Joseph is going to pay full price for the higher priced book so we start with 15 dollars.  Then he pays 50% of the second book which is 10 dollars, so we find 50% of 10 and then add it to 15...

15 + 50% x 10 =
15 + .5 x 10 =
15 + 5 = 20

He pays a total of $20

okay so ive got a ton of piecewise function things and I really suck at them so maybe someone wants to help me? :D thanks giving

[] signs mean that the number is included in the domain and () mean that the number is not included. Now,

1. [-1,5)
Because x is greater than or equal to -1 (included) but less than 5 (excluded

2. [-5,13)
When we plug in x = -1, we get the minimum value of -5, which is included because its x-value was included. The, we plug in x = 5 to find the range's maximum and this is excluded because its x-value was excluded.

3. 218
x = 6 lies in the domain of the first function so we will use it to evaluate the value of x = 6. We do this by simply substituting x into the function.

4. 12
x = 9 is included in the domain of the second function and the value of the second function at all  points is 12.

5. 103
x = 10 is included in the domain of the second function so we will use it to evaluate the value of x = 10. This is done by substituting x into the equation.

The steps below show the incomplete solution to find the value of x for the equation
mafiozo [28]
Step 1: 6x - 2x - 5 = -6 + 21 
Step 2: 6x - 2x - 5 = 15 
Step 3: 4x - 5 = 15 

The next step would be to add 5 to both sides of the equation. 
so Step 3: 4x - 5 = 15 .......add 5 to both sides would make 
Step 4: 4x = 20 
 
So after the next step you would have 4x = 20 

Hope this helps! :)

The table shows the battery life of four different mobile phones:
tekilochka [14]
Answer: Phone C

Using quick mental math, we can do 8% of 10 to get 0.8, which is close to the value of 0.0845*10. Also fairly quick is moving the decimal point over 1 spot to the right and we go from 0.0845 to 0.845 and that rounds to 0.8 when rounding to one decimal place. Recall that 8.45% = (8.45/100) = 0.0845

If you want to compute out the four results with a calculator, then it would look like this:
0.0845*20 = 1.69
0.0845*25 = 2.1125
0.0845*10 = 0.845
0.0845*18 = 1.521
and this shows that no other result (but choice C) is close to 0.8

So that's why the answer is choice C

A line has a slope of 7 and passes through the point (-2,-1) What is its equation in point-slope form?
elena-s [515]

Answer:

y + 1 = 7(x + 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form:

y - y1 =m(x - x1).

Here m = 7 and (x1,  y1) = (-2,  -1)

So the answer is;

y - (-1) = 7(x - (-2))
