Steps for solving:

-Start with the slope formula which is shown at the top in blue-

-Plug your given numbers in for the appropriate places-

-Simplify from there-

-Keep in mind that minus a negative can be thought of as plus a positive so I put a red vertical line to show a plus sign-

A car dealership has 24ft of dividers with which to enclose a rectangular play sace
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

A)  Area = A(x) = 24x - x^2

B)  Domain = {x < 24}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Complete Question:</u>

A car dealership has 24ft of dividers with which to enclose a rectangular play space in a corner of a customer lounge. The sides against the wall require no partition. Suppose the play space is x feet long.  

A) express the area of the play space as a function of x

B) find the domain of the function

Solution:

A)

The rectangle has area of length * width

length is x

so width will be 24 - x

Hence, the area will be:

Area = x(24 - x)

Area = A(x) = 24x - x^2

B)

Domain is the set of x values that make the function defined.

The domain will be all values less than 24.

Because if you take 24, the area would be 0 [doesn't make sense]

if you take anything over 24, the area would be negative [not possible]

Hence, the domain is:

Domain = {x < 24}

The weight, in pounds, of a newborn baby tt months after birth can be modeled by the function W(t)=1.25t+6.W(t)=1.25t+6. What is
ollegr [7]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: The weight, in pounds, of a newborn baby t months after birth can be modeled by the function W(t)=1.25t+6.

TO FIND: What is the y-intercept of the function and what is its interpretation in the context of the problem.

SOLUTION:

in  W(t)=1.25t+6

if t=0

W(0)=6

Hence y-intercept is 6

the y-intercept in this represents the weight of baby just after he is born.

The table below represents a linear function f(x) and the equation represents a function g(x):
Elza [17]

Answer:

(a) The slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x)

(b) f(x) has a greater y intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\begin{array}{cc}x & {f(x)} & -1&-9&0&-1&1&7 \ \end{array}

g(x) = 3x - 2

Solving (a): Compare the slopes

The slope (m) of f(x) is calculated as;

m = \frac{f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{x_2 - x_1}

This gives:

m = \frac{f(0) - f(1)}{0 - 1}

m = \frac{f(0) - f(1)}{- 1}

Substitute values for f(0) and f(1)

m = \frac{-1 - 7}{- 1}

m = \frac{-8}{- 1}

m = 8

The slope of g(x) can be gotten using the following comparison

g(x) = mx + b

m \to slope

So:

g(x) = 3x -2

m = 3

m_{f(x)} > m_{g(x)}

Solving (b): Compare the y intercept

y intercept is when x = 0

From the table of f(x)

f(0) = -1

From the equation of g(x)

g(x) = 3x -2

g(0) = 3*0-2

g(0) =-2

<em></em>f(0) > g(0)<em></em>
