Y = mx + b
slope(m) = -6
(-2,-3)...x = -2 and y = -3
now we sub....we r looking for b, the y int
-3 = -6(-2) + b
-3 = 12 + b
-3-12 = b
-15 = b
so ur equation is : y = -6x - 15
Question 1)
Given: F(x) = 3x^2 + 1, G(x) = 2x - 3, H(x) = x
F(G(x)) = 3(2x - 3)^2 + 1
F(G(x)) =3(4x^2 - 12x + 9) + 1
F(G(x)) = 12x^2 - 36x + 27 + 1
F(G(x)) =12x^2 - 36x + 28
Question 2)
Given: F(x) = 3x^2 + 1, G(x) = 2x - 3, H(x) = x
H -1 (x) = x (inverse)
<u>Information:</u>
Fixed Cost = $32,634
Variable Cost = $8.75 per book.
Selling Price = $24.50 per book.
<u>Define x:</u>
Let x be the number of books sold.
<u>Construct Equation:</u>
For production cost to be equal auto money from sales:
⇒ 24.5x = 32634 + 8.75x
<u>Solve x:
</u>
24.5x = 32634 + 8.75x
Take away 8.75x from both sides:
15.75x = 32634
Divide both sides by 15.75:
x = 2072
Answer: The publisher must sell 2072 books.
Answer:
y = 2/3x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The simpliest way to determine the slope of the line is to see the rise over run of the line. In this case, we are given two points which are at (0, -1) and (3,1)
By calculating rise of run, we can see that the starting point goes up by 2 units, from -1 to 1 and goes to the right 3 units, from 0 to 3
In this case, that means we have a slope of 2/3x.
The +b plays into the y-intercept of the line, which is actually the same of one of our points: (0,-1)
Since this number is a negative, it would actually be y = (2/3)x + (-1) which is the same as y=2/3x - 1
