Lin got a $50 gift card to an online music store. She uses the gift card to buy an album for $9.99. She also wants to use the gift card to buy some songs. Each song costs $1.29. Which of these inequalities describes this situation, where n is the number of songs Lin wants to buy?

b)9.99+1.29n≤50

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, this question is incomplete. To complete the question, the options are:

a)9.99+1.29n≥50

b)9.99+1.29n≤50

c)9.99−1.29n≥50

d)9.99−1.29n≤50

The correct option is b)9.99+1.29n≤50 , because the sum of the price of the album ($9.99) and the songs ($1.29 n) must be less or equal to the value of the gift card ($50).

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

the range of a function is the range of y-values for which it is defined, or exists. given that we are only looking at the y-values, we can already discount the first two answers as they deal with the domain of the function (range of x-values).

now, what we need to do is find the smallest and highest y-values for which the function is defined. if you'd like, you could take a ruler and start at the very bottom of the graph, find the lowest point, then move the ruler higher and higher until you reach the highest point. doing so either in your head or with an actual ruler, we can see that the lowest y-value is -5 and the highest y-value is -1.

the question now remains as to whether they are included in the range (fourth answer) or excluded (third answer). the key here is to recognise whether they are marked with an open or a closed circle. since both (-2, -5) and (2, -1) are marked with a closed circle, they are points that exist on the graph and are thus included in the range (note that if they were marked with an open circle like (4, -2) then that would signify that there is a break in the graph at that point).

thus, the fourth answer, (y | -5 ≤ y ≤ -1), is correct.

also note that usually it is good practice to scan your eye inbetween the highest and lowest point for any breaks in the graph - we do have one here at (4, -2), however -2 is still included in the range because there is another point that is included in the graph with the same y-value, ie. point (1, -2).

i hope that but if you require any further explanation don't hesitate to comment below.

  y= -3x is the required function.

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given a table:

x             y

0             0

1             -3

3             -9

-2             6

we can see that the values of y is -3 times the value of x

hence, the function would be: y= -3x.

put the values of x will give the same y as in the table that means function is satisfying the given table.
