Answer:

B. The graph flips over the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

When you plot the coordinate pair (x, y), you plot the point 'y' units above the x-axis. If you change the sign of that (multiply the function by -1), then the point becomes (x, -y), and is plotted 'y' units below the x-axis.

The graph flips over the x-axis.

Attached is an example of a function with its original graph (red) and the graph after being multiplied by -1 (blue). The blue graph is a reflection of the red graph across the x-axis.

Answer:

The price per wind chime that will maximize revenue = $ 315

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - A gift shop sells 160 wind chimes per month at $150 each. the owners estimate that for each $15 increase in price, they will sell 5 fewer wind chimes per month.

To find - Find the price per wind chime that will maximize revenue.

Proof -

Given that,

Total Wind chimes selling = 160

Price of each Wind chime = $150

Now,

Given that, for each $15 increase in price, they will sell 5 fewer wind chimes per month.

So,

Let the price = 150 + 15x

So,

Number of wind Chimes sold per month = 160 - 5x

So,

Total Revenue, R = (150 + 15x)(160 - 5x)

= 24000 - 750x + 2400x - 75x²

= 24000 + 1650x - 75x²

⇒R(x) = 24000 + 1650x - 75x²

Differentiate R with respect to x , we get

R'(x) = 1650 - 150x

Now,

For Maximize Revenue, Put R'(x) = 0

⇒1650 - 150x = 0

⇒150x = 1650

⇒x = 1650/150

⇒x = 11

∴ we get

Price per Wind chime = $ 150 + 15(11)

= $ 150 + 165

= $ 315

So,

The price per wind chime that will maximize revenue = $ 315

Which linear function has a negative slope, f(x) or g(x)?

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

f(x) is negative and g(x) is positive

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4-x

Rewriting

f(x) = -x+4

We recognize this as

y= mx+b or the representation of a line with slope -1 and y intercept 4

f(x) is linear

g(x) as we increase x by 1 we increase g(x) by 2

The slope is 2, and the y intercept is 1

y = 2x+1

Lets check a point

(2,5)

5 = 2(2)+1

5=5 so we are correct

f(x) is negative and g(x) is positive

Evaluate 12x2 + 39x + 30 at x = 3.

ycow [4]

Answer:

255

Step-by-step explanation:

12x^(2) + 39x + 30

x = 3

Substitute in"3" for "x" and solve;

12(3)^(2) + 39(3) + 30

= 12 * 9 + 117 + 30

= 108 + 117 + 30

= 255
