To answer this problem, let p be the price of each scrub. The total bill (t) is the sum of the price of the potting soil (s) and of the 9 scrubs (n). This is depicted in the equation,
$11.50 + 9p = $94.75
The value of p from the equation is 9.25. Thus, each scrub costs $9.25. The answer is letter C.

Let

p---------> the price of each scrub

s----------> the price of the potting soil

T--------> total bill

we know that

$T=9p+s$

in this problem

$T=\$94.75\\ s=\$11.50\\p=?$

<u>substitute the values in the formula above </u>

$\$94.75=9p+\$11.50$

solve for p

$9p=94.75-11.50$

$9p=83.25$

$p=9.25$

therefore

<u>the answer is the option C</u>

$\$94.75=9p+\$11.50$

$p=9.25$

Which statement correctly explains whether or not the values in the table represent a function of x

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A relation is said to be a function when each input value (x-value) show a distinct output value (y-value).

From the table attached,

For input value x = 0, there are multiple values of output values (y = -2, -1, 0, 1, -2).

Therefore, data given in the table doesn't represent a function.

Mikayla is a waitress who makes a guaranteed $50 per day in addition to tips of 20% of all her weekly customer receipts, t. She

notsponge [240]

Answer:

D. $f(t)=300+0.20t$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Mikayla is a waitress who makes a guaranteed $50 per day.

Since Miklaya works 6 days per week, so the guaranteed income for one week would be $\$50\times 6=\$300$

We are also told that she gets tips of 20% of all her weekly customer receipts, t. So amount earned from tips would be 20% of t, that is $\frac{20}{100}t=0.20t$ .

Total amount earned in one week would be guaranteed income for 1 week plus 20% of t:

$300+0.20t$

Therefore, our required function is $f(t)=300+0.20t$ and option D is the correct choice.

The function a(1) =1/2I^2 describes the area of an isosceles right triangle with leg I. Make a table of values for I=1,2,3 and 4

prohojiy [21]

Functions can be represented using equations, graphs and tables.

The function is given as:

$a(l) = \frac 12 l^2$

When l = 1, we have:

$a(1) = \frac 12 \times 1^2$

$a(1) = 0.5$

When l = 2, we have:

$a(2) = \frac 12 \times 2^2$

$a(2) = 2.0$

When l = 3, we have:

$a(3) = \frac 12 \times 3^2$

$a(3) = 4.5$

When l = 4, we have:

$a(4) = \frac 12 \times 4^2$

$a(4) = 8.0$

Represent the above results as a table, we have:

<u>l a(l)</u>

1 0.5

2 2.0

3 4.5

4 8.0

The coefficient of first term of a polynomial written in standard (descending order) form is called the ____ coefficient ?

Black_prince [1.1K]

We know that
<span>
1) The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its terms</span>
<span>2) The leading term in a polynomial is the highest degree term</span>
<span>3) The leading coefficient of a polynomial is the coefficient of the leading term</span>
Therefore

The coefficient of first term of a polynomial written in standard (descending order) form is the coefficient of the leading term, thus is called the leading coefficient.

the answer is
The leading coefficient<span> </span>
