Using linear functions, it is found that Rowan and Kennedy will have read the same number of pages in 10 minutes.

What is a linear function?

  • A linear function is modeled by:

y = ax + b

In which:

  • a is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

For Rowan, we have that:

  • He has already read 20 pages, hence the y-intercept is b = 20.
  • He reads 1.5 pages per minute, hence the slope is a = 1.5

Then:

y_R = 1.5x + 20

For Kennedy, we have that:

  • He has already read 25 pages, hence the y-intercept is b = 25.
  • He reads 1 page per minute, hence the slope is a = 1

Then:

y_K = x + 25

They will have read the same number of pages after x minutes, for which:

y_R = y_K

Then:

1.5x + 20 = x + 25

0.5x = 5

x = \frac{5}{0.5}

x = 10

A video game store allows customers to rent games for $4.75 each. Customers can also buy a membership for $54 each year, and vid
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of membership + game = 2.50x + 54

Cost of just games = 4.75x

The catch is, how do we make up the 54 dollars?

So equate the 2 costs

4.75x = 2.50x + 54      Subtract 2.50

4.75x - 2.50x = 54       Combine

2.25x = 54                    Divide by 2.25

x = 54/2.25

x = 24

That means that 24 is the break even point.

Please help I can’t figure it out
Andreyy89

Answer: -4

Step-by-step explanation: Notice that the increments in the graph do not go in 1's, but in 2's. Meaning the first line is 2, and second line is 4, and in the middle is 3. Be careful.

The range is where the line on the graph hits the y-axis (horizontal line, or line going up). The only possible place the line hits the y-axis is at -4. No other y-value. Thus, the range of the function is -4.
