Tina is saving to buy a notebook computer. She has two options. The first option is to put $200 away initially and save $10 ever

y month. The second option is to put $100 away initially and save $30 every month. After how many months would Tina save the same amount using either options? How much would she save with either option?

Answer: In five months,she will save the same money which is $250.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the first statement we can generate the function y=10x + 200  and using the second statement we can also generate the function y = 30x + 100 . Now using the two equations solve for x and y to determine how many months they cost the same.

y = 10x + 200

y = 30x + 100  

Substitute the value of x in the first equation into the second equation.

30x + 100= 10x + 200   now solve for x

         -100            -100

30x = 10x + 100

-10x    -10x

20x = 100

x= 5  

This means in five months Tina will save the same amount. Now to find out how much the amount is, plot the value of x into one of the equations and solve for  y.

y = 10(5) + 200

y = 50 + 200

y = 250  

She will save $250 with either option.

Which equation is best represented by the graph above (x+1)(x-3)(x+2). please explain why

<h3>Answer:</h3>

y = (x +2)(x -1)(x -3) . . . . or . . . . y = x³ -2x² -5x +6

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The graph shows y=0 at x=-2, x=1, and x=3. These are called the "zeros" or "roots" of the function, because the value of the function is zero there.

When "a" is a zero of a polynomial function, (x -a) is a factor. This means the factors of the graphed function are (x -(-2)), (x -1) and (x -3). The function can be written as the product of these factors:

... y = (x +2)(x -1)(x -3) . . . . . the equation represented by the graph

Or, the product can be multiplied out

... y = (x +2)(x² -4x +3)

... y = x³ -2x² -5x +6 . . . . . the equation represented by the graph
