Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If Samantha's earnings continue to increase at the same rate, this means that her earning is increasing arithmetically.

If she earned $550 in the first day, we can say the first term is $550

If she earned $750 on the third day, we can say the third term is $750

For us to know by how much her money is increasing, we need to find the common difference d formed by the sequence

550, x , 750

T1 = 550

T2 = x

T3 = 750

Common difference d = T2-T1 = T3-T2

x - 550 = 750 - x = d

Let's calculate the second term first i.e x

Since x - 550 = 750 - x = d

x - 550 = 750 - x

Collect like terms

x+x = 750+550

2x = 1300

x = 1300/2

x = 650

d = T2-T1

d = x - T1

d = 650-550

d = 100

Hence her money keeps increasing by $100 each day

Paralell to y=4x-6 through (12,10)

stiks02 [169]

<u>ANSWER</u>

The line that is parallel to $y=4x-6$ through $(12,10)$ is $y=2x-14$ .

<u>EXPLANATION</u>

The equation that is parallel to the line $y=4x-6$ has a slope that is equal to the slope of this line.

By comparing this equation to the general slope intercept form,

$y=mx+c$ ,this line has slope $m=2$ .

Hence the line parallel to this line also has slope $m=2$ .

Let $y=mx+b$ be the equation of the line parallel to the line

$y=4x-6$

We can substitute $m=2$ to obtain;

$y=2x+b$

If the line passes through the point $(12,10)$ ,then this point must satisfy its equation.

We substitute $x=12$ and $y=10$ to obtain;

$10=2(12)+b$

We this equation for $b$ .

$\Rightarrow 10=24+b$

$\Rightarrow 10-24=b$

$\Rightarrow -14=b$

We substitute this value of $b=-14$ in to $y=2x+b$ to get;

$y=2x+-14$ .

Hence the equation of the line that is parallel to $y=4x-6$ through $(12,10)$ is $y=2x-14$ .

2.<br> Which of the functions below is an inverse of the quadratic function f(x) = x2 - 3 ?

mezya [45]

Answer:

the inverse of the quadratic function $f(x) = x^2 - 3$ is $\mathbf{f^{-1}(x)=\pm \sqrt{x+3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find inverse of the quadratic function $f(x) = x^2 - 3$

Let

$y=x^2-3$

Replace x and y

$x=y^2-3$

Now, we will solve for y

Adding 3 on both sides

$x+3=y^2-3+3$

$x+3=y^2$

Taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{y^2}=\sqrt{x+3}\\y=\pm \sqrt{x+3}$

Now replace y with $f^{-1}(x)$

$f^{-1}(x)=\pm \sqrt{x+3}$

So, the inverse of the quadratic function $f(x) = x^2 - 3$ is $\mathbf{f^{-1}(x)=\pm \sqrt{x+3}}$

Jack has $6.00 less than twice the amount of money David has. Together they have $45.00. How much money does Jack have

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Jack - $28

David - $17

Step-by-step explanation:

Jack has 2d-6 where d is David's money. David has d money. Together they have 45 and we add the two together.

2d-6+d=45

3d-6=45

3d=51

d=$17

We can then substitute back and find 2(17)-6=34-6=$28.

Helpppp ASAP only the table

Elenna [48]

For the 2 tabs on the table you subtract and get your answer. And for 3 and 4 you divide 90 and 55, 42 and 30. Then try to divide the other ones too :)
