Answer:

  f(x) = -1/3x +23/3

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the linear regression function of a graphing calculator or spreadsheet to show you the equation of the line through these points:

  f(x) = -1/3x +23/3

__

Approaching this in the usual way, we recognize we have points ...

  (-1, 8) and (5, 6)

The slope of the line through those points is ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (6 -8)/(5 -(-1)) = -2/6 = -1/3

Then the point-slope equation of the line is ...

  y - 8 = -1/3(x +1)

Adding 8 gives us a form we can use for a function definition:

  f(x) = -1/3(x +1) +8

  f(x) = -1/3x +7 2/3

The teachers’ editions of a statistics textbook sell for $150 each, and students’ editions of the book sell for $50 each. Which
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

(300 + 50x)/(2 + x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of teachers' edition books be t

Let the cost of students' edition books be s

So t = 150; s = 50

Then the total cost of 2 teachers' editions and x students' editions is 2t + sx = 2 × 150 + 50x = 300 + 50x.

The total number of books is 2 + x.

So the average cost per book is (300 + 50x)/(2 + x)

Help me out with this problem please!!and (please tell me how you got the answer.)
Sati [7]
The answers are that the number can equal -4 or 1. 

You can find this by setting the number equal to x.

x^2 (The square of a number) + 3x (three times a number) = 4

x^2 + 3x = 4 ---> subtract 4 from each side
x^2 + 3x - 4 = 0

Then you can factor this to find the answers

(x - 4)(x + 1) = 0

Set both equal to 0 and solve.
