A pizzeria charges $8 for a large cheese pizza, plus $2 for each topping. The total cost for a large pizza is given by the equat

ion C=2t+8, where t is the number of toppings. Graph the equation for t between 0 and 5 toppings, and explain the meaning of the slope and y-intercept.

Slope is the rise and run of a point on the graph to the other
the y intercept is where a line crosses the y axis for example, (0,5) so 5 is the y intercept

(0,8), (1,10), (2, 12), (3, 14), (4, 16), (5, 18)

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

The total cost for a large pizza is given by the equation:

C=2t+8

where t is the number of toppings.

Now, when t=0 we have:

C=8

when t=1 we have:

C=10

when t=2 we have:

C=12

when t=3 we have:

C=14

when t=4 we have:

C=16

when t=5 we have:

C=18

i.e. the graph of this equation is the ordered pair:

(0,8) , (1,10) , (2,12) , (3,14) , (4,16) and (5,18)

Now, the slope of this function means the cost of each topping.

and the y-intercept represents the cost of the pizza when there are no toppings.

Becky tells her friend about the Rule of 72 and her friend immediately

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

a. the investment earns 4%

b. yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The "rule of 72" says that an investment earning compound interest at x% will double in value after 72/x years. That is, ...

f(x) = 72/x

__

<h3>a.</h3>

We interpret f(4) to mean Becky's friend is interested in the doubling time for an investment that earns 4% interest.

__

<h3>b.</h3>

Using the above formula, ...

f(4) = 72/4 = 18

The friend's math is correct.

What is the missing length??

amid [387]

Answer

The missing length is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the missing length with x

The sides of the given shape are directly proportional.

Mathematically:

(15 + x) to (12 + 8) and x to 7

Represent as a ratio:

$(15 + x) : (12 + 8) = x : 8$

$15 + x : 20= x : 8$

Convert to fraction

$\frac{15 + x}{20} = \frac{x}{8}$

Cross Multiply:

$(15 + x)*8 = 20 * x$

$120 + 8x = 20x$

Collect Like Terms

$20x - 8x = 120$

$12x = 120$

Solve for x

$x = \frac{120}{10}$

$x = 10$

<em>The length of the missing side is 10</em>

Show that every triangle formed by the coordinate axes and a tangent line to y = 1/x ( for x > 0)

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given a point $(x_0,y_0)$ the equation of a line with slope m that passes through the given point is

$y-y_0 = m(x-x_0)$ or equivalently

$y = mx+(y_0-mx_0)$ .

Recall that a line of the form $y=mx+b$ , the y intercept is b and the x intercept is $\frac{-b}{m}$ .

So, in our case, the y intercept is $(y_0-mx_0)$ and the x intercept is $\frac{mx_0-y_0}{m}$ .

In our case, we know that the line is tangent to the graph of 1/x. So consider a point over the graph $(x_0,\frac{1}{x_0})$ . Which means that $y_0=\frac{1}{x_0}$

The slope of the tangent line is given by the derivative of the function evaluated at $x_0$ . Using the properties of derivatives, we get

$y' = \frac{-1}{x^2}$ . So evaluated at $x_0$ we get $m = \frac{-1}{x_0^2}$

Replacing the values in our previous findings we get that the y intercept is

$(y_0-mx_0) = (\frac{1}{x_0}-(\frac{-1}{x_0^2}x_0)) = \frac{2}{x_0}$

The x intercept is

$\frac{mx_0-y_0}{m} = \frac{\frac{-1}{x_0^2}x_0-\frac{1}{x_0}}{\frac{-1}{x_0^2}} = 2x_0$

The triangle in consideration has height $\frac{2}{x_0}$ and base $2x_0$ . So the area is

$\frac{1}{2}\frac{2}{x_0}\cdot 2x_0=2$

So regardless of the point we take on the graph, the area of the triangle is always 2.

A swim team is divided into age groups: Guppies, stingrays, and sharks. There are 20 swimmers in the Stingray group. If we rando

ivanzaharov [21]

If you choose 10 swimmers and 4 are Stingrays, you can say that Stingrays make up roughly 40% of the swimmers. If 20 Stingrays make up 40% of all the swimmers, we just have to find what number 20 is 40% of. That’s easy enough by cross multiplication:

20/x = 40/100

20/x = 4/10

20/x = 2/5

x = 50.

Double check by multiplying 50 * 0.4. Since 50 * 0.4 = 20, we know we have the right answer. There are about 50 swimmers on this team.
