Answer:

Let the x = # of pies Larry ate

Jesse ate 2x-5 pies

Total = 16

Your equation is:

x + (2x-5)=16

3x-5=16

3x=21

x = 7

Larry ate 7 pies.

Which is f(5) for the function -2x2 + 2x - 3?
Schach [20]

The value of f(5) is -37

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given function is:</u></em>

f(x) = -2x^2+2x+3

We have to find the value of f(5)

To find the value of f(5), we have to substitute x is equal to 5 in given function

Plug in x = 5 in f(x)

f(x) = -2x^2+2x+3\\\\f(5) = -2(5)^2+2(5) + 3\\\\\text{Simplify the above expression }\\\\f(5) = -2(25) + 10 + 3\\\\\text{Solve the above expression }\\\\f(5) = -50 + 10 + 3\\\\f(5) = -40 + 3 = -37

Thus value of f(5) is -37

Suppose a certain outlet chain selling appliances has found that for one brand of stereo system, the monthly demand is 240 when
Doss [256]

Answer: Therefore the demand function can be given as;

q = -3/2p + 1590

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that at;

$900 the monthly demand is 240. ....1

$850 the monthly demand is 315. ....2

Since, the function is a linear function. The demand function would be of the form;

q = mp + c ....5

Where q = quantity demanded

p = price m = slope and c = intercept

Substituting conditions 1 and 2 to the equation.

240 = 900m + c. ...3

315 = 850m+ c ...4

Subtracting eqn 4 from 3

-75 = 50m

m = -75/50

m = -3/2

Substituting m = -3/2 into equation 3;

We have,

240= -3/2(900) + c

c = 240 + 3/2(900)

c = 1590

Therefore the demand function can be given as; substituting m and c into equation 5, we have;

q = -3/2p + 1590
