Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The minimum (or min) of a set of numbers is the number with the smallest value in the set.
In this case, the smallest number in the set is
.
Answer:
36. There are 36 students in the class.
Step-by-step explanation:
4/12 oatmeal
2/12 cinnamon
3/12 chocolate
9 peanut
The fractions added together = 9/12
This means the 9 students = 3/12 of the class
3 x 4 = 12
9 x 4 = 36
The second and last one.
The second one multiplies the cost of each type of ticket by two, therefore saying that you wanted to buy two of each type of ticket.
The last one multiplies the cost of a single ticket of all three types and multiplies it by 2.
The initial fee of $50 is essentially the y intercept because this is the value when x = 0 (x is the number of labor-hours). So b = 50.
The slope is m = 30 because each increase of 1 hour leads to the cost bumping up by 30 dollars. In other words, slope = rise/run = (change in cost)/(change in hours) = 30/1
So we plug m = 30 and b = 50 into the y = mx+b formula to get y = 30x+50
Replace y with f(x) to get f(x) = 30x+50
The linear function for the cost is f(x) = 30x+50
Note: Some books may use other letters (instead of x and f(x)), but the idea is still the same
Once you know the cost function, you replace x with 4.5 to find the amount it will cost to have a painter work for 4.5 hours.
f(x) = 30x+50
f(4.5) = 30*4.5+50
f(4.5) = 135+50
f(4.5) = 185
It will cost 185 dollars to have the painter work for 4.5 hours
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) (-3 - (-8))/(6- (-5))= 5/11
