The final cost of a sale item is determined by multiplying the price on the tag by 75%. Which best describes the function that r

epresents the situation? It is linear because the ratio of the change in the final cost compared to the rate of change in the price tag is constant. It is linear because the function is continuous. It is nonlinear because the final cost is determined by multiplying each price tag by 0.75. It is nonlinear because the price tag and final cost columns do not have the same common difference.

Let us assume the price on tag is $p and the sale is represented by $s.

It is given that, the price on each tag is multiplied by 75%

75% = \frac{75}{100} = 0.75

s = 0.75\times p

s=0.75p

If we compare this equation with the slope intercept form of line i.e y=mx+b

slope m = 0.75 which is constant for all the prices.

Hence, it is clear that the function is linear.

This rejects option C and option D

All linear equations are continuous but we are dealing with the price and sale and price cannot be 0. So we cannot choose option B.

Thus option A is correct .

First we try to frame the equation between the sale price and the final cost.

Let us consider, the price to be x and the final cost to be y, since the final cost is 75% of the price, we have the below equation

y = 0.75x

This is of the form of straight line equation y = mx +c where c =0 and m = 0.75

This means the function is linear since it satisfies a straight line equation.

So, we can eliminate options (3) and (4)

Now, the function is not a continuous one because the function is has definite value which is 0.75x and this make the function discrete. Hence option (2) is eliminated

Therefore we are left with option (1) which is the answer

Answer is (1) It is linear because the ratio of the change in the final cost compared to the rate of change in the price tag is constant

If the point (3,5) is on f(x) find the corresponding point on the graph of y=(x+2)+1
ad-work [718]

The corresponding point to the point given (3,5) which is on the graph of f(x) as described in the task content is; (3,6).

<h3>What is the corresponding point to the given point (3,5) as given in the task?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the point given originally is; (3,5).

However, it is required that the point which is equivalent to the given point on the graph of y=(x+2)+1 be identified.

It therefore follows that the point required as in discuss is;

y = (3+2) +1

y = 6.

Hence, the corresponding point is; (3,6).

What is the domain of the graphed function?
frosja888 [35]

Yo sup??

Let the function be

y=f(x)

Domain refers to the permissible values of x

since its given that 1<x<5

therefore domain of the given function is x∈(1,5)

Hope this helps.
