The volunteers at a high school football team’s concession stand are trying to decide on the price of the hot dogs they are sell

ing. When they charge $2 for a hot dog, they sell an average of 70 hot dogs per game. With every $1 increase in the price, the number of hot dogs sold per game decreases by 8.
The volunteers can calculate the revenue earned from selling the hot dogs at each game using the expression -8x2 + 54x + 140, where x is the number of $1 increases in price

Answer:

x is the number of $1 increase in the price.

If there is no increase, then the total money earned is

2 × 70 = 140

If there is $1 increase, then the total money earned is

(2 + 1) × [70 - 8(1)]

If there is $2 increase, then the total money earned is

(2 + 2) × [70 - 8(2)]

If we continue the pattern, for x times $1 increase, total money earned is

(2 + x)(70 - 8x) =

If we substitute x = 0 in the above equation, we will get

the total money earned = $140.

It means if there is no increase, then the total money earned = 140.

Hence, 140 is the constant term and it represents that there is no increase in price.

A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now, in about how many years w
Mazyrski [523]

6 years

A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now. This is an exponential function, An exponential function is given by:

Let x be the number of years and y be the allowance. The initial allowance is $8, this means at x = 0, y = 8

Since it increases by 20% each year, i.e 100% + 20% = 1 + 0.2 = 1.2. This means that b = 1.2
Therefore:

To find the number of years will it take to reach $20 per month, we substitute y = 20 and find x

x = 6 years to the nearest year

Find the value of k for x^2 - 2kx+7k -12=0 so that they have two equal roots
Alisiya [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 -2kx +7k -12 = 0

two equal roots -->Δ = b^2 -4ac = 4k^2 - 4(7k-12)=0 = 4(k^2 - 7k +12)=4(k-4)(k-3)=0

so k =3 and k =4
