Yo i need help wit 17 and 18 i’ll give u a brainliest you please
1 answer:
Answer:
17. See below
18. 750
Step-by-step explanation:
17. Since the lollipops are being sold at the same price, 50 cents, for each one sold, they make a constant amount of money. For each increase in lollipops sold, there is a constant increase in money made, and thus the situation is a linear function.
18. To solve this equation, let's say y is the money made at the convention in dollars and x is the number of lollipops sold. If the principal gave them 125 dollars before they sold any lollipops (0 lollipops sold), then 125 is the y-intercept of the function, and in the equation y=mx+b, b=125. If each lollipop costs 50 cents (half of a dollar), then for each lollipop, x, sold, .5 dollars are made and are added to the profit, y. Thus, .5 dollars is the slope. The equation then becomes:
Now, if they need 500 dollars, y is thus equal to 500 dollars. Solving the equation:
Thus, 750 lollipops must be sold.

When we approach limits, we are finding values that are infinitesimally approaching this x-value. Essentially, we consider the approximate location that this root or limit appears. This is essential when it comes to taking Calculus, and finding the limit or rate of change of a function.
When we are attempting limits questions, there are several tests we attempt first.
1. Evaluate the limit by substituting the value of the x-value as it approaches the value (direct evaluation of a limit)
2. Rearrangement of the function, such that we can evaluate the limit.
3. (TRIGONOMETRIC PROPERTIES)
4. Using L'Hopital's Rule for indeterminate limits, such as 0/0, -infinity/infinity, or infinity/infinity.
For example:
1)
We can do this using the first and second method.
<em>Method 1: Direct evaluation:</em>
Substitute x = 0 to the function.
<em>Method 2: Rearranging the function
</em>
We can see that x - 25 can be rewritten as: (√x - 5)(√x + 5)
By rewriting it in this form, the top will cancel with the bottom easily, and our limit comes out the same.
Every example works exactly the same way, and by remembering these criteria, every limit question should come out pretty naturally.
