: $39.99 per month no installation fee

Company B: $34.99 per month with a $50 installation fee

For each company tell whether the relationship is proportional between months of service and total cost is a proportional relationship. Explain why or why not

In 2010 an item costs $9.00. The price increases by 1.5% each year. How much will it be in 2030?

Yanka [14]

Answer:11.7

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Recognize variables. Starting price is 9, it’s increasing by 1.5% each year, the question asks for the price in 20 years.

2. Convert percentage to decimal. Most calculators won’t understand multiplying by percentages, and instead will understand multiplying by decimals. A decimal is something we can easily work with. It is more commonly taught to work with decimals as well. With that said 1.5% equals .015. (The number in the ones place in the percentage is always in the hundredths place when converted to a decimal, the tens to the tenths, the hundreds in the percentage to the ones place in the decimal, the hundredths in the percentage to the ten thousandths in the decimal. Basically, every individual number [the 5 in 1.5] moves two spaces to the right when going from percentage to decimal form, likewise two to the left going from decimal to percentage form. 23%=.23, 104%=1.04, 0.5%=.05, 1.234%=.01234)

3. Make your equation

20(9*(.015))+9

+9 is your starting point

9*(.015) gives you the amount the price increases per year

20 is multiplied then to that increased price for the next 20 years

−2x=x2−6 Rewrite the equation by completing the square.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

(x + 1)² = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

-2x = x² - 6

We'll start by rearranging it to solve for zero:

x² + 2x - 6 = 0

The first term is already a perfect square so that's fine. Normally, if that term had a non-square coefficient, you would need to multiply all terms a value that would change that constant to a perfect square.

Because it's already square (1), we can simply move to the next step, separating the -6 into a value that can be doubled to give us the 2, the coefficient of the second term. That value will of course be 1, giving us:

x² + 2x + 1 - 1 - 6 = 0

Now can group our perfect square on the left and our constants on the right:

x² + 2x + 1 - 7= 0

x² + 2x + 1 = 7

(x + 1)² = 7

To check our answer, we can solve for x:

x + 1 = ± √7

x = -1 ± √7

x ≈ 1.65, -3.65

Let's try one of those in the original equation:

-2x = x² - 6

-2(1.65) = 1.65² - 6

- 3.3 = 2.72 - 6

-3.3 = -3.28

Good. Given our rounding that difference of 2/100 is acceptable, so the answer is correct.
