Answer: Hello there!

Here we have two functions:

f(x) = 3x

g(x) = 7x + 6

We want to see in what month f(x) is bigger than g(x)

or

f(x) > g(x)

3x > 7x + 6

we can subtract 7x in both sides:

3x  - 7x > 7x + 6 - 7x

-4x > 6

Now, this means that x should be a negative number, this has no sense because if we are measuring if we put a negative number there, then we will end up with a negative number of population.

Then there is no month where f(x) is greater than g(x)

This also can be seen because g(x) has a positive intercept when g(x) has an intercept equal to zero, and because g(x) has a bigger slope, which means that grows faster than f(x) as the months passes.

3x> 7x+6

subtract 7x from each side

-4x > 6

divide by -4  which causes the inequality sign to flip

x < -6/4

x < 2/3

The f(x) population stops being larger in the first month

What is the y-intercept of the function,represented by the table of values below?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

So the y-intercept is not given by your table because there is no x that is listed as 0.

But don't fret; we can still find it.

Let's see if the function is linear by seeing if we have the same slope per two points in the table.

For the first pair ( the points (-2,16) and (1,4) ), x increased by 3 and the y decreased by 12 so the slope there is -12/3=-4.

Now looking at the next pair ( the points (1,4) and (2,0) ), x increased by 1 while y decreased by 4 so the slope is -4/1=-4.

So the function appears to be linear.

So the slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

We already found the slope from earlier which is m=-4.

So the equation so far is y=-4x+b.

Now to find b, the y-intercept, we need to use a point (x,y) on the line along with y=-4x+b.

Let's see my favorite on the list of points is (2,0).

y=-4x+b with (x,y)=(2,0)

0=-4(2)+b

0=-8+b

8=b

So the y-intercept is 8.

A consumer is considering two different purchasing options for the car of their choice. The first option, which is leasing, is d
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

  • y=250x+4000
  • y=400x+400

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

  • x represents the number of months of ownership; and
  • y represents the total paid for the car after ‘x' months.

<u>First Option (Leasing)</u>

250x - y + 4000 = 0

Expressing the equation in the Slope-Intercept Form y=mx+b, we have:

y=250x+4000

<u>Second Option (Financing)</u>

$400 for 0 months of ownership, (0,400), and $4400 for 10 months of ownership, (10, 4400).

First, we determine the slope of the line joining (0,400) and (10,4400)

Slope, m= \dfrac{4400-400}{10-0}= \dfrac{4000}{10}=400

We have:

y=400x+b

When y=400, x=0

400=400(0)+b

b=400

Therefore, the Slope-Intercept Form of the second option is:

y=400x+400

<u>Significance</u>

  • In the first option, there is a down payment of $4000 and a monthly payment of $250.
  • In the second option, there is a down payment of $400 and a monthly payment of $400.

<u>Part B</u>

We notice from the graph that after 24 months, the cost for leasing and financing becomes the same ($10,000). Therefore, a consumer will be better off financing since the downpayment for leasing is higher.

<u>i.e </u>

  • When x=0, y=$4000 for leasing
  • When x=0, y=$400 for financing

a ball is thrown with a slingshot at a velocity of 110ft/sec at an angle of 20 degrees above the ground from a height of 4.5 ft.
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

t=2.47\ s  

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that models the height of the ball in feet as a function of time is

h(t) = h_0 + s_0t -16t ^ 2

Where h_0 is the initial height, s_0 is the initial velocity and t is the time in seconds.

We know that the initial height is:

h_0 = 4.5\ ft

The initial speed is:

s_0 = 110sin(20\°)\\\\s_0 = 37.62\ ft/s

So the equation is:

h (t) = 4.5 + 37.62t -16t ^ 2

The ball hits the ground when when h(t) = 0

So

4.5 + 37.62t -16t ^ 2 = 0

We use the quadratic formula to solve the equation for t

For a quadratic equation of the form

at^2 +bt + c

The quadratic formula is:

t=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}

In this case

a= -16\\\\b=37.62\\\\c=4.5

Therefore

t=\frac{-37.62\±\sqrt{(37.62)^2 -4(-16)(4.5)}}{2(-16)}

t_1=-0.114\ s\\\\t_2=2.47\ s  

We take the positive solution.

Finally the ball takes 2.47 seconds to touch the ground

Kryger [21]

Answer:

2.35 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment for visual understanding.

We are told that the library is 1.75 miles directly north from the school and the park is 0.6 miles directly south of the school.

To find distance between library and park we will add distance of library from school to the distance of park from school.

(1.75+0.6)\text{ miles}=2.35\text{ miles}  

Therefore, library is 2.35 miles away from park.
