F(x) is the function that represents a given equation. It is defined more specifically by rules or conditions to satisfy the whole formula/equation.

In this case, f(x) has an inverse proportion with x (e.g. f(x) = 1/x). The second parameter says that f(x) = -15 when x is 30. Given that condition, just look for the formula, among the choices, that will result to -15 when x = 30. The answer is:

D. f(x) = -450/x

This is just -450/30 = -15

Mrs.Click has a strawberry patch in her garden. It's border is 4/5 meters wide and 3/2 meters long. What is the area of Mrs.Clic

pashok25 [27]

Answer

Mrs. Click's Garden is 6/5 or 1 1/5 square meters.

Explanation

Mrs. Click's has a rectangular garden. To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the width by the length. To find the area of Mrs. Click's Garden, you multiply 4/5 by 3/2.

To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerator by the denominator.

4×3 is 12 and 5×2 is 10. You get the fraction 12/10, which can be simplified to 6/5, or 1 1/5.

Which expressions are equivalent to (7^-2)*(7^6)

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(7^-2)*(7^6)=7^-2+6

......since the base 7 is the same, when u multiply them, you should add the exponents and keep 7 as it is. That will be 7^4, which in equivalent to ans D(7^2)^2.

In the first equation in the system of equations, y represents the money collected from selling sweatshirts. In the second equat

NeTakaya

Answer:

The solution x = 229.89 ≅ 230 (since we cannot have a decimal number of sweatshirts)implies that, the money collected from selling sweatshirts equals the money used in producing sweatshirts when 230 sweatshirts have been sold or produced.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question

In the first equation in the system of equations, y represents the money collected from selling sweatshirts. in the second equation, y represents the money spent to produce x sweatshirts with team logos on them for a professional sports league.

y=35x; y=-0.05(x-400)²+9,492

what does the solution of the system represent in this context?

Solution

The solution of the system is obtained when both equations are equal. That is y=35x = y=-0.05(x-400)²+9,492 .

So, 35x = -0.05(x-400)² + 9,492.

Expanding the right side, we have

35x = -0.05(x² - 800x + 160000) + 9492

35x = -0.05x² -800x × -0.05 + (-0.05) × 160000 + 9492

35x = -0.05x² +40x - 8000 + 9492

35x = -0.05x² +40x + 1492

Collecting all the terms to the left side, we have

0.05x² - 40x - 1492 + 35x = 0

0.05x² - 5x -1492 = 0

Using the quadratic formula,

$x = \frac{-(-5) +/- \sqrt{(-5)^{2} - 4 X 0.05 X - 1492} }{2X0.05} = \frac{5 +/- \sqrt{25 + 298.4} }{0.1} = \frac{5 +/- \sqrt{323.4} }{0.1}\\= \frac{5 +/- 17.983 }{0.1}\\= \frac{5 - 17.983 }{0.1} or \frac{5 + 17.983 }{0.1}\\= \frac{-12.983 }{0.1} or \frac{22.983 }{0.1}\\= -129.83 or 229.83$

We choose the positive answer x = 229.83. Since we cannot have a decimal number of sweatshirts, we approximate to the nearest whole number. So, x = 229.83 ≅ 230 sweatshirts.

The solution implies that the money collected from selling sweatshirts equals the money used in producing sweatshirts when 230 sweatshirts have been sold or produced.

We confirm that by plugging in x = 229.83 in both equations.

y = 35x = 35(229.83) = 8044.05 ≅ 8044.1

y=-0.05(x-400)²+9,492 = y=-0.05(229.83-400)²+9,492 = y=-0.05(-170.17)²+9,492 = y=-0.05(28,957.8289)+9,492 = -1447.8914 + 9492 = 8044.11 ≅ 8044.1
