<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>

PLEASE EXPLAIN <br> I wil give brainiest
Advocard [28]

Answer: (-2, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection over the x-axis: (x, y) → (x, -y)

(-2, 2) → (-2, -2)

x would remain the same but the y would turn negative since we're reflecting over the x-axis. The x never changes in this situation but since we're flipping it over the x-axis, they y has to be negative.

Hope this helps!

I have some questions that need to be answered fast.<br><br> 1. 42/j = 35/55
Novay_Z [31]

\frac{42}{j}  =  \frac{35}{55}

to solve for j first you need to cross multiply;

j × 35 = 42 × 55

35j = 2,310

j = 2,310 ÷ 35 (did the inverse operation)

j = 66

Hope that helps :D

In the equation b= a-2, which is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable ? Explain???? need help i don't un
Nataliya [291]
A is independent while b is dependent.

This is because b is equal to a decreased by 2. Anytime a changes, then b does as well. B can only change in accordance with a.
