Answer:

g(15) = 2

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Alg</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Function inverses

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

f(x) = 4x + 7

g(x) = f⁻¹(x)

g(15) is x = 15

<u>Step 2: Find inverse</u>

  1. Rewrite:                    y = 4x + 7
  2. Swap:                        x = 4y + 7
  3. Isolate <em>y </em>term:          x - 7 = 4y
  4. Isolate <em>y</em>:                   (x - 7)/4 = y
  5. Rewrite:                    y = (x - 7)/4
  6. Back-substitute:       g(x) = (x - 7)/4

<u>Step 3: Evaluate</u>

  1. Substitute:                    g(15) = (15 - 7)/4
  2. Subtract:                       g(15) = 8/4
  3. Divide:                          g(15) = 2

Jennifer pays $12.50 a month for Amazon Prime and pays extra every time she rents a movie. One month she rented 1 movie and paid
Dafna1 [17]

Answer: y=5.25x+12.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The original 12.50 is how much she pays each month regardless of rented movies, it is the 0 value and doesn't change. Each rented movie costs 5.25 (17.75-12.50=5.25) and that value would be multiplied by the amount of movies she rents that month, and then added onto the original base value.

Ivanna will rent a car for the weekend. She can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of $40 and costs an a
natka813 [3]
First, let's make these two into equations.
The first plan has an initial fee of $40 and costs an additional $0.16 per mile driven.
Our equation would then be
C = 40 + 0.16m
where C is the total cost, and m is the number of miles driven.
The second plan has an initial fee of $51 and costs an additional $0.11 per mile driven.
So, the equation is
C = 51 + 0.11m
where C is the total cost, and m is the number of miles driven.
Now, your question seems to be asking for one mileage for both, equalling one cost. I would go through all the steps I've taken to try and find this for you, but it would probably take hours to type out and read. In short, I'm not entirely sure that an answer like that is possible in this situation, simply because of the large difference in the initial fee of the two plans, along with the sparse common multiples between the two mileage costs.

The 12 ounce bottle is a better buy as the customer spends less per ounce ($0.1158/oz) than the 24 ounce ($0.1163/oz).
