<span>Using the points (2, 45) (4, 143) and (10, 869), we can plug them into the following system of 3 equations using the y = ax^2 + bx + c format:

45 = a(2)^2 + b(2) + c
143 = a(4)^2 + b(4) + c
869 = a(10)^2 + b(10) + c

which simplifies to:

45 = 4a + 2b + c
143 = 16a + 4b + c
869 = 100a + 10b + c

Solving the system, we get a = 9, b = -5, and c = 19. Thus the equation is:

c(x) = 9x^2 - 5x + 19

If you have a TI graphing calculator, you can also enter the points by pressing Stat -> Edit and enter (2, 45) (4, 143) and (10, 869) into it. Go back and calculate the QuadReg of the points from the Calc tab and it will give you the same answer.

Now that we know the function that will produce the price of production for any number of calculators, plug in x = 7 and it will give you the price to produce 7 calculators.

c(x) = 9x^2 - 5x + 19
==> c(7) = 9(7)^2 - 5(7) + 19
==> c(7) = 441 - 35 + 19
==> c(7) = 425

Therefore, it costs $425 to produce 7 calculators.

Hope this helps.

How do you determine a function if a relation is a function <br>​
ira [324]

Answer:

Hello! A function is easily identified when an x value does not have more than 1 y value. a y value can have as many x values to infinity, but x can only have one y.

Example...

x                       y

3                       5

4                       5

What is the difference between a two step equation and a multi-step equation?
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

When solving a multi step equation, you use PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, add, subtract), and you also use PEMDAS when solving a multi step inequality. However, inequalities are tricky in the fact that if you multiply or divide by a negative number, you must flip the sign. And while normally there are 1 or 2 solutions to a multi step equation, in the form of x= #, you'll have the same thing, but with an inequality sign (or signs).

A two-step equation is an algebraic equation that takes you two steps to solve. You've solved the equation when you get the variable by itself, with no numbers in front of it, on one side of the equal sign.

hope it helped

You and two friends rent a hotel room that costs $30 so you both put in $10 each later that night the owner of the hotel realize
Gennadij [26K]
The dollar didn't go anywhere! The question isn't correct because the money the bellhop stole is supposed to be subtracted, not added. So if we subtract $2 we have $25, and that's how much money the owner got, the men got $3 back and the bellboy got $2.

So the owner gets $25, the men get $3 and the bellboy gets $2, and that equals 30.

JJill begins the summer with $500 in her savings account. Each week, she withdraws $20. Her brother, Sam,starts the summer with
meriva

Answer:

7th week

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent the number of weeks as x

Jill begins the summer with $500 in her savings account. Each week, she withdraws $20.

$500 - $20× x

500 - 20x

Her brother, Sam,starts the summer with $150 in his account. He adds $30 to his account each week.

$150 + $30 × x

150 + 30x

At what week will both Jill and Sam have the same amount in their account?

We solve this be Equating both Equations together

Jill = Sam

500 - 20x = 150 + 30x

Collect like terms

500 - 150 = 30x + 20x

350 = 50x

Divide both sides by 50

50x/50 = 350/50

x = 7 weeks

Therefore, at the 7 week, Jill and sam would have the same amount in their accounts
