How do you rewrite y=1-1/2 x in slope-intercept form?

2 answers:

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. It looks like you already have most of the equation there. Just rearrange a little. From what I can tell, you have y=1 - 1/2x. Just move the negative 1/2x in front of the 1. You'll get y= -1/2x + 1. Hope this helped!

Y = mx + b
y = -1/2x + b

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (-1, 4) and (0,2). y =

telo118 [61]

Answer:

y =( -1/2 )x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

first step is to determine the slope of the line ( which is the rise over the run) or symbolically slope is defined as m= ∆x / ∆y, so plugging those values we get...

m= ∆x / ∆y = (-1 - 0) / (4 - 2) = -1 / 2

so next is to find the zero( y-intercept) of the function by ....

y = mx + b

y = ( -1/2)x + b (since m is equal to -1/2)

2 = ( -1/2)0 + b

2= b

QUESTION 3 [10 MARKS] A bakery finds that the price they can sell cakes is given by the function p = 580 − 10x where x is the nu

Harman [31]

Answer:

(a)Revenue function, $R(x)=580x-x^2$

Marginal Revenue function, R'(x)=580-2x

(b)Fixed cost =900 .

Marginal Cost Function=300+50x

(c)Profit, $P(x)=-35x^2+280x-900$

(d)x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

Price Function $= 580 - 10x$

The revenue function

$R(x)=x\cdot (580-10x)\\R(x)=580x-x^2$

The marginal revenue function

$\dfrac{dR}{dx}= \dfrac{d}{dx}(R(x))=\dfrac{d}{dx}(580x-x^2)=580-2x\\R'(x)=580-2x$

Part B

(Fixed Cost)

The total cost function of the company is given by $c=(30+5x)^2$

We expand the expression

$(30+5x)^2=(30+5x)(30+5x)=900+300x+25x^2$

Therefore, the fixed cost is 900 .

Marginal Cost Function

If $c=900+300x+25x^2$

Marginal Cost Function, $\frac{dc}{dx}= (900+300x+25x^2)'=300+50x$

Part C

Profit Function

Profit=Revenue -Total cost

$580x-10x^2-(900+300x+25x^2)\\580x-10x^2-900-300x-25x^2\\$Profit,P(x)=-35x^2+280x-900$

Part D

To maximize profit, we find the derivative of the profit function, equate it to zero and solve for x.

$P(x)=-35x^2+280x-900\\P'(x)=-70x+280\\-70x+280=0\\-70x=-280\\$Divide both sides by -70\\x=4$

The number of cakes that maximizes profit is 4.

Of the 8 students in the chess club, three will represent the club at an upcoming competition. How many different 3-person teams

xz_007 [3.2K]

I think that this is a combination problem. From the given, the 8 students are taken 3 at a time. This can be solved through using the formula of combination which is C(n,r) = n!/(n-r)!r!. In this case, n is 8 while r is 3. Hence, upon substitution of the values, we have

C(8,3) = 8!/(8-3)!3!
C(8,3) = 56

There are 56 3-person teams that can be formed from the 8 students.
