Rita makes and sells necklaces. The materials to make each necklace cost $2.75. Last week she made 8 necklaces and wants to make

a total profit of $78. Using the equation 8 (x + 2.75) = 78, Rita determined that she needs to sell each necklace for $7 to make a total profit of $78. Which error did Rita make?

Answer:

The error she made was that she was adding x and 2.75. She should subtract 2.75 from x.

Another mistake that she made was that she sold each for $7 assuming that she would make a profit of 78, but she should see each necklace for $12.5 so that she could make a profit of $78.

Step-by-step explanation:

The error she made was that she was adding x and 2.75.

She should write the equation as 8 (x - 2.75) = 78; as she spends $2.75 to make a necklace.

By using the correct equation: 8 (x - 2.75) = 78

=> 8x - 22 = 78

=> 8x = 78 + 22

=> 8x = 100

=> x = 100/8

=> x = 12.5

Another mistake that she made was that she sold each for $7 assuming that she would make a profit of 78, but she should see each necklace for $12.5 so that she could make a profit of $78.

Hope this helps you.

F(x)=5x^4 helllllpppppp
Marina CMI [18]

we can use properties of functions to find this out


for f(x)=ax^b


if b is even, then the ends of the function go in the same directions (both up or both down)

if b is odd, then the ends of the function go in different directions (one up and one down)


if a is positive and b is even, then both ends point up

if a is positve and b is odd, then it goes from bottom left to top right

if a is negative and b is even, then both ends point down

if a is negative and b is odd, then it goes from top left to bottom right


given f(x)=5x^4

a=5>0

b=4 which is even

so it has both ends pointing up

bottom right graph is yo answer
