6 0

The way to work it is to make a table in Excel (or equivalent program) with the data of budget for every year.

This is how it should look:

year budget 
 0 265.1 
 1 277.5 
 2 288.9 
 3 303.0
 4 311.3
 5 320.4
 6 334.5
 7 351.2
 8 368.2 
 9 381.7

Select both columns and inser a scatter plot graph (menu, insert, graph, scatterplot).

Now change the design of the graph to include the model. In this case I got y = 12.724 x + 262.92

x represents the number of year after 1990 and y represents the budget.

Now you can use the model to calcualte the budget when you know the year and to calculate the year when you know the budget.

For year 2001, x = 11 and y = 12.724 (11) + 262. 92 = 402.88 (which is 402,880)

This is the same year for which the budget exceeds 400,000.

tresset_1 [31]

Question a:
f(6) = (6)² + 2(6) + 8

f(6) = 36 + 12 + 8

f(6) = 56

Question b:
f(x+4) = (x+4)² + 2(x+4) + 8

f(x+4) = x² + 8x + 16 + 2x + 8 + 8

f(x+4) = x² + 10x + 32

Question c:
f(-x) = (-x)² + 2(-x) + 8

f(-x) = x - 2x + 8

An illusionist needs up to 10 volunteers for a show. The illusionist needs no fewer than 4 female volunteers. Let x represent th

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

FIRST OPTION.

THIRD OPTION.

FIFTH OPTION.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the number of of female volunteers and "y" the number of male volunteers.

You need to remember the meaning of the inequalities symbols:

: Less than.

$>$ : Greater than.

$\leq$ : Less than or equal to.

$\geq$ : Greater than or equal to.

In this case you know that the illusionist needs up to 10 volunteers, which indicates that the total number of volunteers can be less than or equal to 10 people. The inequality that represents this is:

$x+y\leq 10$

According to the exercise, the illusionist needs no fewer than 4 female volunteers. This means that number of female volunteer must be greater than or equal to 4:

$x\geq 4$
