f money Stephen has after walking the given number of dogs.
Number of dogs walked Total amount of money ($)
0 41
5 66
10 91
15 116

What is the equation in slope-intercept form that represents the total amount of money Stephen has?

Y=mx+b
ok, so notice that b is constant, doesn't change, when x=0, then y=b
that is the starting value

it is stated that he has 41 at the begining so

y=mx+41

alright
so we are also given
when x=5, y=66
so find m
66=5m+41
miinus 41 from both sides
25=5m
divide both sides by 5
5=m

the equation is
y=5x+41

9966 [12]

She will have to pay $2,700.

She is starting with a bill of $11,000. If we subtract the 1500 grant and 5000 scholarship, she has left a bill of 4500.

She is going to earn 40% of it, so she still have to pay 60% of it.

0.6 x 4500 = 2700

$\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}$

<u>Let us assume that:</u>

$\sf \longmapsto x = \sqrt{6 + \sqrt{6 + \sqrt{6 + ... \infty } } }$

We can also write it as:

$\sf \longmapsto x = \sqrt{6 + x }$

Squaring both sides, we get:

$\sf \longmapsto {x}^{2} =6 + x$

$\sf \longmapsto {x}^{2} - x - 6 =0$

By splitting the middle term:

$\sf \longmapsto {x}^{2} - 3x + 2x - 6 =0$

$\sf \longmapsto x(x - 3) + 2(x - 3 ) =0$

$\sf \longmapsto (x+ 2)(x - 3 ) =0$

<u>Therefore:</u>

$\longmapsto\begin{cases} \sf (x+ 2) =0 \\ \sf (x - 3) = 0 \end{cases}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = - 2,3$

<u>But x cannot be negative. </u>

$\sf \longmapsto x = 3$

Therefore, the value of the expression is 3.

$\large\underline{\sf{Verification-}}$

Given:

$\sf\longmapsto x=3$

We can also write it as:

$\sf\longmapsto x = \sqrt{9}$

$\sf\longmapsto x = \sqrt{6+3}$

$\sf\longmapsto x = \sqrt{6 + \sqrt{9}}$

$\sf\longmapsto x = \sqrt{6 + \sqrt{6+3}}$

$\sf\longmapsto x = \sqrt{6 + \sqrt{6+\sqrt{9}}}$

$\sf\longmapsto x = \sqrt{6 + \sqrt{6+\sqrt{6+3}}}$

This pattern will continue.

$\sf\longmapsto x = \sqrt{6 + \sqrt{6+\sqrt{6+...\infty}}}$
