Answer:

intercepts: prices at which profit is zero

maximum: price at which profit is maximum

increasing: x < 5, where increasing price means increasing profit

decreasing: 5 < x, where increasing price means decreasing profit

B. 20 dollars per dollar, the rate of increase of profit with respect to price changes

C. 0 ≤ x ≤10

Part A: The description of the graph tells you that each point on the graph represents (price, profit). So, x-intercept points that are (price, 0) represent prices at which profit is zero. The point (price, maximum) = (5, 160) represents the price at which profit is maximized.

The curve is increasing to the left of the maximum, on the interval x < 5, and is decreasing to the right of the maximum, on the interval 5 < x. These are the intervals where increasing prices result in increasing and decreasing profits, respectively.

Part B:

The average rate of change between (2, 100) and (5, 160) is given by the slope formula:

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) = (160 -100)/(5 -2) = 60/3 = 20 . . . . dollars per dollar

On average company profit increases by $20 for each $1 increase in the price of its pencils.

Part C:

Prices are not usually negative, so the domain is likely constrained to 0 ≤ x. The price could be set high enough to result in negative profit, but that is not a practical choice. So, the upper end of the reasonable domain is x ≤ 10.

The reasonable constraints on the domain are those than ensure profit is non-negative: 0 ≤ x ≤ 10.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Recursive equation for the pattern followed is given by,

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

In the question,

The number of interaction for 1 child = 0

Number of interactions for 2 children = 1

Number of interactions for 3 children = 5

Number of interaction for 4 children = 14

So,

We need to find out the pattern for the recursive equation for the given conditions.

So,

We see that,

$a_{1}=0\\a_{2}=1\\a_{3}=5\\a_{4}=14\\$

Therefore, on checking, we observe that,

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}$

On checking the equation at the given values of 'n' of, 1, 2, 3 and 4.

At,

n = 1

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}\\a_{1}=a_{1-1}+(1-1)^{2}\\a_{1}=0+0=0\\a_{1}=0$

which is true.

At,

n = 2

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}\\a_{2}=a_{2-1}+(2-1)^{2}\\a_{2}=a_{1}+1\\a_{2}=1$

Which is also true.

At,

n = 3

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}\\a_{3}=a_{3-1}+(3-1)^{2}\\a_{3}=a_{2}+4\\a_{3}=5$

Which is true.

At,

n = 4

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}\\a_{4}=a_{4-1}+(4-1)^{2}\\a_{4}=a_{3}+9\\a_{4}=14$

This is also true at the given value of 'n'.

Therefore, the recursive equation for the pattern followed is given by,

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+(n-1)^{2}$

Help please - first question

Afina-wow [57]

The answer should be x=60. ABD are an equilateral triangle all the angles must add up to 180. 60*3=180. Also if you have a protractor you can measure the angle C, the 60 degrees part and measure it against A, D and B. Hope this helps.
