Answer:

  • 490 pens
  • 510 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the number of pens Nick sold. Then the revenue is ...

  0.10p +0.05(1000 -p) = 74.50

  0.05p = 24.50 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses, subtract 50

  p = 490 . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 20

The number of pencils sold is then ...

  pencils = 1000 -490 = 510

Nick's Printing Press sold 490 pens and 510 pencils.

What is the range of the function f(x) = |x| – 3?
Likurg_2 [28]
Why not draw the graph of y=|x|?  It has a v-shape, and the vertex is at (0,0).

The graph of f(x) = |x| - 3 looks exactly the same, EXCEPT that the whole graph of |x| is shifted 3 units downward.  The smallest value that y can have is therefore -3.

Can you now figure out the range of f(x)?
