Answer:

The absolute value parent function is symmetric with respect to the y-axis.  

The graphs of f(x) = 2|–x| and f(x) = 2|x| are identical because the absolute value of negative x is a reflection across the y-axis.  

If you substitute the three given points into both functions, they produce true statements.

Oscar has received a $4,000 gift and is looking for a bank to start a savings account. Which option
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The best option for him would be a real interest rate of 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nominal interest rate is the one that represents the percentage of increase of the money that is in a certain investment, without discounting the depreciation due to inflation or the payment of taxes.

On the other hand, the real interest rate is the one that represents the real increase in the money invested, after discounting inflation and any taxes to be paid.

Therefore, the best option for Oscar would be to invest his $ 4,000 in a savings account with a real interest rate of 5% per year.

21. Randy owns a computer store. In 1990, he sold 150 monitors. In 2000, he sold 900
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

y=75x+150

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y represent the number of monitors sold.

Given:

x is the number of years since 1990.

So, for the year 1990, x=0.

For the year 2000, 10 years passed. So, x=10.

Now, monitors sold in 1990 are 150. So, at x=0,y=150

Monitors sold in 2000 are 900. So, at x=10,y=900

Thus, the two points are (0,150) and (10,900).

The slope of a line with points (x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2})  is given as:

Slope, m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

For the points (0,150) and (10,900), the slope is given as:

Slope, m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\ m=\frac{900-150}{10-0}\\ m=75

Now, the y-intercept is the point where x=0. So, the point (0,150) has x value as 0.

So, the y-intercept is 150.

Equation of a line in slope-intercept form is given as:

y=mx+b

Where, m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Here, m=75 and b=150.

Therefore, the equation that represents the above data is given as:

y=75x+150

Kathi and Robert Hawn had a pottery stand at the annual Skippack Craft Fair. They sold some of their pottery at the original pri
grigory [225]

Answer:27 pieces were sold at the original price.

63 pieces were sold at the new price

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pieces of pottery that was sold at the original price.

Let y represent the number of pieces of pottery that was sold at the new price.

They sold some of their pottery at the original price of​ $9.50 for each​ piece. This means that the amount that they got from selling x pieces of pottery at the original price would be 9.5x

They later decreased the price of each piece by​ $2. This means that the new price was 9.5 - 2 = $7.5

This means that the amount that they got from selling x pieces of pottery at the new price would be 7.5y

If they sold all 90 pieces and took in ​$729​, then the equations are

x + y = 90

9.5x + 7.5y = 729 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 90 - y into equation 1, it becomes

9.5(90 - y) + 7.5y = 729

855 - 9.5y + 7.5y = 729

- 9.5y + 7.5y = 729 - 855

- 2y = - 126

y = - 126/- 2 = 63

Substituting y = 63 into x = 90 - y, it becomes

x = 90 - 63 = 27

dsp73

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that you and a friend play a game where you each toss a balanced coin.

If the upper faces on the coins are both tails, you win $1;

if the faces are both heads, you win $2;

if the coins do not match (one shows a head, the other a tail), you lose $1 (win (−$1)).

Let Y be the amount won

Then Y can take values as 1,2 and -1

P(Y=1) =P(TT) = 0.25\\P(Y=2) = P(HH) = 0.25\\P(Y=-1) = P(HT)+P(TH) = 0.5

The above is the probability distribution for Y.
