Both problems give you a function in the second column and the x-values. To find out the values of a through f, you need to plug in those x-values into the function and simplify!
You need to know three exponent rules to simplify these expressions:
1)
The
negative exponent rule says that when a
base has a negative exponent, flip the base onto the other side of the
fraction to make it into a positive exponent. For example,

.
2)
Raising a fraction to a power is the same as separately raising the numerator and denominator to that power. For example,

.
3) The
zero exponent rule<span> says that any number
raised to zero is 1. For example,

.
</span>
Back to the Problem:
Problem 1
The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is

. The x-values are:
<span>
1) x = 0</span>Plug this into

to find letter a:

<span>
2) x = 2</span>Plug this into

to find letter b:

<span>
3) x = 4</span>Plug this into

to find letter c:

<span>
Problem 2
</span>The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is

. The x-values are:
<span>
1) x = 0</span>Plug this into

to find letter d:

<span>
2) x = 2
</span>Plug this into

to find letter e:

<span>
3) x = 4
</span>Plug this into

to find letter f:

Answer: the equations are
0.02x + 0.07y = 156
y = 300 + x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the total dollar amount of phone sales that she makes.
Let y represent the the total dollar amount of computer sales that she makes.
Josiah earns a 2% commission on the total dollar amount of all phone sales he makes, and earns a 7% commission on all computer sales. She earned a total of $156 in commission. This means that
0.02x + 0.07y = 156 - - - - - - - - - - -1
Josiah had $300 more in computer sales than in phone sales. This means that
y = 300 + x
<span>D=20+50t
120=20+50t
50t=100
t=2 hours
Domain of t from t=-(2/5)hr to t=2hr. Since they already drove 20 miles.
