<span>1.
"The spending limit on John’s credit card is given by the function f(x)=15,000+1.5x"

means that if the monthly income of John is $ 5,000 ,he can spend at most 

f(5,000)=15,000+1.5*5,000=15,000+ 7,500=22, 500 (dollars)

Or for example

if Johns monthly income is $8,000, then he can spend at most

 </span>f(8,000)=15,000+1.5*8,000=15,000+ 12,000=27,000 (dollars)<span>


2.
Now, assume that the maximum amount that John can spend is y.

Then, y=15,000+1.5x

we can express x, the monthly income, in terms of y by isolating x:

</span>y=15,000+1.5x
<span>
1.5x = y-15,000


</span>x= \frac{y-15,000}{1.5}
<span>
thus, in functional notation, x, the monthly income, is a function , say g, of variable y, the max amount:

</span>x=g(y)=\frac{y-15,000}{1.5}

since we generally use the letter x for the variable of a function, we write g again as:

g(x)=\frac{x-15,000}{1.5}
<span>
for example :

</span>g(50,000)=\frac{50,000-15,000}{1.5}= \frac{35,000}{1.5}= 23,333
<span>
tells us that if the maximum amount that John can spend is 50,000 $, then his monthly income is 23,333 $.

3.

If John's limit is $60,000, his monthly income is 

</span>g(60,000)=\frac{60,000-15,000}{1.5}= \frac{45,000}{1.5}=30,000<span>
 dollars.


Answer: $ 30,000

Remark: g is called the inverse function of f, since it undoes what f does.

instead of g(x), we could use the notation </span>f ^{-1}(x)<span>

leontyne sings for $1,000 an hour. Her rate increases by 50 percent after midnight. If she sings one night from 8:30 pm until 1:
iren2701 [21]
From 8.30 pm to 12 : 00

Difference = 12 : 00 - 08:30 = 3 : 30

3 hours 30 minutes = 3.5 hours.

Total for those hours = 3.5 * 1000 = $3500

From 12:00 to 1:00 am  = 1 hour.

50% increase =  50% of 1000 = .50 * 1000 = 500

So it will increase to 1000 + 500 = $1500 per hour.

For the 1 hour extra, 1 * 1500 = $1500

Total = $3500 + $1500 = $5000

She will be paid $5000

What is 39 44/55 round to the nearest ten?
muminat
<span> 0.8  that for the 44/55 idk what u want me to do with the 39

here how 2 turn them into decimals 
</span>

The fraction bar means "divided by." So finding the decimal equivalent of a fraction such as 1/4 means 1 divided by 4.
1 ÷ 4 = 0.25

It is not necessary to reduce a fraction before you convert it to a decimal but doing so might make the long division easier if you are doing it by hand.

For example, 9/12 = 9 ÷ 12 = 0.75. If you solve this with a calculator then it is easy to get the answer. However, if you use long division to solve this problem by hand or in your head, reducing 9/12 = 3/4, may make the problem easier. You may even recognize that 3/4 = 0.75 because 3 quarters equals 75 cents.

Which one is the right one? Help me please.
frez [133]

Answer:

90 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you first need to convert minutes to hours since the unit is km/h. Doing this we get half an hour (1 hour=60 mins so you divide 30 by 60) after converting you simply divide 45 by 1/2 or .5 to get the answer.
