Let the price of flowers in September be x, then (100 + 20)/100 * x = $1.50
120/100 * x = $1.50
1.2x = $1.50
x = $1.50/1.2 = $1.25
The price of flowers in September is $1.25

Total money realised in September = $1.25 x 900 = $1,125
40% earned = 0.4 x $1,125 = $450

Total money realised in October = $1.50 x 700 = $1,050
40% earned = 0.4 x $1,050 = $420

The class earned more money in September and they earned $30 more than in October.

Find any points of discontinuity for the rational function. y=x-5/x^2-7x-8
kotegsom [21]
For discontinuity of the function:
x² - 7 x - 8 ≠ 0
x² - 8 x + x - 8 = 0
x ( x - 8 ) + ( x - 8 ) ≠ 0
( x - 8 ) ( x + 1 ) ≠ 0
The points of discontinuity are: x = - 1 and x = 8.
As for the Domain of the function:
x ∈ ( - ∞, - 1 ) ∪ ( - 1 , 8 ) ∪ ( 8, +∞ ).

N the function y = 12.00x + 50, y represents the cost of carpet by the square yard and x represents the number of square yards.
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The cost increase for each square of carpet by 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

y=12.00x+50

It is a slope intercept form of the line

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is y-intercept.

Therefore the slope of given function is 12 and the y-intercept is 50.

It means the initial ot fixed cost of the carpet is 50 and the cost increased by 12 for each square of carpet.

Examine the quadratic equation 9x^2+12x +4= 0.
mestny [16]

Answer:

See answers and explanations

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Discriminant = b² - 4ac = (12)² - 4(9)(4) = 144 - 144 = 0

B) Since the discriminant is 0, this means the equation only has one root.

C) The root is real in this case since the discriminant is not negative. Otherwise, we would have two imaginary roots if it were (remember that complex roots come in pairs)
