Carson needs to lease out a music studio to record his new album. The studio charges an initial studio-use fee plus an hourly fe

e for each hour in the studio. The total amount of money Carson would have to pay to use the studio for tt hours can be determined using the equation P=50t+100.P=50t+100. What is the yy-intercept of the equation and what is its interpretation in the context of the problem?

Answer:

The y-intercept of the equation is 100 and represents the initial studio-use fee.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this equation, our t variable (time) is the equivalent of the x-variable on a graph. This is because it is the variable that we 'change' to see its impact on y. We see how the amount of hours affects the price. So our P variable (price) is the equivalent of y on a graph. The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis on a graph. At this point, x=0.

Since P is our y, and t is our x, to find the y-intercept, we simply need to make t = 0.

P = 50(0) + 100

P = 100

Therefore the y-intercept is 100.

In this context, t represents time, so even though the studio has been used for 0 hours, the price is still 100. This is because the 100 represents the initial studio-use fee, and using it for certain amounts of time adds onto the initial fee of $100. The hourly fee is represented by 50t so it costs $50 more for each hour of use.

Hope this helped!

What is the mean absolute deviation of the data set? 12, 15, 7, 4, 9, 10, 9, 6
bearhunter [10]
Here is an example:
Find the MAD of 2,4,6,8 Step 1 : Find the mean of the data : (2+4+6+8) / 4 = 20/5 = 4 Step 2 : Find the distance between each data and mean. Distance between 2 and 5 is 3 Distance between 4 and 5 is 1 Distance between 6 and 5 is 1 Distance between 8 and 5 is 3
Step 3 : Add all the distances : 3+1+1+3 = 8
Step 4 : Divide it by the number of data : 8 / 4 = 2 2 is the average absolute deviation.

a newborn boa constrictor measure 18 inches long. An adult boa constrictor measures 9 times the lenght of the newborn plus 2 inc
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
Newborn = 18 inches
adult boa = 9 * 18 + 2 = 164 inches

Since all the information is given, then merely put the necessary facts in order. 

Had the length of the newborn been unknown, it would have been represented by x.

9x + 2 = 164
9x = 164 - 2
9x = 162
9x/9 = 162/9
x = 18
