Noel is a computer repairman. To fix a computer, he charges a customer $40 per hour, plus a fixed fee of $15 for the service call, as represented by the function f(x) = 40x + 15. In the equation, what is represented by the variable x?

Step-by-step explanation:

4ox+15=60min

40x=60-15

40x=45

40   40

x=1.125

test it 40(1,125)+15=60

, and

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be

, and for

the formula for the equation of a circle is (x – h)2+ (y – k)2 = r2, where (h, k) represents the coordinates of the center of the circle, and r represents the radius of the circle. if a circle is tangent to the x-axis at (3,0), this means it touches the x-axis at that point.
