Answer:
Her expenses are $25 per week.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :Jessica earns a commission on each sale but has to pay for her own expenses.
She writes the equation of the function like this: 
, where x is the number of doors she knocks on during the week and E(x) is her earnings for the week in dollars.
To Find: Which of the following are reasonable interpretations of the y-intercept of Jessica's function?
Solution:
x is the number of doors she knocks on during the week
E(x) is her earnings for the week in dollars.
Calculate y intercept
Substitute x = 0
Since E(x) is her total earning after clearing the payment of all her expenses.
So, 25 is her expenses per week.
Since we are given that she need to pay her expenses .
So, if there is no sale , still she need to pay expenses.
Thus the reasonable interpretations of the y-intercept of Jessica's function is Her expenses are $25 per week.
Answer:
Option D. 5890.5 feet²
Step-by-step explanation:
An individual head of a sprinkler system covers a circular are of grass with a radius of 25 feet.
Yard has three sprinkler heads that each cover circular area with no overlap.
We have to calculate the approximate area watered by these 3 sprinkler heads.
Area covered by one sprinkler = π×r² = π×(25)² = 625π feet²
Therefore area covered by three sprinkler heads = 3 × 625π = 5892.85 feet²
which matches the approximate value of Option D. 5890.5 feet²
Answer:
$ 24.30
Step-by-step explanation:
1. $32.40 multiplied by 15 which would equal 486
2. Then you would do 486 divided by 20 which would equal $24.3
3. Then you just add the zero the the end
146 minutes in total. One student =3 minutes. So then 42x3= 126. Class picture is 10x2=20. So then add both of them you get 146.
Answer: Laura cannot find the number, as explained below.
Explanation:
1) The question is aimed to determine the number that Laura is trying to come up with.
Such question is solved by stating an algebraic equation from the word statement, which is done step by step.
2) Using the name x for the unknown, the expression "three less than 8 times the number" is translated to: 8x - 3
3) The expression "half of 16 times the number after it was increased by 1" is translated to: (1/2) (16x + 1)
4) Finally, since they are equal, you can set the equation:
8x - 3 = (1/2) (16x + 1)
5) And solve for x in this way:
i) Distributive property:
8x - 3 = 8x + 1/2
ii) At this stage you can see that the both 8x terms (on the left and on the right) cancel each other, which leads to the impossibility to determine the value of the unknown:
-3 = 1/2 which is alwasy false, meaning that the equation has no solution.
