Answer:
-1/10
Step-by-step explanation:
(5/(-10))/5 = -(5/10)/5 = 1/10

Answer: ![\sqrt[5]{y}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B5%5D%7By%7D)
I realize its probably not the largest readable font. If you are having trouble reading it, it is the square root of y; however, there is a tiny little 5 in the upper left corner to indicate a fifth root. So you would read it out as "the fifth root of y"
The rule I'm using is
![x^{1/n} = \sqrt[n]{x}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5E%7B1%2Fn%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bx%7D)
and the more general rule we could use is
![x^{m/n} = \sqrt[n]{x^m}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5E%7Bm%2Fn%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bx%5Em%7D)
where m = 1. This rule helps convert from rational exponent form (aka fractional exponents) to radical form.
Answer:
17. See below
18. 750
Step-by-step explanation:
17. Since the lollipops are being sold at the same price, 50 cents, for each one sold, they make a constant amount of money. For each increase in lollipops sold, there is a constant increase in money made, and thus the situation is a linear function.
18. To solve this equation, let's say y is the money made at the convention in dollars and x is the number of lollipops sold. If the principal gave them 125 dollars before they sold any lollipops (0 lollipops sold), then 125 is the y-intercept of the function, and in the equation y=mx+b, b=125. If each lollipop costs 50 cents (half of a dollar), then for each lollipop, x, sold, .5 dollars are made and are added to the profit, y. Thus, .5 dollars is the slope. The equation then becomes:

Now, if they need 500 dollars, y is thus equal to 500 dollars. Solving the equation:






Thus, 750 lollipops must be sold.
Option 1
because the x line is vertical and that’s the only one that crosses at 5
