A clothing business finds there is a linear relationship between the number of shirts, n ,it can sell and the price, p , it can charge per shirt. In particular, historical data shows that 1000 shirts can be sold at a price of $66, while 10000 shirts can be sold at a price of $48. Give a linear equation in the form p

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: p = [tex]\frac{-n}{500} +68[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number of shirts and p represent the price, the there is a linear relationship between n and p, then the model equation is given as:

p = mn + b, where

m = slope and b is the intercept

From the question, when n = 1000, p = $66

And, when n = 10,000 , p = $48

The formula for finding slope is given as:

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }[/tex]

[tex]y_{1} = 66[/tex]

[tex]y_{2} = 48[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = 1000[/tex]

[tex]x_{2} = 10000[/tex]

substituting the values,

m = [tex]\frac{48-66}{10000-1000}[/tex]

m = [tex]\frac{-18}{9000}[/tex]

m = [tex]\frac{-2}{1000}[/tex]

m = [tex]\frac{-1}{500}[/tex]

The linear equation thus becomes

p = [tex]\frac{-n}{500}+b[/tex]

To find the value of b, substitute  p = 66 and n =1000 into the equation

That is,

66 = [tex]\frac{-1000}{500}+b[/tex]

66 = -2 + b

68 = b

Therefore b = 68

The linear equation is therefore

p = [tex]\frac{-n}{500} +68[/tex]

The length of a rectangle is three more than twice it’s width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 246 cm. Write an equation to find the perimeter and then find the length of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

83 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be L cm and the width be W cm.

L= 2W +3 -----(1)

Perimeter of rectangle= 2(length) +2(width)

2L +2W= 246 -----(2)

Substitute (1) into (2):

2(2W +3) +2W= 246

Expand:

4W +6 +2W= 246

Simplify:

6W +6= 246

Divide both sides by 6:

W +1= 41

W= 41 -1

W= 40

∴ width of the rectangle is 40cm.

Substitute value of W into (1):

L= 2(40).+3

L= 80 +3

L= 83

Thus, the length of the rectangle is 83 cm.

The table shows a set of values for x and y

Answers

a) Assume y = [tex]x^{2}[/tex]

[tex]1b=\frac{k}{1^{2} }[/tex] k = 1b

[tex]y=\frac{1b}{x^{2} }[/tex]

b) y = 25

[tex]x^{2}=\frac{16}{25}[/tex]

[tex]x=\sqrt{\frac{4}{5} ^{2} }[/tex]

x = ±[tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

{ Equation }

y=16/x² is required equation for y in terms of x and x=4/5 when y=25.

What is Equation?

Two or more expressions with an Equal sign is called as Equation.

The table of values are

x         1         2         3         4

y        16        4        16/9      1

Given that y is inversely proportional to square of x.

y=k/x²

Let us consider

y=16 and x=1

16=k/1

k=16.

y=16/x²

So y=16/x² is equation for y in terms of x

b) We need to find value of x when y=25

25=16/x²

Use cross multiplication

x²=16/25

Take square root on both sides

√x²=√16/25

x=±4/5

If x>0 , so x=4/5

Hence y=16/x² is required equation for y in terms of x and x=4/5 when y=25.

I'm having a bit of trouble finding out how to find the Domain of this function. Help please!

Answers

In general, the domain is the set of all x-values for the graph.  

The issue here is that this isn't the graph of a function.  A function has at most one y-value for each x-value and this graph has an infinite number of y-values for the single x-value of 1.

So, either your teacher is wanting you to say the domain is {1}, because that's the only x-value used by the graph, or they're wanting you to say this is a trick question, because this isn't the graph of a function.

The range is the set of all y-values, which is -9<y<9, but again, do they intend this to be a trick question?

Step-by-step explanation:

Here to form an equation you must add all the money that she earned and subtract the money that she had to spend We dont know how many car washes she did, so we must represent it with a variable, or x.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: Rhett washed 3 cars and earned $50 in tips. y=70x+50

Part B: $75 - $5 = $70 (this is the amount charged minus the amount needed to get the job done per car wash)

the +35 is the tips extra/ constant that will be added after the jobs are done.

x is the number of car washes done

y would be the profit received.

so y = 70x + 35 (profit = value of car wash * number of cars washed + tips)
