Answer: c(x) = $50*x + $24

Step-by-step explanation:

First, this situation can be modeled with a linear equation like:

c(x) = s*x + b

where c is the cost, s is the slope, x is the number of cubic yards of mulch bought, and b is the y-intercept ( a constant that no depends on the number x)

Then we know that:

The company charges $50 per cubic yard, so the slope is $50

A delivery charge of $24, this delivery charge does not depend on x, so this is the y-intercept.

Then our equation is:

c(x) = $50*x + $24

This is:

"The cost of buying x cubic yards of mulch"

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x + 1?

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

$f^{-1} = \frac{x-1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) = 2x+1$

Replace it with y

$y = 2x+1$

Exchange the values of x and y

$x = 2y+1$

Solve for y

$x = 2y+1$

Subtracting 1 from both sides

$2y = x-1$

Dividing both sides by 2

$y = \frac{x-1}{2}$

Replace it by $f^{-1}$

So,

$f^{-1} = \frac{x-1}{2}$

Robin baked 702 cookies.He sold them in boxes of 18. After selling all of the boxes of cookies for the same amount each, he earn

loris [4]

Answer:

cost of a box is $3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

sold box = 18

earned = $136.50

solution

we consider here number of boxes of cookies is x

and

for we get Tyler sold cookies box so number of boxes we divide 702 cookies among 18 is

Tyler sold = $\frac{702}{18}$

Tyler sold = 39 boxes

and

now we consider here y as cost of each box of cookies,

so for cost or sale price of the cookie boxes here we divided 136.50 dollars among 39 boxes

cost of each box = $\frac{136.5}{39}$

cost of each box = 3.5

Thus, the cost of each box was 3.5

Answer:

The second option

Step-by-step explanation:

On the right hand side you have all the multiples of 4, on the left hand side you have 5

The multiples of four are ...,-8,-4,0,4,8,....

so the simbol that means that 5 is not an element of the multiples of four is the second option.
