Step-by-step explanation and answers:
300 articles at a total cost of $1500:
$1500 / 300 = $5 / article
Sells 260 articles at a price 20% above this ^ price:
20% of $5 is $1, so $5 + $1 = $6
Then he sells 260 articles at the price of ^ $6
260 * $6 = $1560
Each of the remaining articles is sold at a price that's 50% of the 260 he sold.
He sold those for $6, so he would now sell the last 40 for $3
From the remaining 40 articles, he makes 40 * $3, or $120
The shopkeeper made $1560 + $120 = $1680, which is $180 more than he bought them for ($1500)
Therefore, he made a profit percentage of $180 / $1500, (the amount of profit over the amount spent).
He made a profit percentage, compared to the cost price, of 12%.
The formula for an exponential equation is y = a * b^x with a and b being a fixed value.
"a" would also be the Y intercept, which is where the graph touches or crosses the Y axis. In the given graph, the curved line touches the Y axis at 100, so the value of a would be 100.
Now we need to find b.
The blue dot at Y 50 is lined up with x = 1, so we can use the point (1,50)
Using the X and Y values we can solve for b:
format: y = a * b^x we replace the letters with the numbers above:
50 = 100 * b^1
b^1 = b so now we have:
50 = 100 *b
Divide both sides by 100 to get b by itself:
b = 50/100, which reduces to 1/2, so b = 1/2
So the equation of the graph becomes y = 100(1/2)^x
You may need to write the 1/2 as 0.5, not sure how you need to enter it.
The blue line...
(1,2),(3,1)
slope = (1 - 2) / (3 - 1) = -1/2
there is a y int at (0,2.5) or (0,5/2)
it is shaded below the line....and it is a solid line
this inequality is :
y = -1/2x + 5/2
1/2x + y = 5/2
x + 2y = 5
x + 2y < = 5.....this is ur inequality
red line...
(0,4), (1,1)
slope = (1 - 4) / (1 - 0) = -3/1 = -3
there is a y int at (0,4)
it is shaded below the line...and it is a solid line
this inequality is :
y = -3x + 4
3x + y = 4
3x + y < = 4 ...this is ur inequality
summary :
ur 2 inequalities are :
x + 2y < = 5 and 3x + y < = 4
Answer:
1+2+3+4+5+7+8+8+8
Step-by-step explanation:
In the default window of a graphing calculator, there is only one intersection that you see.
However, if you zoom out, you will see that they are 3 intersections to the pair of equations.
