Simplify algebraic expression 9+5n-3-5n

Increasing intervals represent the inputs that make the graph rise, or the intervals where the function has a positive slope. Decreasing intervals represent the inputs that make the graph fall, or the intervals where the function has a negative slope.

The inputs ( − values) that make () rise are

Serenity works in a department store selling clothing. She makes a guaranteed salary of $300 per week, but is paid a commision o

madam [21]

Answer:

$568.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Serenitys salary s is given by the equation:

s = 300 + 0.25*x

In case of x = 1075:

s = 300 + 0.25*1075 = 568.75

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\text{B) 4}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the properties of some of these circles to solve and find the value of x.

FIrst off - we know that to find the side of a right triangle we can use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$ (a and b being legs, c being the hypotenuse.)

<h2><u>Finding the hypotenuse</u></h2>

We also know that this triangle is in a circle. Part of the hypotenuse and the altitude of the triangle are in the circle.

Point W is the center of the circle. Therefore, any points stretching to the edge from it will be equal (since this is a circle).

With this knowledge - UW and WZ are equal.

Therefore, since UW is $x-1$ , WZ will be too.

We also know the length of VZ. We can add this to WZ to find the length of the whole hypotenuse.

$\displaystyle x-1+2 \\ x+1$

So the length of the hypotenuse, WV, is $x+1$ .

<h2><u>Finding the value of x</u></h2>

Now that we know the length of the hypotenuse, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem like we stated before to find the value of x.

We know the two legs are $x-1$ and $2x-4$ , while the hypotenuse is

$\displaystyle (x-1)^2 + (2x-4)^2 = (x+1)^2$
$(x^2 - 2x + 1) + (4x^2-16x+16) = (x^2 + 2x + 1)$ (use FOIL to find the value of each expression squared)
$5x^2 - 18x + 17 = x^2 + 2x + 1$ (simplify the left side)
$4x^2 -20x + 16 = 0$ (subtract both sides by $x^2 +2x + 1$ )
$x = \frac{{ -b \pm \sqrt {b^2 - 4ac} }}{{2a}}$ (Quadratic formula)
$\frac{{ -(-20) \pm \sqrt {(-20)^2 - 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 16} }}{{2 \cdot 4}}$ (plug in values from equation)
$\frac{{ 20 \pm \sqrt {400 - 256} }}{8}}$ (simplify)
$\frac{{ 20 \pm \sqrt {144} }}{8}}$ (simplify)
$\frac{{ 20 \pm 12 }}{8}}$ (simplify)
$\displaystyle x = \frac{20+12}{8} \ \text{and} \ \frac{20-12}{8}$ (use plus/minus to find two roots)
$\displaystyle x = \frac{32}{8} \ \text{and} \ \frac{8}{8}$ (simplify)
$\displaystyle x = 4 \ \text{and} \ 1$

1 can not be a possible answer because UW would end up being $(1-1) = 0$ units long! This isn't possible!

Therefore, the correct answer would be B) 4.

Hope this helped!
