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

What are the transformations to this quadratic function y= (x+4) power of 2 - 8
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Horizontal shift of 4 units to the left.

Vertical translation of 8 units downward.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic function, y = (x + 4)² - 8, which represents the horizontal and vertical translations of the parent graph, y = x²:

The vertex form of the quadratic function is y = a(x - h)² + k

Where:

The vertex is (h , k), which is either the <u>minimum</u> (upward facing graph) or <u>maximum</u> (downward-facing graph).

The axis of symmetry occurs at <em>x = h</em>.

<em>a</em> =  determines whether the graph opens up or down, and makes the graph wider or narrower.

<em>h</em> = determines how far left or right the parent function is translated.

<em>k</em> = determines how far up or down the parent function is translated.

Going back to your quadratic function,

          y = (x + 4)² - 8

  • The vertex occrs at (-4, -8)
  • a is assumed to have a value of 1.
  • Given the value of <em>h</em> = -4, then it means that the graph shifted horizontally by <u>4 units to the left</u>.  
  • Since k = -8, then it implies that the graph translated vertically at <u>8 units downward</u>.

How do you use the order of operations to simplify expressions with exponents
yaroslaw [1]
It could be PEMDAS.
That means solve by this order:
1). Parenthesis
2). Exponents
3). Multiplication
4). Division
5). Addition
6). Subtraction

To remember the order they say it like

Answer:

2x+23

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a triangle is calculated by adding the sum of all sides.

Therefore, in the given problem, the perimeter will be:

Perimeter = 21-x + 2x-3 + x+5

= 2x+23

Which of the following is the definition of y-intercept? the value where the line crosses the x-axis the value where the line cr
Trava [24]

Answer:the value where the line crosses the y axis

Step-by-step explanation:

its crossing through the y-axis not the x-axis because. The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis.  for example, you see the line cuts across the y-axis at -2. This makes our y-intercept -2.
