Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the tax, we take the price times the tax rate

2 = 40* rate

Divide each side by 40

2/40 =rate

.05 = rate

Changing to percent form

5% = rate

A package of 85 paper plates costs $8.08, while a package with 55 paper plates costs $4.40. Which is the better buy? Round your

morpeh [17]

Answer:

55 paper plates for $4.40 is your best buy because the price for unit is $0.08

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the price for unit of each option

we have :

85 paper plates for $8.08

55 paper plates for $4.40

To find the price per unit we divide 8.08 ÷85 = .09 rounded to the nearest cent is .10

and 4.40 ÷ 55 = .08

Therefore, the best buy is $.08 or 55 paper plates for $4.40

F(x) = x2 – 3x – 2 is shifted 4 units left. The result is g(x). What is g(x)?

Ray Of Light [21]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{function transformations}
\\ \quad \\\\

\begin{array}{rllll} 
% left side templates
f(x)=&{{ A}}({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
y=&{{ A}}({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}}\sqrt{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}}(\mathbb{R})^{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}} sin\left({{ B }}x+{{ C}} \right)+{{ D}}
\end{array}$

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}
% right side info
\bullet \textit{ stretches or shrinks horizontally by } {{ A}}\cdot {{ B}}\\\\
\bullet \textit{ flips it upside-down if }{{ A}}\textit{ is negative}
\\\\
\bullet \textit{ horizontal shift by }\frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\\
\qquad if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is negative, to the right}\\\\
\qquad if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is positive, to the left}\\\\
\end{array}$

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}


\bullet \textit{ vertical shift by }{{ D}}\\
\qquad if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is negative, downwards}\\\\
\qquad if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is positive, upwards}\\\\
\bullet \textit{ period of }\frac{2\pi }{{{ B}}}
\end{array}$

now... your expression is not in vertex form, that's ok... to do a horizontal shift to the left by 4 units, we can simply, add the C and B component to the "x" variable, C=4, B =1, that way the horizontal shift of C/B or 4/1 is just +4, giving us a horizontal shift to the left

$\bf f(x)=x^2-3x-2\impliedby \textit{let's change that for }f(1x+4)
\\\\\\
f(1x+4)=(1x+4)^2-3(1x+4)-2
\\\\\\
f(x+4)=x^2+8x+16-3x-12-2
\\\\\\
f(x+4)=x^2-5x+2\impliedby g(x)$
