Plug in - 5 where X is.

f(- 5) = (- 5)^2 - ( - 5).

(- 5)( - 5) = 25 so now we have 25 - (- 5). Because there are two negatives back to back, the number becomes a positive so the equation becomes 25 + 5 = 30. 

f(- 5) = 30.

The science club at Jersey High School is sponsoring a dance to raise money for their spring project. They will charge $4 per st
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer: 195

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost per student = $4

Total number who attended = n

The cost of the total of student who attended will be cost per student multiplied by the total number of students, that is

Total cos = 4n

Since, they are to pay $140 , for publicity, then the total cost becomes

T = 4n - 140

From the last statement

4n - 140 ≥ 640

4n ≥ 640 + 140

4n ≥780

n ≥ 780/4

n ≥ 195

That means at least 195 students must attend if the science club is to earn at least $ 640

The Jackson family went out to dinner. The price of the meal was $43.45. The sales tax was 7% of the price of the meal. The tip
brilliants [131]

Answer: 53.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Tax = 7% of 43.45 = 3.04

Tip = 15% of (3.04 + 43.45) = 6.91

Total = 43.45 + 3.04 + 6.91

Sal's Sandwich Shop sells wraps and sandwiches as part of its lunch specials. The profit on every sandwich is $2 and the profit
Virty [35]
Hence it is a simply rearrangement of the equation to start with, in order to make  the subject:






This is the graph in 'slope-intercept' form. From here it is easy to see that gradient  = and that y-intercept = 490.

The easiest way to draw a straight-line graph, such as this one, is to plot the y-intercept, in this case (0, 490), then plot another point either side of it at a fair distance (for example substitute  = -5 and  = 5 to procure two more sets of co-ordinates). These can be joined up with a straight line to form a section of the graph, which would otherwise extend infinitely either side - use the specified range in the question for x-values, and do not exceed it (clearly here the limit of -values is 0 ≤ x ≤ 735, since neither x nor y can be negative within the context of the question - the upper limit was found by substituting  = 0).

In function notation, the graph is:



The graph of this function represents how the value of the function varies as the value of x varies. Looking back at the question context, this graph specifically represents how many wraps could have been sold at each number of sandwich sales, in order to maintain the same profit of $1470.

When the profit is higher, the gradient is not changed (this is defined by the relationship between the $2 and $3 prices, not the overall profit) - instead the -intercept is higher:






Therefore we have gleaned that the new y-intercept is.

Clearly I cannot see the third straight line. However the method for finding the equation of a straight line graph is fairly simple:

1. Select two points on the line and write down their coordinates
2. The gradient of the line = 
3. Find the change in  (Δ
4. Find the change in  (Δ
5. Divide the result of stage 3 by the result of stage 4
6. This is your gradient
7. Take one of your sets of coordinates, and arrange them in the form , where your  is the gradient you just calculated
8. There is only one variable left, which is  (the y-intercept). Simply solve for this
9. Now generalise the equation, in the form , by inputting your gradient and y-intercept whilst leaving the coordinates as  and 

For example if the two points were (1, 9) and (4, 6):

Δ = 6 - 9 = -3
Δ = 4 - 1 = 3
 =  = -1
I choose the point (4, 6)
6 = (-1 * 4) + c
6 = c - 4
c = 10
Therefore, generally, 

Within the context of the question, I imagine the prices of the two lunch specials will be the same in the third month and hence the gradient will still be  - this means steps 1-6 can be omitted. Furthermore if the axes are clearly labelled, you may even be able to just read off the y-intercept and hence dispose with steps 1-8!

Mr. Bernard needs to order boxes for his 18-inch diameter "Super Pizza."
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

a) Circumference of the circle = 56.52 in

b) Area of the circle = 254.34 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Bernard needs to order boxes for his 18-inch diameter "Super Pizza."

Note that:

Pizza is Circular in shape

a) What is the approximate circumference of the Super Pizza? Use 3.14 for π. Show your work.

The formula for the circumference of a circle when given that diameter = πD

Where D = Diameter of the circle = 18 in

π = 3.14

Hence,

Circumference of the circle = 3.14 × 18 in

= 56.52 in

b) What is the approximate area of the Super Pizza? Use 3.14 for π. Show your work.

The formula for the area of a circle = πr²

Radius = Diameter/2

Diameter = 18 in

Radius = 18 in/2 = 9 in

The area of the circle = 3.14 × 9²

= 254.34 in²
