A new video game is expected to sell 100 copies the first hour at a local game store. After that, the sales will follow the func

tion s(x) = 12(x − 1) where x is the number of hours. What is the function that shows total sales, including the first hour?
s(x) = 12(x − 1) − 100

s(x) = 100x − 12

s(x) = 100 − 12(x − 1)

s(x) = 100 + 12(x − 1)

To answer this you need to make simple thought experiment. Since the number of sales after time passes cannot go negative (note that rate at which copies are sold can drop over time but total number cannot) that means that you are adding number of sales at first hour and during first hour.

first option cannot be the answer because you are subtracting 100 copies to total number of sold copies which is not logical.

The answer is D)   s(x) = 100 + 12(x-1)
after 1 hour (if you replace x with 1 in equation above) you will get 100 copies which matches conditions in the text.

Select all of the statements that are true for the given parabola.
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

A and B

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum occurs at the turning point ( vertex )

The coordinates of the vertex are (1, - 2 ) → A

The x- intercepts are the points where the graph crosses the x- axis

This occurs at (3, 0 ) and (- 1, 0 ) → B

The axis of symmetry is a vertical line passing through the vertex

Equation of axis of symmetry is x = 1 , not y = - 2

(1, - 2 ) is a minimum not a maximum , see above

What is the solution to 2x+12=5x-9
Wittaler [7]
So 2x+12=5x-9
you want all of the unknowns on one side and all of  the known values on the other or
subtract 2x from both sides
12=3x-9
add 9 to both sides
21=3x
divide both sides by 3
7=x

PLEASE HELP! A positive number is 1/3 of another number. The sum of the numbers is five less than the square of the larger numbe
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: The numbers are 1 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = smaller number , y= larger number.

As per given,

x=\dfrac{y}{3}   ...(i)

x+y=y^2-5       ...(ii)

Put value of x from (i) in (ii)

\dfrac{y}{3}+y=y^2-5\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac43y=y^2-5\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3y^2-4y-15=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3y^2-9y+5y-15=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3y(y-3)+5(y-3)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ (y-3)(3y+5)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=3 \ \ or\ y=\dfrac{-5}{3}

Since numbers are positive , so y=3 is correct.

And x will be 1  [from (i)]

Hence, the numbers are 1 and 3.
