If a< c< b then a<c and c<b
Separate the equation into 2 separate ones and solve them:
X-9 < 4x +3
Subtract 3 from both sides:
X-12 < 4x
Subtract x from both sides:
-12< 3x
Divide both sides by 3:
X > -4
4x+3 < 27
Subtract 3 from both sides
4x < 24
Divide both sides by 4
X <6
Combine to get one inequality:
-4<x<6
0.3*42 this gives you a 30% discount
3/10*42 this gives you a 30% discount
0.03*42 this gives you a 3% discount
3 *4.2 This is not a discount
Answer:
No, because as the x-values are increasing by a constant amount, the y-values are not being multiplied by a constant amount.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a set of ordered pairs of the form (x, y)
If a function is exponential then the ratio between the consecutive values of y, is always equal to a constant.
This means that:
\frac{y_2}{y_1}=\frac{y_3}{y_2}=\frac{y_4}{y_3}=by1y2=y2y3=y3y4=b
This is: y_2=by_1y2=by1
Now we have this set of points {(-1, -5), (0, -3), (1, -1), (2, 1)}
Observe that:
\begin{gathered}\frac{y_2}{y_1}=\frac{-3}{-5}=\frac{3}{5}\\\\\frac{y_3}{y_2}=\frac{-1}{-3}=\frac{1}{3}\\\\\frac{3}{5}\neq \frac{1}{3}\end{gathered}y1y2=−5−3=53y2y3=−3−1=3153=31
Then the values of y are not multiplied by a constant amount "b"
The answer is 690 if you subtract the two numbers you will find the cost of the bench.
I believe that it is b=-3d+a
