Answer:
It's a function that associates a real number x with a positive real number using the flowing definition: If the number is not negative (so either positive or 0) the absolute value is x. If x is negative, the absolute value is -x.
This means that to find the absolute value of x you must first determine if x is negative or not, and if it is, multiply it by -1. If it isn't, leave it as it is.
Since the absolute value is a function (of a given number), you can't just plot that number in the number line but the function (so in this case absolute value must be taken first.
The absolute value of x is never negative, so given the absolute value of x we can't determinate if x was positive or negative (if x =/ 0) before the absolute value was taken.
If you have the profit formula which is profit (x1, x2) = 110x1 + 150x2, then by substitution of the given point (x1, x2) = (0, 30), you can find the profit at the corner point profit (0.30 ) = 110 (0) + 150 (30) = 4500.Therefore the profit will be $ 4500
If they each kept the same amount of the $50 prize, then we divide $50
by 2 people, giving each of them $25 winnings. Your question is then a
little confusing because it could be answered in two ways. Did they
each keep $20.75 out of their $25 winnings, or did the two of them keep
$20.75 in a combined total? Please read your question again to see
which might be the case. I'm answering on the assumption that they each
kept $20.75.
STEP 1:
divide total prize money by 2
= $50 ÷ 2
= $25 each won
STEP 2:
If they each kept $20.75
= $25 won - $20.75 each kept
= $4.25 each gave away
STEP 3:
multiply amount given away by 2 people
= $4.25 * 2 people
= $8.50 total given away
ANSWER: The total given to Romy is $8.50.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The function s(x)=0.9(.82)^x models the number of subscription in tens of thousands where x represents the number of years since the trend has been observed.
s(x) represents the number of subscriptions to the Dorchester Daily in a given year.
0.9 in ten thousands represents the initial number of subscriptions to the Dorchester Daily in a given year.
0.82 represents the rate at which the number of number of subscriptions to the Dorchester Daily is declining. The rate in percentage is 100 - 82 = 12% each year.
x represents the number of years since the trend has been observed.
