a.Write an expression for f(x)

b.What is a reasonable domain for this function?

c.What does f(20) mean in the context of this problem?

d.How much money do you earn if you sell 25 teddy bears in a week?

a. Remember that f(x) is the amount of money you earned each week. Also note that teddybears = x

<em>f(x) = 5x + 300</em> is your equation

5x + 300 is your expression

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

b. A reasonable domain can be 0 < x < 50, in which x is the amount you sell. 50 is a bit far out, but it takes into account holidays, as well as places you may sell at that have large amount of people.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

c. f(20) means that you sold 20 teddy bears, as 20 replaces x, which (like what was stated above) is the amount you sell

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

d. Plug in 25 for x.

5x + 300 = t (total amount you make)

5(25) + 300 = t

Remember to follow PEMDAS. First, multiply 5 with 25

5 x 25 = 125

Next, add

125 + 300 = t

t = 425

$425 is the amount you make in a week.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

e. Note that you make $425 if you sell 25 teddy bears. Also remember that you are paid a flat $300. Remember the formula:

f(x) = 5x + 300

Plug in 425 for f(x)

425 = 5x + 300

Isolate the x. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.

First, subtract 300 from both sides

425 (-300) = 5x + 300 (-300)

425 - 300 = 5x

125 = 5x

Next, divide 5 from both sides

(125)/5 = (5x)/5

x = 125/5

x = 25

25 teddy bears must be sold

Y= (x-9) (x+3)
juin [17]

Answer:

y = x² − 6x − 27

Step-by-step explanation:

To distribute, you can use something called FOIL.  It stands for First, Outer, Inner, Last.

First, multiply the First term in each factor.

x · x = x²

Now multiply the Outer terms in each factor.

x · 3 = 3x

Next multiply the Inner terms in each factor.

-9 · x = -9x

Finally, multiply the Last terms in each factor.

-9 · 3 = -27

Add them all up:

x² + 3x − 9x − 27

x² − 6x − 27

shutvik [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{20}{48}  \times  \frac{80}{44}

Divide the fraction with 4

\frac{20÷4}{48÷4} \times \frac{80÷4}{44÷4} = \frac{5}{12}  \times  \frac{20}{11}

Reduce the number with factor 4

\frac{5}{12÷4} \times \frac{20÷4}{11} = \frac{5}{3}   \times  \frac{5}{11}

Multiply the fractions

\frac{5 \times 5}{3 \times 11}  =  \frac{25}{33}

\boxed{\green{=  \frac{25}{33}  = 0.75}}
