Answer:

M=\left\{\begin{matrix}0.4x &x\leq99 \\ 0.5x &x>100 \\ \end{matrix}\right.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Function modeling</u>

Real-life situations often require the help of mathematics to model numerically what happens when the variables involved can change. It could even be used to predict some expected outcomes from those models.

The problem states Janice receives $.40 per pound when he recycles less or equal than 99 pounds of aluminum. If x is the number of recycled pounds, then the amount of money he receives is

M=0.4x

We also know that if he recycles more than 100 pounds of aluminum, the pay increases to $0.5 per pound. In that case, the amount of money is

M=0.5x

This is a case where the function is defined differently depending on the conditions of the input variable x. It's called a piecewise function. The function can be written as

M=\left\{\begin{matrix}0.4x &x\leq99 \\ 0.5x &x>100 \\ \end{matrix}\right.

Note the function is not well constructed because there is a gap for x=100 where M is not defined. If we establish that for 100 pounds the payment is $0.5, then the second piece would include x=100

What is the area of this square?
Sergio [31]
<h3>Answer: D) 144 square cm</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

A square has all four sides that are the same length. So all four sides are 12 cm

area = side*side = 12*12 = 144 cm^2

Or you could say

area = (side)^2 = (12)^2 = 144 cm^2

Squaring a number is the same as multiplying it by itself. Hence the name "square" refers to a side length pairing up with its corresponding area value.

---------

Side note: The perimeter is 4*(side) = 4*12 = 48 cm. It's possible that choice B is put in there as a trick answer.
