-- They're losing employees . . . so you know that the line will slope down, and
its slope is negative;
-- They're losing employees at a steady rate . . . so you know that the slope is
the same everywhere on the line; this tells you that the graph is a straight line.
I can see the function right now, but I'll show you how to go through the steps to
find the function. I need to point out that these are steps that you've gone through
many times, but now that the subject pops up in a real-world situation, suddenly
you're running around in circles with your hair on fire screaming "What do I do ?
Somebody give me the answer !".
Just take a look at what has already been handed to you:
0 months . . . 65 employees
1 month . . . . 62 employees
2 months . . . 59 employees
You know three points on the line !
(0, 65) , (1, 62) , and (2, 59) .
For the first point, 'x' happens to be zero, so immediately
you have your y-intercept ! ' b ' = 65 .
You can use any two of the points to find the slope of the line.
You will calculate that the slope is negative-3 . . . which you
might have realized as you read the story, looked at the numbers,
and saw that they are <u>firing 3 employees per month</u>.
("Losing" them doesn't quite capture the true spirit of what is happening.)
So your function ... call it ' W(n) ' . . . Workforce after 'n' months . . .
is <em>W(n) = 65 - 3n</em> .
= 7 2/5 - 1 4/5
= 37/5 - 9/5
= 28/5
In short, Your Answer would be: 28/5 or 5 3/5
Hope this helps!
Answer: 5
Step-by-step explanation: The median is the middle number in the data set when the data set is written from least to greatest.
Notice that our data set is already written from least to greatest.
1, 2, 2, 8, 9, 14
Notice that in this data set, there is no middle number directly because 2 and 8 fall directly in the middle. In this situation, we take the average of these two middle numbers and divide their sum by 2.
Since 2 and 8 are the numbers that appear in the middle, we add them.
2 + 8 gives us 10.
Now we divide 10 by 2 to get 5.
So the median of this data set is 5.
Answer:
C. y = x^2 -10x +26
Step-by-step explanation:
The translated function is ...
g(x) = f(x - right) + up
g(x) = f(x -5) +1
g(x) = (x -5)^2 +1
g(x) = x^2 -10x +26
In "y =" form, this is ...
y = x^2 -10x +26 . . . . matches choice C
