It's helpful because let's say you have $3.23 and you need to give someone $1.00 then you would need to subtract then what way you will know what you need to do and how many money u have left

Its a lot easier to do 1.200 - .200. Than to do 1.248- .239. How I see it, estimating always gives you something to fall back on or to help see if your exact answer is accurate

The cost to ride a ferris wheel is $2.00 per person. The ferris a wheel has a capacity of

irakobra [83]

Answer:

When we have a function f(x), the domain of the function is the set of all the inputs that "work" (Not only in a mathematical way, the context is also important) with the function f(x)

In this case, we have a function M(p) = $2*p

This function represents the amount of money collected depending on the number of people who ride on the ferris whell.

Then p can be only a whole number (we can not have 1.5 people, only whole numbers of people).

And we also know that the maximum capacity of the ferris is 64 people.

Then:

p ≤ 64

And we also should add the restriction:

0 ≤ p ≤ 64

(Because p can't be smaller than zero)

Such that p should also be an integer, then, the domain is:

D: p ∈ Z, p ∈ {0, 1, 2, ..., 64}

Charlie runs a book rental business. He currently charges $3 per book and rents out an average of 38 books a day.

liberstina [14]

Answer:

b(x) = (3+0.5x) (38-4x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the generated revenue per day be b(x)

Let x be the number for every 50cents($0.5) price increase

Formula to be used to generate the revenue generated is expressed using the formula:

b(x) = Price × Quantity

Next is to derive the price and quantity function in terms of x.

For the price:

If he currently charges $3 per book

Let derive the price function for the model and x number of price increase for every 50 cents, then

Price = ($0.5 of x)+$3

Price = $3+$0.5x

Price = $(3+0.5x)

For the quantity:

Number of books rent out per day = 38

If for every 50cents increase in rental price x, the average business can expect to lose 4 rentals a day, then the total lost per quantity = 4x

Quantity per time = Number of books rent out daily - loss on each book

Quantity = $(38-4x)

Next is to substitute the price and quantity function into the revenue formula above:

Revenue = Price × Quantity

Revenue = (3+0.5x)(38-4x)

Hence the equation that models this scenario, where b(x) is the revenue generated and x is the number of 50 price increases is b(x) = (3+0.5x)(38-4x)
