Why might a mattress store choose to advertise new mattresses, worth $1,000, as $50 per week for 22 weeks?

$50 per week is more affordable to most people than $1000 up front. So the customer is more likely to buy it, and the store ends up 50*22 = $1100, so $100 more (which might seem worth it for the customer if they get to pay it over 22 weeks).

Some people might also be enticed by the low price of $50 and think its cheaper.

By doing so, they provide the illusion that the payments are cheaper then 1000 dollars, because 50 looks very small, when in reality it's $100 more then what the mattress is actually worth.

The function f(x) is represented by the table below. What are the corresponding values of g(x) for the transformation g(x) = 6f(
g100num [7]

Answer:

Given: The transformation g(x) =6f(x)                  ......[1]

To find the corresponding values of g(x) for the given transformation.

At x = -7, f(x) = 8

then,

By substituting the value of f(x) = 8 in [1] we have

g(x) = 6 \cdot 8 =48

Similarly,

For x= -3 , f(x) = 3, then

By substituting the value of f(x) = 3 in [1] we have

g(x) = 6 \cdot 3 =18

For x= 0, f(x) = -1 , then

By substituting the value of f(x) = -1 in [1] we have

g(x) = 6 \cdot -1 =-6

For x= 2, f(x) = 7, then

By substituting the value of f(x) = 7 in [1] we have

g(x) = 6 \cdot 7=42

For x= 10, f(x) = 5, then

By substituting the value of f(x) = 5 in [1] we have

g(x) = 6 \cdot 5=30

Therefore ; we have the corresponding values of g(x) as shown below;

x                f(x)           g(x)

-7                8                48

-3                3                 18

0                -1               -6

2                 7                42

10                5                30

Solve the system. -3x-y=10; y-4z=-13; x-4y+z=4
kvasek [131]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (x, y, z) = (-3, -1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Many graphing calculators can solve matrix equations handily. Here, we use a combination of methods.

Use the last equation to write an expression for z.

  z = 4 -x +4y

Substitute this into the second equation:

  y -4(4 -x +4y) = -13

  y -16 +4x -16y = -13

  4x -15y -3 = 0

In genera form, the first equation can be written as ...

  3x +y +10 = 0

Now, the solution to these two equations can be found to be ...

  x = (-15(10) -1(-3))/(4(1) -3(-15)) = (-150 +3)/(4+45) = -3 . . . using "Cramer's rule"

  y = -(10 +3x) = -(10 -9) = -1 . . . . from the first equation

  z = 4 -(-3) +4(-1) = 3 . . . . . . . . from our equation for z

The solution to the system is (x, y, z) = (-3, -1, 3).

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Written as an augmented matrix, the system of equations is ...

  \left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}-3&-1&0&10\\0&1&-4&-13\\1&-4&1&4\end{array}\right]
