Answer:
M' is {-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 3, 5, 6}
Step-by-step explanation:
-- They're losing employees . . . so you know that the line will slope down, and
its slope is negative;
-- They're losing employees at a steady rate . . . so you know that the slope is
the same everywhere on the line; this tells you that the graph is a straight line.
I can see the function right now, but I'll show you how to go through the steps to
find the function. I need to point out that these are steps that you've gone through
many times, but now that the subject pops up in a real-world situation, suddenly
you're running around in circles with your hair on fire screaming "What do I do ?
Somebody give me the answer !".
Just take a look at what has already been handed to you:
0 months . . . 65 employees
1 month . . . . 62 employees
2 months . . . 59 employees
You know three points on the line !
(0, 65) , (1, 62) , and (2, 59) .
For the first point, 'x' happens to be zero, so immediately
you have your y-intercept ! ' b ' = 65 .
You can use any two of the points to find the slope of the line.
You will calculate that the slope is negative-3 . . . which you
might have realized as you read the story, looked at the numbers,
and saw that they are <u>firing 3 employees per month</u>.
("Losing" them doesn't quite capture the true spirit of what is happening.)
So your function ... call it ' W(n) ' . . . Workforce after 'n' months . . .
is <em>W(n) = 65 - 3n</em> .
Answer:
x = 4
y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use substitution, elimination, or graphically.
Step 1: Rearrange first equation
2x + 4y = -4
2x = -4 - 4y
x = -2 - 2y
Step 2: Rewrite systems of equations
x = -2 - 2y
3x + 5y = -3
Step 3: Substitution
3(-2 - 2y) + 5y = -3
-6 - 6y + 5y = -3
-6 - y = -3
-y = 3
y = -3
Step 4: Find <em>x</em> using <em>y</em>
2x + 4(-3) = -4
2x - 12 = -4
2x = 8
x = 4
Graphically:
Use a graphing calc and analyze where the 2 lines intersect.
Answer:
<em>123 </em>cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
He got 9*13 cookies, and had 6 already, so 9*13 + 6
9*13 = 117, plus 6 is 123
