Answer:
step 1. A, B,D are incorrectly written as these are not all coordinates. they must be written (x, y)
step 2. so the question becomes is C a quadratic
step 3. The x values must be evenly spaced. the x values are evenly spaced by a difference of 4
step 4. write out the y values: -126, -14, 2, 18
step 5. write out the differences: 140, 16, 16
step 6. write out the differences: -124, 0.
step 7. after doing this twice the numbers nust be the same for this to be a quadratic which they aren't
step 8. C is not a quadratic.
Answer:
9/2
Step-by-step explanation:
in order to find the fraction form of 4.5... we need to set a denominator. The denominator has to be greater than 1 because we 4.5 is not a whole number...
we want the simplest denominator in the end... so we'll pick 2 for a denominator and change it if it doesn't work in the end...
now that we know the denominator... we have to make the numerator 4 times larger than the denominator (2)... when we do this... we get 8/2
since we made the numerator 4 times larger than the denominator... we know that 8/2 is the same as 4
now we need to find the remaining 1/2
this can be done by simply adding 1/2 to 8/2 (which is easily done thanks to a common denominator)
Since 9/2 cannot be simplified any further... it is our final answer
Let's begin ! ^_^
You have got informations in your problem that you just have to translate in a "mathematic language".
Company A :
"$40 membership fee and $2 per video stream."
Thanks to that, you can guess :
c = 40 + 2s
Now let's do the same thing to the company B.
Company B :
"charges a one-time $20 membership fee and $4 per video stream."
Therefore, c = 20 + 4s.
I think you have guessed !! =D And yes the system of equation that you have to solve and you're looking for is :
{c=40+2s ( Option B)
c=20+4s.
Second step : For how many video streams will the cost be the same for both companies?
We just have to solve the system :) And there is only one variable, the letter "s".
We know that we have to find equal costs as it is said in the question " the cost be the same for both companies", so :
=> 40 + 2s = 20 +4s
=> 4s - 2s = 40 - 20
=> 2s = 20
=> s = 20/2
=> s = 10
Verification :
Company A :
=> 40 + 2s = 40 + 2*10 = 40 + 20 =60.
Company B :
=> 20 + 4s = 20 + 4*10 = 20 + 40 = 60
As you have seen, the costs are the same for both companies.
We can say that as a conclusion for 10 video streams, the cost will be the same for both companies.
In short, the answer would be : 10.
Let me give you an advice : Usually the word "per" means a multiplication is the mathematic language.
Hope this helps !
