The local ice cream shop is deciding whether or not to hire a new worker. The shop must pay the worker hourly and cover a daily cost for insurance. The cost to pay an hourly worker for one day is represented by the function y=10x+30 where x=hours. What is the slope and what does it represent?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Options:

30; it represents the hourly wage for the worker
30; it represents the cost for insurance
10; it represents the hourly wage for the worker
10; it represents the cost for insurance

The answer is the third option "10; it represents the hourly wage for the worker." 10 would be the slope and if x represents hours then 10 would represent the amount of money the worker would get every hour.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the local ice cream shop is deciding whether or not to hire a new worker. The shop must pay the worker hourly and cover a daily cost for insurance. The cost to pay an hourly worker for one day is represented by the function y=10x+30 where x=hours.

We find that this is of the form y = mx+B where

m=10 and B =30

Hence slope =m =10

Answer is 10

and it represents the rate of change of y for a unit change in x.

Where does f(x)=3x2-11x-4 intersect the x axis?The negative x-intercept is at (___,0)
The positive x-intercept is at (___,0)

Answers

we know that

The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of the function is equal to zero.

in this problem we have

$f(x)=3x^(2)-11x-4$

To find the x-intercepts equate the function to zero

$3x^(2)-11x-4=0$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$3x^(2)-11x=4$

Factor the leading coefficient

$3(x^(2)-(11x/3))=4$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

$3(x^(2)-(11x/3)+(121/36))=4+(121/12)$

$3(x^(2)-(11x/3)+(121/36))=(169/12)$

$(x^(2)-(11x/3)+(121/36))=(169/36)$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x-(11/6))^(2)=(169/36)$

square root both sides

$(x-(11/6))=(+/-)(13/6)$

$x=(11/6)(+/-)(13/6)$

$x=(11/6)+(13/6)=24/6=4$

$x=(11/6)-(13/6)=-2/6=-1/3$

therefore

the answer is

The negative x-intercept is at $(-1/3,0)$

The positive x-intercept is at $(4,0)$

The negative x-intercept is (-1/3, 0) and the positive x-intercept is (4,0)

Intercepts

Given the expression 3x²-11x-4, the x intercept occur that the point where f(x) = 0.

The function will become 3x²-11x-4 = 0

factorising expressions

Factorize the result to have:

3x² -12x + x - 4 = 0

Group the function to have;

(3x²-12x)+(x-4) = 0

Factor out the GCF

3x(x-4) + 1(x-4) = 0

(3x+1) (x-4) = 0

Get the x-intercepts

3x+1 = 0

x = -1/3

Hence the negative x-intercept is (-1/3, 0)

Also, x-4 = 0

x = 4

Hence the positive x-intercept is (4, 0)

Solve the equation 3x + 4y = 16 for x.

Answers

Simplifying
3x + -4y = 16

Solving
3x + -4y = 16

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '4y' to each side of the equation.
3x + -4y + 4y = 16 + 4y

Combine like terms: -4y + 4y = 0
3x + 0 = 16 + 4y
3x = 16 + 4y

Divide each side by '3'.
x = 5.333333333 + 1.333333333y

Simplifying
x = 5.333333333 + 1.333333333y
