<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.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

<u><em>Alternate Exterior Angles</em></u> are created where a transversal crosses two lines.  Notice that the two alternate exterior angles are equal in measure if the two lines are parallel

In this problem

m\angle x=67^o ----> by alternate exterior angles

One way to verify alternate exterior angles is to see that they are the vertical angles of the alternate interior angles

3. What is the solution set of the equation 3x + 5) = x + 2?
Simora [160]
The solution set of 3x+5=x+2 is x=-1. This is because you want to get the variables on one side and the numbers on the other. you subtract x on both sides and subtract 5 on both sides. your equation then becomes 3x=-3. you then divide 3 on both sides and you get your answer of x=-1.
