Answer:
5. f(x) = 10,000 (1.5)^x
Step-by-step explanation:
We would have to multiply the original amount by 1.50^x because the initial amount would be 1, and 50% increase would be .5 so 1.5 and you raise it to the number of years to show the total increase.
Let's test it.
Initial:
10,000
After 1 year
10,000 + (.5*10000)
10,000 + 5000 = 15,000
After 2 years
15,000 + (.5*15000)
15,000 + 7500 = 22,500
Let's try our equation.
f(x) = 10,000 (1.5)^x
x = 2
10,000(1.5)^2
10,000(2.25) = 22,500
The same!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = x^2 - x - 2 is a quadratic function. It's easily factorable: y = (x + 1)(x - 2). Setting this result equal to zero yields the x-intercepts: -1 and 2. This matches the x-intercepts shown on the graph.
The axis of symmetry, x = -b/(2a), derived from the coefficients 1, -1 and -2 of this particular function, is x = 1/2. This x = 1/2 is also the x-coordinate of the vertex. To find the y-coordinate of the vertex, we evaluate y = x^2 - x - 2 at x = 1/2, obtaining:
y = (1/2)^2 - (1/2) - 2, or y = 1/4 - 1/2 - 2, or -2 1/4. This does not quite agree with the y value (-2) shown in the diagram, but is close.
Isolate x by adding 8 to both sides.
3 = x/3
Then, multiply by 3 on both sides.
9 = x
To prove that this is right, you can imput 9 into the equation and it equals -5.
G + d = 12....g = 12 - d
3g + 5d = 50
3(12 - d) + 5d = 50
36 - 3d + 5d = 50
-3d + 5d = 50 - 36
2d = 14
d = 14/2
d = 7
g + d = 12
g + 7 = 12
g= 12 - 7
g = 5
so he bought 5 pairs of gym socks (g) and 7 pairs of dress socks (d)
