Answer: 286 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
x : # of months that has gone by
0.24x : cost of the 24 cent plan after "x" minutes
39.95 + 0.10x : cost of the 10 cent plan after "x" minutes
1. 39.95 + 0.10x > 0.24x
2. 39.95 > 0.24x - 0.10x
3. 39.95 > 0.14x
4. 285.36 > x
x must be AT LEAST 286 minutes for plan #2 (39.95 + 0.10x) to be a better deal
X = 6 after distributing then adding 39 to both sides and then divide by 13
TTese are all parabolas whose axis of symmetry is the y axis. The negative coefficient means they open downwards and the positive mean they open upwards. The higher the absolute value of the coefficient is the greater the slope, so 2x^2 will be steeper than x^2 and -4x^2 will be steeper than - 2x^2.
So h(x) and j(x) are the answers.
Independent quantity (x) is number of races won
dependent quantity f(x)...or y is total virtual money
the function is : f(x) = 500x + 5000 or y = 500x + 5000
Ok....
What am I supposed to answer here???
