Given the function :
![f(x)=\sqrt[]{x+2}+1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%28x%29%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bx%2B2%7D%2B1)
We need to find each missing value
Given x = -3 , -2 , -1 , 2 , 7
So, substitute with each value of x to find the corresponding value of f(x)
![x=-3\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{-3+2}+1=\sqrt[]{-1}+1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D-3%5Crightarrow%20f%28x%29%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B-3%2B2%7D%2B1%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B-1%7D%2B1)
So, there is no value for f(x) at x = -3 (the function undefined because the square root of -1)
![\begin{gathered} x=-2\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{-2+2}+1=\sqrt[]{0}+1=0+1=1 \\ \\ x=-1\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{-1+2}+1=\sqrt[]{1}+1=1+1=2 \\ \\ x=2\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{2+2}+1=\sqrt[]{4}+1=2+1=3 \\ \\ x=7\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{7+2}+1=\sqrt[]{9}+1=3+1=4 \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20x%3D-2%5Crightarrow%20f%28x%29%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B-2%2B2%7D%2B1%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B0%7D%2B1%3D0%2B1%3D1%20%5C%5C%20%20%5C%5C%20x%3D-1%5Crightarrow%20f%28x%29%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B-1%2B2%7D%2B1%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B1%7D%2B1%3D1%2B1%3D2%20%5C%5C%20%20%5C%5C%20x%3D2%5Crightarrow%20f%28x%29%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B2%2B2%7D%2B1%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B4%7D%2B1%3D2%2B1%3D3%20%5C%5C%20%20%5C%5C%20x%3D7%5Crightarrow%20f%28x%29%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B7%2B2%7D%2B1%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B9%7D%2B1%3D3%2B1%3D4%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
the graph of the function and the points will be as shown in the following image :
A is independent while b is dependent.
This is because b is equal to a decreased by 2. Anytime a changes, then b does as well. B can only change in accordance with a.
• So we know that.....
x represent bags of snack and y is bottles of water.
This equations shows the total amount and the cost of each water bottle and snack:
20.00 = 2.50x + 1.00y
Total: $20.00
Snack: $2.50
Water Bottle: $1.00
And this question shows the total items:
11 = x + y
Which there will be some snack + some water bottle = 11 items
—————————————————————
• Now I’m going to first solve for x, which is the amount of bags of snack.
I will use the equation, 11 = x + y.
(First, we’ll subtract y from both side, since we’re solving for x [UNDO])
11 = x + y
-y = - y
_______
11 - y = x —> so x is equal to 11 minus y.
—————————————————————
• Now we’re going to plug the 11 - y as x in the equation: 20.00 = 2.50x + 1.00y to solve for y.
20.00 = 2.50 (11 - y) + 1.00y
20.00 = 27.5 - 2.50y + 1.00y (Distributed)
20.00 = 27.5 - 1.50y (Combine like terms)
20.00 = 27.5 - 1.50y
-27.5 = -27.5 (Subtract -27.5 both side)
——————————
-7.5 = - 1.50y
-7.5 = -1.50y
—— ——— (Divide both side by -1.50)
- 1.50 = -1.50
5 = y
y is equals to 5, which means that there are 5 water bottles.
Now we know there are 11 items total and because there are 5 water bottles, there will be 6 bags of snacks. 11-5=6
—————————————————————
ANSWER:
They bought 6 bags of snacks! :)
