Let x represent the worth of the professional basketball player's autograph a year ago. Since his autograph's worth increased by 40% now, $364 is 1.40x.
364 = 1.40x
Solving for x gives x = 260.
Thus, the autograph of the basketball player was worth only $260 last year.
One of the ways to graph this is to use plug in a few x-values and get an idea of the shape. Since the x values keep getting squared, there is an exponential increase on either side of the y-axis. You can see this by plugging in a few values:
When
x=0,f(x)=0
x=1,f(x)=1^2=1
x=2,f(x)=2^2=4
x=3,f(x)=3^2=9
x=4,f(x)=4^2=16
The same holds true for negative x-values to the left of the y-axis since a negative value squared is positive. For example,
x=−1,f(x)=(−1)2=1*−1=1
x=2,f(x)=(−2)2=−2*−2=4
The graph of f(x)=x^2 is called a "Parabola." It looks like this:
Answer: $52.71
Step-by-step explanation:
Today's price= $58.63
Yesterday's price= y
Difference= $5.92
y+5.92 = 58.63
y = 58.63 - 5.92
= $52.71
Answer:
B it is very simple my friend
Step-by-step explanation:
3.75 × 3.75 = 14.0
Answer:
y=(1/2)x+4
Step-by-step explanation:
you have 2 points but in order to find slope intercept you need slope so,
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(-1+4)/(8-2)=1/2 =slope
slope intercept:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-2=(1/2)(x+4)
y-2=(1/2)x+2
y=(1/2)x+4
