1. Claire earned $60 babysitting on Friday night. She spent %s of it at the movies. 1/3 going out to dinner, and she saved the rest. How much money did she
Save?

answer:

(-8,7)

explanation:

we know that  

f

(

−

3

)

=

7

therefore, if we wish to get the output as 7, in the function, we need to have our input to be -3.

looking at the function  

f

(

x

+

5

)

, what should the value of x be, such that the input in the function becomes 7?

we simply equate the terms,

x

+

5

=

−

3

x

=

−

8

thus, the point on the new function would be  

(

−

8

,

7

)

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
