A shipping company's inventory for a given item is modeled by the function f(x) = 500 − 8x, where "x" is the number of hours tha

t elapse since opening. Explain the contextual meaning of the coefficient of x and write a function g(x) to model tomorrow's inventory if the company ships for ten hours today, no new inventory arrives, and the shipping rate doubles.

Answer:

See step by step explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The coefficient of x means there are 8 item shipped every hour.

2. g(x) = 500 - f(10) - 16x = 420 - 16x

Answer:

The coefficient of x is -8 it means the company ships 8 items each hour.

g(x)=420-16x

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

f(x)=500-8x

where, "x" is the number of hours that elapse since opening.

In the given function 500 represents the initial inventory and coefficient of x represent rate of shipping per hour.

The coefficient of x is -8 it means the company ships 8 items each hour.

It the company ships for ten hours today, then the initial inventory for tomorrow is

f(x)=500-8(10)=420

The shipping rate doubles. So, the shipping rate for tomorrow is

2\times (-8)=-16

The function g(x) to model tomorrow's inventory is

g(x)=420-16x

Therefore, the required function is g(x)=420-16x.

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that for a function f(x) and for a constant k

f(x+k) represents a horizontal translation for the function f(x) by k units in the negative-x direction.

Hence f(x+k) is simply the graph of f(x) that has been moved left (negative x direction) by k units.

From the graph, we can see that g(x) = f(x+k) is simply the graph of f(x) that has been moved 4 units in the negative x-direction.

hence K is simply 4 units.

Answer:

  y = 38x

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant of proportionality (k) is the value of y when x=1. The table shows that to be 38. Then the equation is ...

  y = kx

  y = 38x
