Answer:

Yes, John did write his systems of equations correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

FedEx charges him a flat rate of $5, so the 5 stands alone in the problem, and $0.50 per pound, so the 0.5 stands with the x because it represents each pound.

UPS doesn't charge him a flat rate so there is no stand-alone number. Since they charge $2 per pound, 2 is with the x, again representing each pound.

Answer:

2. The y-intercept of the function is $60

3. The function can be represented by the equation y = (1/10)x +60.

5. The range is y ≥ 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The function of the yearly cost in dollars, y, based on x, the number of game tokens is:

y=\frac{1.00}{10}x+60\\ y=0.10x+60

1.  The slope of the function is $1.00.

The slope of the function is the cost per token, if 10 tokens cost $1.00, than the slope of the function is $0.10. This statement is incorrect.

2. The y-intercept of the function is $60

The y-intercept is the value of y for which x = 0 (If no tokens are bought). In this case, that would be the single membership cost, which is $60. This statement is correct.

3. The function can be represented by the equation y = (1/10)x +60.

As previously mentioned, this equation is correct since it represents the membership cost plus the cost of each token multiplied by the number of tokens bought.

4. The domain is all real numbers

Real numbers include fractions and negative values, which cannot be a possible value for x. Therefore, the actual domain is all natural numbers (non-negative integers). This statement is incorrect.

5. The range is y ≥ 60

The range is all of the possible values of y. The minimum value is the cost of membership with no tokens ($60), and there is no maximum value since infinite tokens could be bought theoretically. This statement is correct.

The Wolfpack has won 11 games and lost 9 games this season. What percent of its games did the Wolfpack win?
defon
First, you need to find the total amount of games played by adding 11 and 9
11 + 9 = 20
Now you have to divide 11 by 20. If you wanted to find the percent of games lost, you would divide 9 by 20.
11 \div 20
answer: 55%
