Answer:
The illustration provided shows the graph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ------> number of times Emma cuts the grass
y ------> hours Emma spends babysitting
it is known that
------> represents the inequality of the scenario
The solution is the shaded region above the solid line where both x and y are positive
The equation for the solid line is represented as 
The slope of the line is negative 
The y-intercept is at the point
(the y-value when x is zero)
The x-intercept is at
(the x-value when y equals zero)
therefore
The illustration provided shows the graph
The area calculation for the shaded section, as seen in the attached diagram, involves subtracting the area of the kite from that of the rectangle. The area of the rectangle is calculated as (3x+x)*(x+x), which simplifies to 4x*2x, equating to 8x². The area of the kite is determined using the formula (1/2)*[d1*d2], where d1 and d2 represent the diagonals, specifically d1=4x and d2=2x. Therefore, the area of the kite becomes (1/2)*[4x*2x], leading to 4x². Consequently, the area of the shaded region can be computed as 8x²-4x², resulting in 4x². Thus, the solution is 4x².
Step-by-step answer:
The base of the exponential function is set at 1.29 for a period of 7 days, which is expressed as
f(x) = 86*(1.29)^x
To determine the daily rate, divide the variable x by 7 (keeping x as the number of weeks), resulting in
f(x) = 86*1.29^(x/7)
Applying the exponent rule, b^(x/a) = b^(x*(1/a)) = (b^(1/a))^x
we can simplify by setting b=1.29, a=7 to arrive at
f(x) = 86*(1.29^(1/7))^x
f(x) = 86*(1.037)^x since evaluating 1.29^(1/7) yields approximately 1.037
Rounding 1.037 to 1.04 gives a (VERY) rough estimate function
f(x) = 86 * (1.04^x)
1.04 is only an approximation because 1.04^7 is expected to return 1.29, it actually results in 1.316; meanwhile, 1.037^7 returns 1.2896, which is much closer to 1.29.
