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"

PLEASE HELP!! Write an equation of g(x) that represents an exponential base “e” parent function with the following transformatio

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

$g(x) = 12 {e}^{ - x - 7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The parent function is

$g(x) = e {}^{x}$

First it is asked to reflect over the y axis so using the rule

$g(x) = g( - x)$

Our function looks like

$g(x) = e {}^{ - x}$

Then we are asked to shift the equation to the right 7. When shifting to the right or move the x axis, instead of adding 7 we would want to subtract 7 since the x axis is the independent variable and we must respect the y axis which is the dependent so using the rule

$g(x) = g(x - h)$

When subtracting a 7 it looks like now

where h is the number we move . Now we are asked to apply a vertical stretch of 12. Since vertical stretch refers to the y axis, we are just going to multiply the function by 12 using the rule

$g(x) = a \times g(x)$

where a is the vertical stretch. So now it would look like

$g(x) = 12 {e}^{ - x - 7}$

To paint a house, a painting company charges a flat rate of 500 for supplies plus $50 for each hour of labor. What is the slope

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

slope = $50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the linear equation, y = mx + b:

The slope (m) is the rate of change for every<em> x </em>number of labor hours. What this implies is that whenever the input (x-value) or the number of labor hours increases or decreases, the value of y (total cost) will increase by the given slope value.

Slope: The painting company charges $50 for every 1 hour of labor.

The y-intercept (b) represents the flat rate or initial value. In the given problem, it states that the company charges $500 for supplies. This means that regardless of whether the company finishes working on the painting job, they will charge their customers the flat rate.

Combined, the linear equation will be:

y = 50x + 500

8. Solve the formula K = 3M - 7 for M

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

m = $\frac{k + 7}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

k = 3m - 7

k + 7 = 3m - 7 + 7

k + 7 = 3m

$\frac{k + 7}{3}$ = m

(I'm not 100% sure fyi)
