Sara wants to find the input value that produces the same output for the functions represented by the tables. A table headed with f(x) equals negative 0.5 x plus 2, with 2 columns and 8 rows. The first column, x, has the entries, negative 3, negative 2, negative 1, 0, 1, 2, 3. The second row, f(x), has the entries 3.5, 3, 2.5, 2, 1.5, 1, 0.5. A table headed with g(x) equals 2 x minus 3, with 2 columns and 8 rows. The first column, x, has the entries, negative 3, negative 2, negative 1, 0, 1, 2, 3. The second row, g(x), has no entries.
What is the input value that produces the same output value in both charts?

step-by-step explanation:

40% off the regular price is the correct answer.

step-by-step explanation:

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
