Step-by-step explanation:
we have two lines you have to draw.
one is all in the bottom left quadrant (for x<=0) and one in the upper right quadrant (for x>5).
the easiest is for x>5. the line function is only
f(x) = y = 3
so, this is a horizontal line on the grid line for y = 3. it starts above x=5 and then goes all the way to the right ("to infinity and beyond !"). just, if possible, mark the starting point at x=5 as a little empty "circle" instead of a full dot, as x=5 is explicitly excluded (due to x>5).
and for x<=0 the line
f(x) = y = 4x - 3
goes sharp down but goes a little bit to the left the further down it goes. it starts with x=0, which gives y=-3 per the function.
so, the starting point (with a full dot, as x=0 is included) is (0,-3).
from there it goes sharp down and a little bit to the left.
for example the next point is for x=-1, which gives y=-7, so it is the point (-1,-7). x=-2 gives y=-11 and the point (-2,-11).
the line has to go through so these points and further down (again, "to infinity and beyond !"), as to move further left on the negative x-axis.
There is a very simple way of dealing with percentages.
"increase" means add
"decrease/discount/reduce" means subtract
Now, we know that the original price is 100%.
100% = 1 (like 50% = 0.5)
So if an object's price is x and it is 20% off, we get:
100%x - 20%x
Taking x common,
x(100% - 20%)
= 0.8x
Therefore, if we fist add/subtract the percentages we can multiply directly with the original to get the answer. This is as follows:
5] Increase 101 by 16%
1 + 0.16 = 1.16
So the answer is:
101 * 1.16
= 117.16
6] Decrease 36 by 21%
1 - 0.21 = 0.79
The answer is:
36 * 0.79
= 28.44
7] Let original price be x, we know it is 35% off
1 - 0.35
= 0.65
0.65x = 13
x = 20
The missing numbers are 3, and 7
the pattern is +2 to each number
