The instructor wants the profit to be positive, so
  f(n) > 0
  70n -400 > 0
  n - 400/70 > 0
  n > 5 5/7

The instructor must enroll at least 6 students to make a profit.

Answer:

6 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a function f(x)=70n-400 that models  the profit the instructor of guitar class per month, where n is the number of students enrolled in the class.

We can see that 400 represents the amount of fixed expenses to run the guitar class by instructor and 70 represents the amount charged by instructor per student.

To make an profit the amount collected from n students minus the fixed charges must be greater than 0. So we can set up an inequality to solve for n as:

70n-400>0

70n-400+400>0+400

70n>400

Dividing both sides of our inequality by 7- we will get,

\frac{70n}{70}>\frac{400}{70}

n>5.71428571

Since 0.714 of a students can not be enrolled, so we will round up our answer.

n>6

Therefore, 6 students must be enrolled in the class for the instructor to make a profit.

What group of numbers does -2 belong to?
Marizza181 [45]
Answer: Integers and Rational Numbers

Explanation: -2 is an integer because integers include positive an negative numbers. It would not be a whole number or a Naural number because both of those sets only include positive numbers. Here’s a better explanation:

Natural numbers: Natural Numbers are like (1,2,3....). They only include positive numbers. Therefore, -2 does not belong in this category.

Whole Numbers: Whole Numbers are like (0,1,2,3....). They include all the natural numbers with 0. Therefore, -2 does not belong in this set.

Integers: Integers include both positive and negative numbers. They are like (-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3....). Since they both have positive and negative numbers, -2 would belong in this set.

Rational Numbers: Rational Numbers include ALL the sets that were described. (Natural, Whole, Integer). Since this set also includes positive and negative numbers, -2 would belong in this set.

So, -2 belongs in Integers and Rational Numbers

Hope this helps!

Which tables represent constant functions?
Alona [7]

A function is a law that tells you how to associate inputs (x values) and outputs (y values).

In the case of constant functions, it doesn't matter which input you choose, the ouput must always be the same.

So, a constant function has always the same output (y values) for every input (x values) you feed.
