An audio books club charges an initial joining fee of $20.00. The cost per audio book is $15.00. The graph shows the cost of bel

onging to the club as a function of audio books purchased. How will the graph change if the cost per audio book goes up by $1.00?
(The new function is shown by the dotted line.)

Answer:

The graph will change by simply having an increased slope of 16 instead of 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we will consider the initial case as stated by the problem where the joining fee is $20 and each book is $15.  Let x represent the number of books that we have purchased.  Then, we can write the following function to represent the cost of this club.

f(x) = 15x + 20

Note, if x = 0, meaning we have no books, then

f(0) = 15(0) + 20

f(0) = 0 + 20

f(0) = 20

Which is the cost of our joining fee.  If x = 1, meaning we have 1 book, then

f(1) = 15(1) + 20

f(1) = 15 + 20

f(1) = 35

Which is the cost of our joining fee and 1 book, which matches our graphed function.

Now, let's consider that the cost of the book is $16 instead of $15 ("the cost per audio book goes up by $1.00").  Then we can modify the slope of our function to reflect this change giving us the new function:

g(x) = 16x + 20

In this new function, our slope increased from 15 to 16, to account for the increase in cost, but our initial 20 remained the same.

So the graph will change by simply having an increased slope of 16 instead of 15.

Cheers.

Answer:

The new function will have a steeper slope, so...

Step-by-step explanation:

Le: t  x ----> the number of audio books purchased

y ---->the cost of belonging to the club in dollars

case 1 (Originally) :

y = 15x + 20

<u>case 2 ( the cost per audio book goes up by $1.00) :</u>

y= (15+1)x+ 20

y = 16x + 20

The slope of the new function is greater than the slope of the original function    

<u> The new function will have a steeper slope:</u>

16  $/ audio book > 15 $/audio book

How would I graph this and find the solution to this system. <br> y=-1/2x+4
Lesechka [4]

Answer: Easy, graph and solution

Step-by-step explanation: First what you want to do  use the slope intercept form to find the slope and y intercept; -1/2 and y intercept (0,4). Any line can be graphed using 2 points. Select two x values, plug them into the equation to find the corresponding y values. Solution

1.) Step; x and y

Table:

             0║4

             8║0

  • All you had to do is divide 0=-x/2 +4= .  (8) For the x intercept you get 8and for y you get 4 because you divided  0=-0/2+4

What is the value of x -6/7=-x/84?
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

x = 72 / 85

Step-by-step explanation:

x -6/7=-x/84

x + x/84 = 6/7

84/84x + 1/84x = (12*6) / (12*7)

85/84x = ( 72 ) / ( 84 )

85/84x = 72 / 84

Multiply left and right from the = sign by 84/85 and you do that so you get a division ON THE LEFT SIDE that equals as 1... See how it works:

84/85 * { 85/84 } * x = 84/85 * { ( 72 ) / ( 84 ) }

{ (84 * 85) / ( 85 * 84) } * x = ( 84 * 72 ) / ( 85 * 84 )

(7140) / ( 7140) * x =. ( 6048 ) / ( 7140)

x = 6048 / 7140

x = 72 / 85

Given the equation y = 4x - 3.A) If x increases by 1 unit, what is the corresponding change in y? B) If x decreases by 5 units,
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

A) y will increase by 4 unit.

B) y will decrease by 20 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation that shows relation between x and y.

y=4x-3

A) If x is increased by 4 units

   New value of  y =  4(x+1)-3

                              =4x+4-3

                              =4x+1

So, change in y = new value of y- original value of y

                         =4x+1-(4x-3)

                          =4x+1-4x+3

                          =4

Thus, the value of y will be increased by 4 units.

B) If x is decreased by 5 units

   New value of  y =  4(x-5)-3

                              =4x-20-3

                              =4x-23

So, change in y = new value of y- original value of y

                         =4x+1-(4x-3)

                          =4x-23-(4x-3)

                          =4x-23-4x+3

                          = -20

Thus, the value of y will be decreased by 20 units.
