Answer:

-1/2 or x=2

Step-by-step explanation: The first step you need to do in getting your answer is factoring ,you will factor the left side of the equation first:

(2x+1)(x-2)=0

Next, you will set the factors to equal to "0":

2x+1=0 x-2=0

Then you'll proceed to solve the problem using the basic algebraic equation problem solving steps .When you do this you'll be left with answers of x=-1/2 and x=2

If Y varies directly as X and Y= 79 when X= 49, Find Y if X = 9

ryzh [129]

Answer:

y = 14.5

Step-by-step explanation:

given that y varies directly as x

mathematically,

y ∝ x

y = kx .............................................. where k is the constant of proportionality.

k = y /x

given that

y = 79

x = 49

k = 79/49

k = 1.61

to find y when x = 9

from

y = kx

y = 1.61 × 9

y = 14.5

therefore the value of y when x = 9 in ths variation is evaluated to be equals to 14.5

The cost in dollars of making x items is given by the function C(x)=10x+900 .

Stella [2.4K]

For the given cost equation we have:

a) Fixed cost is $900.

b) For making 25 items the cost is $1150.

c) D: x ∈ [0, 150]

R: c ∈ [900, 2400]

<h3>Working with the cost equation.</h3>

Here we know that the cost equation is:

c(x) = 10*x + 900.

First, we want to get the fixed cost, it is given by evaluating the function in x = 0.

c(0) = 10*0 + 900 = 900

The fixed cost is 900.

b) Now we want to get the cost for making 25 items, to get this, we just evaluate in x = 25.

c(25) = 10*25 + 900 = 250 + 900 = 1150

c) Now, if the maximum cost is 2400, then the maximum number of items that we can make is x₀, such that:

c( x₀) = 2400 = 10*x₀ + 900

Solving for x₀ we get:

x₀ = (2400 - 900)/10 = 150

Now we want to get the range and domain.

We know that we can make between 0 and 150 items, so the domain is:

D: x ∈ [0, 150]

For the range, we know that the fixed cost for 0 items is 900, and the maximum cost is 2400, then the range is:

R: c ∈ [900, 2400]

What is your sister’s total cost under each of the two plans?2. Suppose your sister doubles her monthly usage to 3,500 minutes a

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

(1) The total cost under Plan A is <u>$92</u> and the total cost under Plan B is <u>$515</u>.

(2) The total cost under Plan A is <u>$92</u> and the total cost under Plan B is <u>$1,030</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question is incomplete, so the complete question is below:</em></u>

$A\ cell \ phone \ company\ offers\ two \ different \ plans.$

$Plan\ A\ costs\ \$92\ per\ month\ for\ unlimited\ talk\ and\ text.\ Plan\ B\ costs \ $0.20\ per\ minute\ plus\ \$0.10\ per\ text\ message\ sent.$ $You\ need \ to\ purchase \ a \ plan \ for\ your \ 14-year-old \ sister$ $.Your\ sister\ currently \ uses\ 1,750 \ minutes\ and \ sends\ 1,650 \ texts\ each \ month.$ $(1) What\ is\ your \ sister's\ total\ cost\ under \ each\ of\ the\ two\ plans?$

$(2) Suppose\ your\ sister\ doubles\ her\ monthly\ usage \ to\ 3,500\ minutes \ and\ sends\ 3,300 \ texts.$ $What \ is \ your \ sister's \ total \ cost \ under \ each \ of \ the \ two \ plans?$

Now, to find (1) total cost for each of the two plans. (2) Total cost under each of the two plans, if sister doubles her monthly usage to 3,500 minutes and sends 3,300 texts.

As, the Plan A is for unlimited talk and text

Cost of the Plan A = $92.

<u><em>Now, to find the cost under Plan B:</em></u>

According to question:

Rate of call per minute is $0.20 and per text is $0.10.

Calls she uses currently is 1,750 minutes and text 1,650.

$0.20\times 1750+0.10\times 1650$

$=350+165$

$=515.$

Thus, Plan B costs $515.

<u><em>Now, to get the total cost as, sister doubles her monthly usage to 3,500 minutes and sends 3,300 texts.</em></u>

As, the Plan A is same in both cases and is for unlimited text and calls.

So, cost of Plan A = $92.

As, the monthly usage is double.

Calls in minutes are 3,500.

Texts are 3,300.

<u><em>Now, to get the total cost under Plan B:</em></u>

$0.20\times 3500+0.10\times 3300$

$=700+330$

$=1030.$

Hence, the cost of Plan B = $1,030.

Therefore, (1) The total cost under Plan A is $92 and the total cost under Plan B is $515.

(2) The total cost under Plan A is $92 and the total cost under Plan B is $1,030.

A card is randomly chosen from the cards in the image. Find the probability of choosing the cards with either Q or R on them.

Afina-wow [57]

The probability of choosing cards either Q or R when a card is drawn from a deck of 8 cards is 0.25.

Given that a card is randomly chosen from 8 cards shown in figure.

We have to calculate the probability of choosing either Q or R when a card is drawn from those 8 cards.

Probability means calculating the likeliness of happening an event among all the events possible. It lies between 0 and 1. It cannot be negative.

Number of cards=8

Number of repeated cards=0

Number of cards showing Q and R =1 each.

Probability of getting Q or R is P(X=Q)+P(X=R)

= 1/8+1/8

=2/8

=1/4

=0.25

Hence the probability of getting either P or Q when a card is drawn from 8 cards is 0.25.
