Answer:

X=5 y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Set them equal to each other so...

-2x+8=3x-7

Simplify by balancing out the equation so

-5x=-1

So x=5

Now plug it into either y equation

-2(5)+8

-10+8

Y=-2

Hope this helps!

For the first part, the answer is choice B) 360. This applies to any polygon and it doesn't have to be an octagon. The sum of the exterior angles of any polygon is always 360 degrees. This is something you should memorize or have on a reference sheet.

For the second part, the answer is choice C) 142 degrees. We have a parallelogram (specifically a rhombus but that doesn't matter) so the adjacent angles are supplementary. This means they add to 180 degrees. Solving x+38 = 180 leads to x = 142

10. Find the mean, median of the following data.

Mariana [72]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You find the mean by adding all the values then dividing that sum by the amount of values

You find the median by putting the numbers in order from least to greatest and then find the middle number.

The price of products may increase due to inflation and decrease due to depreciation. Marco is studying the change in the price

likoan [24]

Answer:

A) 3%

B) Product A

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential Function

General form of an exponential function: $y=ab^x$

where:

a is the initial value (y-intercept)
b is the base (growth/decay factor) in decimal form
x is the independent variable
y is the dependent variable

If b > 1 then it is an increasing function

If 0 < b < 1 then it is a decreasing function

Part A

Product A

Assuming the function for Product A is exponential:

$f(x) = 0.69(1.03)^x$

The base (b) is 1.03. As b > 1 then it is an increasing function.

To calculate the percentage increase/decrease, subtract 1 from the base:

⇒ 1.03 - 1 = 0.03 = 3%

Therefore, product A is increasing by 3% each year.

Part B

$\sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{final\:value-initial\:value}{initial\:value} \times 100$

To calculate the percentage change in Product B, use the percentage change formula with two consecutive values of f(t) from the given table:

$\implies \sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{10201-10100}{10100}\times 100=1\%$

Check using different two consecutive values of f(t):

$\implies \sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{10303.01-10201}{10201}\times 100=1\%$

Therefore, as 3% > 1%, Product A recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous year.

Although the question has not asked, we can use the given information to easily create an exponential function for Product B.

Given:

a = 10,100
b = 1.01
n = t - 1 (as the initial value is for t = 1 not t = 0)

$\implies f(t) = 10100(1.01)^{t-1}$

To check this, substitute the values of t for 1 through 4 into the found function:

$\implies f(1) = 10100(1.01)^{1-1}=10100$

$\implies f(2) = 10100(1.01)^{2-1}=10201$

$\implies f(3) = 10100(1.01)^{3-1}=10303.01$

$\implies f(4) = 10100(1.01)^{4-1}=10406.04$

As these values match the values in the given table, this confirms that the found function for Product B is correct and that Product B increases by 1% per year.
