deff fn [24]

The slope and intercept form is the form of the straight line equation that includes the value of the slope of the line

Neither
║
Neither
⊥
║
Neither
Neither
Neither

Reason:

The slope and intercept form is the form y = m·x + c

Where;

m = The slope

Two equations are parallel if their slopes are equal

Two equations are perpendicular if the relationship between their slopes, m₁, and m₂ are; $m_1 = -\dfrac{1}{m_2}$

1. The given equations are in the slope and intercept form

$\ y = 3 \cdot x + 1$

The slope, m₁ = 3

$y = \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot x + 1$

The slope, m₂ = $\dfrac{1}{3}$

Therefore, the equations are <u>neither</u> parallel or perpendicular

Neither

2. y = 5·x - 3

10·x - 2·y = 7

The second equation can be rewritten in the slope and intercept form as follows;

$y = 5 \cdot x -\dfrac{7}{2}$

Therefore, the two equations are <u>parallel</u>

║

3. The given equations are;

-2·x - 4·y = -8

-2·x + 4·y = -8

The given equations in slope and intercept form are;

$y = 2 -\dfrac{1}{2} \cdot x$

Slope, m₁ = $-\dfrac{1}{2}$

$y = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot x - 2$

Slope, m₂ = $\dfrac{1}{2}$

The slopes

Therefore, m₁ ≠ m₂

$m_1 \neq -\dfrac{1}{m_2}$

The lines are <u>Neither</u> parallel nor perpendicular

<u>Neither</u>

4. The given equations are;

2·y - x = 2

$y = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot x +1$

m₁ = $\dfrac{1}{2}$

y = -2·x + 4

m₂ = -2

Therefore;

$m_1 \neq -\dfrac{1}{m_2}$

Therefore, the lines are <u>perpendicular</u>

⊥

5. The given equations are;

4·y = 3·x + 12

-3·x + 4·y = 2

Which gives;

First equation, $y = \dfrac{3}{4} \cdot x + 3$

Second equation, $y = \dfrac{3}{4} \cdot x + \dfrac{1}{2}$

Therefore, m₁ = m₂, the lines are <u>parallel</u>

║

6. The given equations are;

8·x - 4·y = 16

Which gives; y = 2·x - 4

5·y - 10 = 3, therefore, y = $\dfrac{13}{5}$

Therefore, the two equations are <u>neither</u> parallel nor perpendicular

<u>Neither</u>

7. The equations are;

2·x + 6·y = -3

Which gives $y = -\dfrac{1}{3} \cdot x - \dfrac{1}{2}$

12·y = 4·x + 20

Which gives

$y = \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot x + \dfrac{5}{3}$

m₁ ≠ m₂

$m_1 \neq -\dfrac{1}{m_2}$

<u>Neither</u>

8. 2·x - 5·y = -3

Which gives; $y = \dfrac{2}{5} \cdot x +\dfrac{3}{5}$

5·x + 27 = 6

$x = -\dfrac{21}{5}$

Therefore, the slopes are not equal, or perpendicular, the correct option is <u>Neither</u>

Dale works at a mattress store, and makes a salary plus commission. He has a $500 weekly salary and makes a 5% commission for sa

Anni [7]

Answer:

1. $\( f\circ g(x)=0.05x-150$

2. $\( g\circ f(x)=0.05x-3000$

3. The first one represents Dale's commission

Explanation:

1. The composition of the function

$f\circ g(x)=f(g(x))$

means that you first apply the function g(x) and then f(x) on the output of g(x).

That is:

f(x) = 0.05x
g(x) = x - 3000

$f(g(x)=0.05(x - 3000)$

$f(g(x))=0.05x-150$

2. The composition of the function

$g\circ f(x)=g(f(x))$

means that you first apply the function f(x) and then g(x) on the output of f(x).

That is:

$g(f(x))=((0.05x)-3000)=0.05x-3000$

3. Which one represents Dale's commission

To calculate Dales's commision you must subtract $3,000 from the sales, to find the sales over $3000. That is: x - 3,000, which is the function g(x).

Therefore, you first use g(x).

Then, you must multiply the output of g(x) by 0.05 to find the 5% of the sales over $3,000. That is: 0.05(g((x)) = 0.05(x - 3000) = 0.05x - 150.

Therefore, the composition that represents Dale's commission is the first one:

$f(g(x)=0.05(x - 3000)$

$f(g(x))=0.05x-150$
