The function f (x) = .85x+3.99 models the total cost of purchasing x key chains from an internet company that charges shipping t

he function g (x) = 1.10x models the total purchasing of x number of the same key chains from an company that does not charge shipping. Rounding to the nearest whole number what is the best approximation of the number of key chains for which the two companies charge the same amount?

Answer:

16 key chains

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x) = 0.85x + 3.99$ ---company A

$g(x) = 1.10x$ --- company B

Required

Value of x when $f(x) = g(x)$

We have:

$f(x) = g(x)$

$0.85x + 3.99 = 1.10x$

Collect like terms

$0.85x - 1.10x = -3.99$

$-0.25x = -3.99$

Solve for x

$x = \frac{-3.99}{-0.25}$

$x = 15.96$

$x= 16$ --- approximated

A rectangle has a width of 5 yd and a length of 9 yd.

Yuri [45]

Answer:

Option The area is increased by a factor of $16$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to scale factor squared

Let

z-----> the scale factor

x------> the area of the dilated rectangle

y------> the area of the original rectangle

$z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=4$ ------> is an enlargement

so

substitute

$4^{2}=\frac{x}{y}$

$16=\frac{x}{y}$

$x=16y$

therefore

The area is increased by a factor of $16$

Which equation represents y = −x2 + 6x + 7 in vertex form? y = −(x + 3)2 + 4 y = −(x − 3)2 + 10 y = −(x + 3)2 + 2 y = −(x − 3)2

Colt1911 [192]

$\text{The vertex form:}\ y=a(x-h)^2+k\\\\f(x)=ax^2+bx+c\to h=\dfrac{-b}{2a},\ k=f(h)\\\\\text{We have}\ y=-x^2+6x+7\to f(x)=-x^2+6x+7\\\\a=-1,\ b=6,\ c=7\\\\h=\dfrac{-6}{2(-1)}=\dfrac{-6}{-2}=3\\\\k=f(3)=-3^2+6(3)+7=-9+18+7=16\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{y=-(x-3)^2+16}$

When 2(3/5 x + 2/3 y - 1/4 x -1 1/2 y + 3 )is simplified, what is the resulting expression?

vovangra [49]

Answer:

Simplifying the expression: $2(\frac{3}{5}x+\frac{2}{3}y-\frac{1}{4}x-1\frac{1}{2}y +3)$ we get $\mathbf{42x-100y-360}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to simplify the expression: $2(\frac{3}{5}x+\frac{2}{3}y-\frac{1}{4}x-1\frac{1}{2}y +3)$

First we will solve terms inside the bracket

$2(\frac{3}{5}x+\frac{2}{3}y-\frac{1}{4}x-1\frac{1}{2}y +3)$

Converting mixed fraction $1\frac{1}{2} y$ into improper fraction, we get: $\frac{3}{2}y$

Replacing the term:

$2(\frac{3}{5}x+\frac{2}{3}y-\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{3}{2}y +3)$

Now, taking LCM of: 5,3,4,2 we get 60

Now multiply 60 with each term inside the bracket

$2(\frac{3}{5}x\times60+\frac{2}{3}y\times60-\frac{1}{4}x\times60-\frac{3}{2}y\times60 +3\times60)\\2(3x\times12+2y\times20-1x\times15-3x\times30-3\times60)\\2(36x+40y-15x-90y-180)$

Now, combine like terms

$2(36x-15x-90y+40y-180)\\2(21x-50y-180)$

Now, multiply all terms with 2

$42x-100y-360$

So, Simplifying the expression: $2(\frac{3}{5}x+\frac{2}{3}y-\frac{1}{4}x-1\frac{1}{2}y +3)$ we get $\mathbf{42x-100y-360}$
