Answer:
a. C(x) = $16, if 0 ≤ x ≤ 10
C(x) = 2x - 4 if x > 10
b. Independent: Number of DVD rentals
Dependent: Monthly cost of rentals
c. $26
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The cost (C) of renting 'x' DVDs is given by:
If 10 ≤ x ≤ 10
C(x) = $16
If x > 10
C(x) = 16 + 2(x-10)
C(x) = 2x - 4
b. Since the cost depends on the number of DVD rentals, cost is the dependent variable and number of DVD rentals is the independent variable.
c. For x = 15:
C(15) = 2*15 - 4
C(15) = $26
It costs $26 to tent 15 DVDs in one month
Answer:
(x - 25) / 4
Step-by-step explanation:
In this scenario, we have one unknown variable which is the total of the bag of almonds, therefore we can represent this with the variable x. Since Lorenzo ate 25 of this bag we would need to subtract this from the total of the bag. Then we need to divide the remainder by 4 since each of his friends ate the rest in equal parts. This would leave us with the following expression ...
(x - 25) / 4
Answer: f(3)
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the formula for the rate of change by taking the derivative of 2^x. Let f(x) equal some hypothetical y-value, then take the natural log of both sides.

Implicitly differentiate the left side and take the derivative of the right side

Multiply both sides by 'y' which was defined as 2^x

Plug in x = 2 and x = 3 to see which slope is larger

Assume Charles charges $7*3=$21 if he babysits for 2,5 hours (that is 2 and a half hours).
That is we are not considering Charles babysitting exactly 1, 2, 3 or 4 hours, but also in between times.
then we can write the following piecewise function to describe the situation:
f is a function from (0, 4] to {$7, $14, $21, $28}
