The explanatory variable is the amount of exposure the student is given to classical music.
The function represents the number of accidents (f(x)) per 50 million miles driven as a function of the driver's age (x).

f(45) indicates that you have to find the value of f(x) when x=45, to do so replace the equation of the function with the value of x and solve for f(x)

For x=45 years f(x)=190
f(45)=190; This value indicates that 45-year-old drivers had 190 accidents per 50 million miles driven.
Answer:
$18.96
Step-by-step explanation:
Now the mechanics earn $14.2 per hour, which is 25.1% less than before.
If we say that the earnings before were 100% (to facilitate our calculation and understand better), now the earrings are (100-25.1)%=74.9%. This is, now they make the 74.9% of what they used to made.
So:
74.9% = 14.2
Let's multiply both sides by 100%/74.9% to make a 100% appear at the left side (see that multiply and divide by 74.9 will make it desapear):
74.9% *(100%/74.9%) = 14.2 * (100%/74.9%)
100% = 14.2 * (100%/74.9%)
And (100%/74.9%) is equal to 1/0.749, they are the same. So:
100% = 14.2 * 1/0.749
100% = 18.96
So, before the new manager they used to make $18.96. (you can verify by multiplying it by 74.9% and the result is 14.2)
It wants you to find how much money you will spend a year at each separate gym. That way you can find out which one is cheaper. Once you’ve done that, you need to find how many days it would take for both gym’s cost to be the same after so many days.
Yes, because you need to remember and/or list out your square roots no matter what.
