Answer:

$g(7) = \frac{45}{8} \\ \: or \: \\ 5 \frac{5}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We would just apply the 7 in g(7) as all the x

g(x)= 7/8x - 1/2

g(7)= 7/8(7) -1/2

$\frac{7}{8} \times \frac{7}{1} = \frac{49}{8}$

Simplify

g(7)= 49/8 -1/2

Multiply -1/2 by 4/4 to get the denominators the same

$\frac{49}{8} - \frac{4}{8} = \frac{45}{8}$

answer: g(7)=45/8

(simplified): g(7)=5 5/8

Mr. Walker gave his class the function f(x) = (x + 3)(x + 5). Four students made a claim about the function. Each student’s clai

stich3 [128]

Answer:

Stephen's claim is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$f(x)=(x+3)(x+5)$

Put x=0 to find the y-intercepts.

$f(0)=(0+3)(0+5)=3\times 5=15$

The y-intercept of the function is at (0,15). It means jeremiah's statement is incorrect.

Put f(x)=0, to find the x-intercept.

$0=(x+3)(x+5)$

$x+3=0\Rightarrow x=-3$

$x+5=0\Rightarrow x=-5$

The x-intercepts are at (-3,0) and (-5,0). It means Lindsay's statement is incorrect.

$f(x)=(x+3)(x+5)$

$f(x)=x^2+8x+15$

$f(x)=x^2+8x+15+16-16$

$f(x)=(x^2+8x+16)-1$

$f(x)=(x+4)^2-1$ .... (1)

The vertex form of a parabola is

$f(x)=(x-h)^2+k$ .... (2)

Where, (h,k) is vertex.

From (1) and (2) it is clear that the vertex of the parabola is (-4,-1), Stephen's claim is correct.

The midpoint between the x-intercepts is

$(\frac{-3-5}{2},\frac{0+0}{2})=(-4,0)$

The midpoint between the x-intercepts is at (-4, 0). It means Alexis's statement is incorrect.

A manufacturing company builds construction machinery. It sells 10 machines for $18,100 and 20 machines for $26,600. Which equat

Anon25 [30]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

D. R(x) = 850x +9600

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Selling 10 more machines increased revenue from $18100 to $26600, an increase of ...

... $26,600 -18,100 = $8,500

That is, the revenue increased by $8500/10 = $850 per machine.

Only one answer choice has this number in it:

... D. R(x) = 850x+9600

_____

<em>Check</em>

R(10) = 850·10 +9600 = 8500 +9600 = 18,100 . . . . OK

R(20) = 850·20 +9600 = 17000 +9600 = 26,600 . . . . OK

<em>Comment on answer selection</em>

On multiple-choice questions, it is rarely necessary to work out the solution to the problem completely. Usually, it is sufficient to find the one number that discriminates between correct and incorrect answers.

In real life, answers are rarely multiple-choice. You are required to work the problem completely and to figure out how to tell if your answer is correct.

Here, we have worked the problem far enough to find the slope, the amount by which revenue increases when sales increases by 1 unit. The intercept can be found different ways. One of them is to see what number makes the revenue match for one of the "x" values:

... R(10) = 850·10 +b = 18100

... b = 18100 -8500 = 9600

so ...

... R(x) = 850x +9600

We can check this answer by computing R(20), as we have above.
