$3/pound. $12 divided by 4 pounds is $3 per pound.

It’s $3 because when you divide 12 by 4 you get three getting the price of how much each pound is per tomato

Members of the student concil are conducting a fundraiser by selling school calendars. After selling 80 calendars, they had a lo

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

a) $y=8x-1000$

b) $profit=\$8$

c) They'd have lost $1000 if they had sold no calendars.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

In this case we know that "y" represents the profit of loss and "x" the number of calendars sold.

Then, according to the exercise, the line passes through these two points:

$(80,-360)$ and $(200,600)$

Then, we can find the slope of the line with the formula $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m=\frac{-360-600}{80-200}=8$

Now, we can substitute the slope and one of those points into $y=mx+b$ and solve for "b":

$600=8(200)+b\\\\b=-1000$

Then, subtituting values, we get that the equation that describes the relation between the profit of loss and the number of calendars sold, is:

$y=8x-1000$

b) The slope of the line is the profit they made from selling each calendar

$profit=8$

c) The y-intercept is the amount they would have lost if they had sold no calendars:

$b=-1000$

They'd have lost $1000 if they had sold no calendars.

The price of products may increase due to inflation and decrease due to depreciation. Marco is studying the change in the price

likoan [24]

Answer:

A) 3%

B) Product A

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential Function

General form of an exponential function: $y=ab^x$

where:

a is the initial value (y-intercept)
b is the base (growth/decay factor) in decimal form
x is the independent variable
y is the dependent variable

If b > 1 then it is an increasing function

If 0 < b < 1 then it is a decreasing function

Part A

Product A

Assuming the function for Product A is exponential:

$f(x) = 0.69(1.03)^x$

The base (b) is 1.03. As b > 1 then it is an increasing function.

To calculate the percentage increase/decrease, subtract 1 from the base:

⇒ 1.03 - 1 = 0.03 = 3%

Therefore, product A is increasing by 3% each year.

Part B

$\sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{final\:value-initial\:value}{initial\:value} \times 100$

To calculate the percentage change in Product B, use the percentage change formula with two consecutive values of f(t) from the given table:

$\implies \sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{10201-10100}{10100}\times 100=1\%$

Check using different two consecutive values of f(t):

$\implies \sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{10303.01-10201}{10201}\times 100=1\%$

Therefore, as 3% > 1%, Product A recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous year.

Although the question has not asked, we can use the given information to easily create an exponential function for Product B.

Given:

a = 10,100
b = 1.01
n = t - 1 (as the initial value is for t = 1 not t = 0)

$\implies f(t) = 10100(1.01)^{t-1}$

To check this, substitute the values of t for 1 through 4 into the found function:

$\implies f(1) = 10100(1.01)^{1-1}=10100$

$\implies f(2) = 10100(1.01)^{2-1}=10201$

$\implies f(3) = 10100(1.01)^{3-1}=10303.01$

$\implies f(4) = 10100(1.01)^{4-1}=10406.04$

As these values match the values in the given table, this confirms that the found function for Product B is correct and that Product B increases by 1% per year.

Triangle QST is similar to triangle PQR

We are given that measure of angle SRP is 90°

Q is the point of the hypotenuse SP

Segment QR is perpendicular to PS and T is a point outside the triangle on the left of s

We need to find which triangle is similar to triangle PQR

So,

Using Angle - Angle - Angle Criterion We can say that

m∠PQR = m∠SQR (AAA similarity)

m∠SQR=m∠SQT (AAA similarity)

Where m∠Q =90° in ΔQST and PQR

Therefore ΔQST is similar to ΔPQR
