You do 5 times x and -2 so you’d get 5x-10=7. Then add 10 to both sides to get 5x=17 and divide 17/5 to get 3.4

If the store currently charges a price of $50, then increases that price to $60, what happens to total revenue from shoe sales (

Goryan [66]

Answer:

<h2>Revenue will decrease</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: the question did not provide the quantity to work with, so we will assume some values, say quantity Q= 30

Generally, it is normal for the revenue to decrease when the price of a commodity increase, this is so that buyer will have to react to adjust to the change in price.

When price increase from $50 to $60, the total revenue will decrease

let say the quantity Q1=30 , and the new quantity after price increase is Q2=20

1. The revenue PxQ before price change will be

PxQ= P1xQ1=50*30

PxQ= $1500

1. The revenue PxQ after price change will be

PxQ=P2xQ2= 60*20

P2xQ2= $1200

This clearly shows that based on the assumed data, the total revenue will drop from1500 to 1200, a total of $300 in a decrease

What does the transformation f(x) --> -f(x) do to the graph of f(x)

mixer [17]

Answer: D) Reflect over x-axis

=======================================================

Explanation:

When we do this type of reflection, a point like (1,2) moves to (1,-2).

As another example, something like (5,-7) moves to (5,7)

The x coordinate stays the same but the y coordinate flips in sign from positive to negative, or vice versa.

We can say that $(x,y) \to (x,-y)$ as a general way to represent the transformation. Note how y = f(x), so when we make f(x) negative, then we're really making y negative.
