Suppose that the number of a certain type of computer that can be sold when its price is P (in dollars) is given by a linear fun

ction N(P). (a) Determine N(P) if N(1000) = 10000 and N(1700) = 5800. (Use symbolic notation and fractions where needed.) N(P) = (b) Select the statement that gives the slope of the graph of N(P), including units and describes what the slope represents. 6 computers per dollar -6 dollars per computer computers per dollar -6 computers per dollar (c) What is the change AN in the number of computers sold if the price is increased by AP = 110 dollars? (Give your answer as a whole number.) AN = computers

Answer:

a) N(P) = -6P + 16000

b) slope = -6 computers per dollar

That means the number of computer sold reduce by 6 per dollar increase in price.

c) ∆N = -660 computers

Step-by-step explanation:

Since N(P) is a linear function

N(P) = mP + C

Where m is the slope and C is the intercept.

Case 1

N(1000) = 10000

10000 = 1000m + C ....1

Case 2

N(1700) = 5800

5800 = 1700m + C ....2

Subtracting equation 1 from 2

700m = 5800 - 10000

m = -4200/700

m = -6

Substituting m = -6 into eqn 1

10000 = (-6)1000 + C

C = 10000+ 6000 = 16000

N(P) = -6P + 16000

b) slope = -6 computers per dollar

That means the number of computer sold reduce by 6 per dollar increase in price.

Slope is the change in number of computer sold per unit Change in price.

c) since slope m = -6 computers per dollar

∆P = 110 dollars

∆N = m × ∆P

Substituting the values,

∆N = -6 computers/dollar × 110 dollars

∆N = -660 computers.

The number of computer sold reduce by 660 when the price increase by 110 dollars

Alexis, Becca, and Cindy do volunteer work at Adopt-a-Pet Animal Shelter. They worked a total of 285 hours at the shelter last s
swat32

Alexis worked for 59 hours, Becca worked for 74 hours and Cindy worked for 152 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total hours worked by three of them = 285 hours

Let,

x represent the hours of Alexis.

y represent the hours of Becca.

z represent the hours of Cindy.

According to given statement;

x+y+z=285    Eqn 1

Alexis worked 15 hours less than Becca.

x = y-15         Eqn 2

z = 2y+4        Eqn 3

Putting value of x and z from Eqn 2 and 3 in Eqn 1

(y-15)+y+(2y+4)=285\\y-15+y+2y+4=285\\4y-11=285\\4y=285+11\\4y=296

Dividing both sides by 4

\frac{4y}{4}=\frac{296}{4}\\y=74

Putting y=74 in Eqn 2

x=74-15\\x=59

Putting y=74 in Eqn 3

z=2(74)+4\\z=148+4\\z=152

Alexis worked for 59 hours, Becca worked for 74 hours and Cindy worked for 152 hours.

1. Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph of the
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

#1) y = -4x + 1; #2) parallel; #3) y = -1/2x + 5/2; #4) y = 2x + 4; #5) Never

Step-by-step explanation:

#1) We want a line that passes through (1, -3) and is parallel to y = 2-4(x-1).  First we simplify our equation using the distributive property:

y = 2-4(x-1) = 2-4(x) -4(-1) = 2-4x--4 = 2-4x + 4 = -4x + 6

Lines that are parallel have the same slope; this means we want a line through (1, -3) with a slope of -4.  Using point-slope form,

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\y--3=-4(x-1)\\\\y+3=-4(x)-4(-1)\\\\y+3=-4x+4\\\\y+3-3=-4x+4-3\\\\y=-4x+1

#2) We must first write our second equation in slope-intercept form by isolating the y term:

2x+y=7

Subtract 2x from each side"

2x+y-2x = 7-2x

y = -2x+7

This means the slope is -2; the slopes are the same, so the lines are parallel.

#3) The slope of our given equation is 2.  To be perpendicular, the second line must have a slope that is a negative reciprocal (flipped and opposite signs); this makes it -1/2.  Using point-slope form,

y-0=\frac{-1}{2}(x-5)\\\\y=\frac{-1}{2}(x)+\frac{-1}{2}(-5)\\\\y=\frac{-1}{2}x+\frac{5}{2}

#4) The slope of Main Street on the diagram, found by using rise/run, is 2.  This means the bike path will also have a slope of 2 in order to be parallel.  The park entrance is at (0, 4).  This makes the equation y = 2x+4.

#5) Two lines with the same slope are always parallel.  They are never perpendicular.
