Answer:

The equation that models this scenario b(x)=(3+0.5x)(38-4x)

Step-by-step explanation:

First we convert 50 cent into dollar,

1 cent =\frac{1}{100} dollar

1 cent = 0.01 dollar

50 cent = 0.5 dollar

According to question,

x is the number of 50¢=$0.5 price increases.

b(x) is the revenue generated

He currently charges $3 per book.

i.e. price of book = 3+0.5x

Quantity or average = 38 per day

According to a study, for every 50¢ increase in rental price, the average business can expect to lose 4 rentals a day.

i.e. quantity became 38-4x

Revenue = Price × Quantity

The required equation is given by,

b(x)=(3+0.5x)(38-4x)

True or false this number is written in scientific notation? <br> .2486 x 10^12
Scilla [17]

Answer:

<h2>It Is True </h2>

It is true because scientific notation is a way of writing very large or very small numbers. A number is written in scientific notation when a number between 1 and 10 is multiplied by a power of 10. For example, 650,000,000 can be written in scientific notation as 6.5 ✕ 10^8.
