Answer:

b(x) = (3+0.5x) (38-4x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the generated revenue per day be b(x)

Let x be the number for every 50cents($0.5) price increase

Formula to be used to generate the revenue generated is expressed using the formula:

b(x) = Price × Quantity

Next is to derive the price and quantity function in terms of x.

For the price:

If he currently charges $3 per book

Let derive the price function for the model and x number of price increase for every 50 cents, then

Price = ($0.5 of x)+$3

Price = $3+$0.5x

Price = $(3+0.5x)

For the quantity:

Number of books rent out per day = 38

If for every 50cents increase in rental price x, the average business can expect to lose 4 rentals a day, then the total lost per quantity = 4x

Quantity per time = Number of books rent out daily - loss on each book

Quantity = $(38-4x)

Next is to substitute the price and quantity function into the revenue formula above:

Revenue = Price × Quantity

Revenue = (3+0.5x)(38-4x)

Hence the equation that models this scenario, where b(x) is the revenue generated and x is the number of 50 price increases is b(x) = (3+0.5x)(38-4x)

Which recursive formula can be used to generate the sequence shown, where f(1) = 5 and n > 1?

Degger [83]

The recursive formula $a_n = a_{n-1}-6$ can be used to generate the shown sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

Recursive formula is the formula that is used to generate the next term of a sequence using previous term.

The general form of arithmetic sequence's recursive formula is:

$a_n = a_{n-1}+d$

Given

5,-1,-7,-13,-19

Here

$a_1 = 5\\a_2 = -1\\a_3 = -7$

First of all we have to find the common difference of the sequence.

So,

$d = a_2 -a_1 = -1-5 = -6\\d = a_3-a_2 = -7+1 = -6$

Putting the value of d in the general recursive formula

$a_n = a_{n-1}-6$

Hence,

The recursive formula $a_n = a_{n-1}-6$ can be used to generate the shown sequence

Match the equation with the step needed to solve it.

ziro4ka [17]

To solve this, you need to isolate/get the variable "m" by itself in the equation:

1. 2m - 1 = 3m Subtract 2m on both sides to get "m" on one side of the equation

2m - 2m - 1 = 3m - 2m

-1 = m

2. 2m = 1 + m Subtract m on both sides to get "m" on one side of the equation

2m - m = 1 + m - m

m = 1

3. m - 1 = 2 Add 1 on both sides to get "m" by itself

m - 1 + 1 = 2 + 1

m = 3

4. 2 + m = 3 Subtract 2 on both sides to get "m" by itself

m = 1

5. -2 + m = 1 Add 2 on both sides to get "m" by itself

m = 3

6. 3 = 1 + m Subtract 1 on both sides to get "m" by itself

2 = m

The diagram shows the universal set U = {parallelograms}. Set A represents parallelograms with four congruent sides, while Set B

alexdok [17]

Answer:

U ={ Parallelograms}

A= { Parallelogram with four congruent sides}={ Rhombus,Square}

B ={ Parallelograms with four congruent angles} ={ Rectangle, Square}

So, AB= { Square}

So among all the parallelograms "Square" is the only parallelogram which has all congruent sides as well as all congruent angles.
