Ok this inequality tells you the number of devices you can have before the new plan costs more than the old plan. The new plan expression is $4.50x + $94m = y ( total cost). The old plan is $175m = y (total cost). You can see m (number of months) in both equations, you don't need it this time since we're going to to compare both to one month. Since they're both equal to y you can make them equal to each other. $4.50x + $94 = $175. Now you want to figure when the new plan is less than the old plan you switch the equal sign for a less than sign. $4.50x + $94 < $175; this will help you find the inequality you want. From there just use algebraic steps to find that x has to less than 18 or
x < 18.
C. To find the y-intercept, substitute in 0 for x and solve for y. y-intercept= (0,33)
Tina bought 5 bottles of nail polish and 4 tubes of lip gloss.
1 ) log ( 16 ) 4 = 1/2
Answer: B ) 1/2
2 ) 125 ^( 9 x - 2 ) = 150
9 x - 2 = log ( 125 ) 150
9 x - 2 = 1.038
9 x = 1.038 + 2
9 x = 3.038
x = 3.038 : 9
x = 0.3375
Answer: C ) 0.3375
3 ) log ( 3 x + 2 ) = 3
3 x + 2 = 10^3
3 x + 2 = 1000
3 x = 1000 - 2
3 x = 998
x = 998 / 3
Answer: B ) 998 / 3
