9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (8, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hats sold by each seller.

__

Kenny's cost: $3

Kenny's revenue: $0.50x

Kenny's profit = revenue - cost: y = 0.50x -3

__

Ben's cost: $1

Ben's revenue: $0.25x

Ben's profit = revenue - cost: y = 0.25x -1

__

The profit and sales will be the same when the same (x, y) values satisfy both profit equations.

  y = 0.50x -3

  y = 0.25x -1

  0.50x -3 = 0.25x -1 . . . . . substitute for y

  0.25x = 2 . . . . . . . . . . . add 3-0.25x

  x = 8 . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4

  y = 0.25x -1 = 2 -1 = 1 . . . using Ben's profit equation

The profit and sales will be the same for ...

  (hats, profit) = (8, 1)

Given that (-3 3) is on the graph of f(x) find the corresponding point for the function f(x+1)
vredina [299]

Answer:

(-3, 4).

Step-by-step explanation:

When f(x) becomes f(x + 1), all that is happening is that the y-value increases by 1.

So, (-3, 3) becomes (-3, 3 + 1). That is (-3, 4).

Hope this helps!
