Answer:
f(x) = 12x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
We need a linear equation in the slope-intercept form.
y = mx + b
where y = total pay, m = hourly salary, x = number of hours worked, and b = y-intercept, or initial value
Let's look in the table.
1 hour: $22
2 hours: $34
The difference in pay between 1 hour and 2 hours is $34 - $22 = $12.
The difference in time between 1 hour and 2 hours is 1 hour.
In 1 hour he earns $12. That means the slope is 12.
We know he earns $22 for working a total of 1 hour.
Start at 1 hour and $22 on the table.
Subtract 1 hour from 1 hour to get 0 hours.
Subtract $12 form $22 to get $10.
That means for 0 hours he gets $10. b = 10
The equation is
y = 12x + 10
In function form, we have:
f(x) = 12x = 10
f(x) is concave down on an interval I if all of the tangents to the curve on I are above the graph of f(x)
Let's make p stand for popcorn and d for drinks. Using those variables, we can create our equations:
2p + 3d = 18.25
4p + 2d = 27.50
From this, we can use substitution or elimination to solve:
For substitution, in the second equations, we could factor out a 2, divide both sides by 2, and then move the left over 2p to the other side to isolate d to put into the first equation.
For elimination, we can multiply the first equation by -2 so that we can remove the 4p and focus on solving for d.
I'll be using elimination in this case:
-2(2p + 3d = 18.25) --> -4p - 6d = -36.50
-4p - 6d = -36.50
4p + 2d = 27.50
-4d = -9.00
d = 2.25
4p + 2 * 2.25 = 27.50
4p + 4.50 = 27.50
4p = 23.00
p = 5.75
Now let's check our answer:
2 * 5.75 + 3 * 2.25 = 18.25
11.50 + 6.75 = 18.25
18.25 = 18.25
So drinks cost $2.25 and popcorn $5.75
Answer:
x^2 - 6x + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 3)^2
(x - 3)(x - 3)
x^2 - 3x - 3x + 9
x^2 - 6x + 9
Answer:
5:1 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's look at the ratio in fraction form, since ratios are easier to think about in this mathematical way:
Now we have a fraction which is easier to work with. We can look for a common factor of 25 and 5 and then factor it out to find the lowest terms of our ratio and the simplified version of the fraction. One common factor of 25 and 5 that I can think of is 5 itself. So, let's divide both sides by 5.
÷ 
= 
Does that make sense? 25 divided by 5 is 5, and 5 divided by 5 is 1. So the simplified version of the fraction is , and the lowest terms of the ratio 25:5 cm is 5:1 cm.
Hopefully that makes sense! If you need more help or any of that was confusing or difficult to understand, let me know. :)
