Jessica is selling books during the summer to earn money for college. She earns a commission on each sale but has to pay for her

own expenses. After a month of driving from neighborhood to neighborhood and walking door to door she figures out that her weekly earnings are approximately a linear function of the number of doors she knocks on. She writes the equation of the function like this: E(X) =7X -25, where X is the number of doors she knocks on during the week and E (X) is her earnings for the week in dollars. What does the slope of Jessica's function represent?
A. for each additional set of books she sells her earnings will increase by $25
B. for each additional door she knocks on her earnings will increase by $7
C. for each additional door she knocks on her earnings will increase by $25
D. for each additional set of books she sells her earnings will increase by $7

Answer:

For each additional door she knocks on her earnings will increase by some dollars but not $25

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the equation is

e(x)=7x-25

here we see that the slope of Jessica Function is 7 , hence it is the angle , the line makes with the x axis is positive and it is less than 90°

Thus we see that for every unit change in x , there is some increment in the value of e(x).

The perimeter of this square is 24x – 20. Which expression represents the length of a side?
levacccp [35]

Answer:

6x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find 2 sides added together, so we do (24x-20)/2=12x-10. (12x-10)/2=6x-5, so it is 6x-5.

What do you do to the equation y = x to make its graph move up on the y-axis?
densk [106]

Recall that in Linear Functions, we wrote the equation for a linear function from a graph. Now we can extend what we know about graphing linear functions to analyze graphs a little more closely. Begin by taking a look at Figure 8. We can see right away that the graph crosses the y-axis at the point (0, 4) so this is the y-intercept.

Then we can calculate the slope by finding the rise and run. We can choose any two points, but let’s look at the point (–2, 0). To get from this point to the y-intercept, we must move up 4 units (rise) and to the right 2 units (run). So the slope must be

\displaystyle m=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}=\frac{4}{2}=2m=

​run

​

​rise

​2

​

​4

​​ =2

Substituting the slope and y-intercept into the slope-intercept form of a line gives

\displaystyle y=2x+4y=2x+4

HOW TO: GIVEN A GRAPH OF LINEAR FUNCTION, FIND THE EQUATION TO DESCRIBE THE FUNCTION.

Identify the y-intercept of an equation.

Choose two points to determine the slope.

Substitute the y-intercept and slope into the slope-intercept form of a line.

EXAMPLE 4: MATCHING LINEAR FUNCTIONS TO THEIR GRAPHS

Match each equation of the linear functions with one of the lines in Figure 9.

\displaystyle f\left(x\right)=2x+3f(x)=2x+3

\displaystyle g\left(x\right)=2x - 3g(x)=2x−3

\displaystyle h\left(x\right)=-2x+3h(x)=−2x+3

\displaystyle j\left(x\right)=\frac{1}{2}x+3j(x)=

Figure 9

SOLUTION

Analyze the information for each function.

This function has a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of 3. It must pass through the point (0, 3) and slant upward from left to right. We can use two points to find the slope, or we can compare it with the other functions listed. Function g has the same slope, but a different y-intercept. Lines I and III have the same slant because they have the same slope. Line III does not pass through (0, 3) so f must be represented by line I.

This function also has a slope of 2, but a y-intercept of –3. It must pass through the point (0, –3) and slant upward from left to right. It must be represented by line III.

This function has a slope of –2 and a y-intercept of 3. This is the only function listed with a negative slope, so it must be represented by line IV because it slants downward from left to right.

This function has a slope of \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}

​​  and a y-intercept of 3. It must pass through the point (0, 3) and slant upward from left to right. Lines I and II pass through (0, 3), but the slope of j is less than the slope of f so the line for j must be flatter. This function is represented by Line II.

Now we can re-label the lines as in Figure 10.

Finding the x-intercept of a Line

So far, we have been finding the y-intercepts of a function: the point at which the graph of the function crosses the y-axis. A function may also have an x-intercept, which is the x-coordinate of the point where the graph of the function crosses the x-axis. In other words, it is the input value when the output value is zero.

To find the x-intercept, set a function f(x) equal to zero and solve for the value of x. For example, consider the function shown.

\displaystyle f\left(x\right)=3x - 6f(x)=3x−6

Set the function equal to 0 and solve for x.

The graph of the function crosses the x-axis at the point (2, 0).

Q & A

Do all linear functions have x-intercepts?

No. However, linear functions of the form y = c, where c is a nonzero real number are the only examples of linear functions with no x-intercept. For example, y = 5 is a horizontal line 5 units above the x-axis. This function has no x-intercepts.

Graph of y = 5.

Figure 11

A GENERAL NOTE: X-INTERCEPT

The x-intercept of the function is value of x when f(x) = 0. It can be solved by the equation 0 = mx + b.

A circle has a diameter of 14cm. What's the circumfrence?
vesna_86 [32]
I believe that when finding the radius of a circle you half the diameter, but when finding the circumference of a circle you need to multiply the diameter (14cm) by pi.

So 14xpi= 43.98229715

But it can be simplified/ rounded to 44cm.

Of course I might be incorrect so do please correct me if I am wrong.

A storage tank has A circumference Of 200 meters what is the area of the base of the tank
lorasvet [3.4K]

Circumference = 2 pi r

2 pi r = 200

r = 100 / pi

Area of base = pi r r

Area of base = 100*100 / pi

Area of base = 3183.1 sq. m.
