Answer:

- 48

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to learn more about this concept, it's called composition of functions.

First, you plug in g(x) as if it were x into f(x).

f(g(x))= -5 (1/2x + 4) + 2

= -5/2x - 20 + 2

= -5/2x - 18

Then, plug in the value given, as x.

= -5/2 (12) - 18

= -30 - 18

= - 48

I hope this helped!

Calculate the total installment price the carrying charges in the number of months needed to save them money at the monthly rate

masha68 [24]

Answer:

the total installment is $936
the carrying charges are $186
the monthly rate to buy the items are 19.23 or 20 months

Step-by-step explanation:

$39 for 24 months comes to ...

$39 × 24 = $936

The "carrying charges" are the difference between the cash price and the installment price:

$936 -750 = $186

Saving at the rate of $39 per month, it would take ...

$750/$39 = 19.23 months about 20 months to save up the cash price.

Often, such savings would come from a once-a-month paycheck, so it would take more than 19 such paychecks to save the required amount.

hope it will help :)

otez555 [7]

Answer:

(a) The rate of change for the money earned, measured as dollars per delivery, between 0 and 2 deliveries is $2.

(b) The rate of change is the same between the two time intervals.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change for a variables based on another variable is known as the slope.

The formula to compute the slope is:

$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

(a)

Compute the rate of change for the money earned, measured as dollars per delivery, between 0 and 2 deliveries as follows:

For, x₁ = 0 and x₂ = 2 deliveries the money earned are y₁ = $5 and y₂ = $9.

The rate of change for the money earned is:

$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$=\frac{9-5}{2-0}\\\\=\frac{4}{2}\\\\=2$

Thus, the rate of change for the money earned, measured as dollars per delivery, between 0 and 2 deliveries is $2.

(b)

Compute the rate of change for the money earned, measured as dollars per delivery, between 2 and 4 deliveries as follows:

For, x₁ = 2 and x₂ = 4 deliveries the money earned are y₁ = $9 and y₂ = $13.

The rate of change for the money earned is:

$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$=\frac{13-9}{4-2}\\\\=\frac{4}{2}\\\\=2$

The rate of change for the money earned, measured as dollars per delivery, between 2 and 4 deliveries is $2.

Compute the rate of change for the money earned, measured as dollars per delivery, between 6 and 8 deliveries as follows:

For, x₁ = 6 and x₂ = 8 deliveries the money earned are y₁ = $17 and y₂ = $21.

The rate of change for the money earned is:

$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$=\frac{17-21}{8-6}\\\\=\frac{4}{2}\\\\=2$

The rate of change for the money earned, measured as dollars per delivery, between 6 and 8 deliveries is $2.

Thus, the rate of change is the same between the two time intervals.

A=5/6(B+C) SOLVE FOR C

Shalnov [3]

A = 5/6(B + C)

multiply 6 on both sides

6A = 5(B + C)

divide 5 from both sides

6A/5 = B + C

subtract B from both sides

6A/5 - B = C
