Answer:

1000 balls

(there are infinitely many solutions to this question; you can scale up 1000, use a different total, etc.)

Step-by-step explanation:

there are, of course, multiple possible numbers,

but the easiest way is to go with 1000, because we can say 375 / 1000 and 400 / 1000

(0.4 + 0.275 + 0.225 = 1)

400 out of 1000 balls are red (400/1000 = 4/10 = 0.4)

375 out of 1000 balls are green (375/1000 = 3.75/10 = 0.375)

225 out of 1000 balls are yellow (225/1000 = 2.25/10 = 0.225)

the question never gave detail as to if the answer should be the <em>lowest</em><em> </em>number of possible balls, so this value is possible.

So, a possible number of balls in this bag is 1000.

Answer:

  (-2, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is "increasing" when its graph goes up to the right, the slope is positive. At a turning point (maximum or minimum), the function is neither increasing nor decreasing.

<h3>Increasing interval</h3>

The graph has a minimum at x = -2. To the left of that point, the graph goes up to the left, which is the same as down to the right (decreasing).

To the right of x = -2, the graph goes up to the right (increasing). It continues to increase for all values of x > 2. The interval where the function is increasing is said to be ...

  -2 < x < ∞

The lack of "or equal to" tells you the interval is "open" and is delimited by parentheses in interval notation:

  increasing; (-2, ∞)

Point (-4,-8) Reflected across the x-axis
kkurt [141]

Answer:

(-4 , 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-axis is the horizontal line. In this case, if you are reflecting over the x-axis, you are flipping the sign of the y-coordinate.

Same with the y-axis. If you are reflecting over the y-axis, you are flipping the sign of the x-coordinate.

In this case, reflect across the x-axis. Flip the sign of the y: (x , y)

(-4 , -8) reflected over the x-axis is (-4 , 8).

The number of rows in an auditorium can be represented by the function f(x) = 80x. The number of seats in each row can be repres
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

h(x) = 80x^2 + 560x

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the function h(x), that represents the total number of seats, we just need to multiply the functions f(x) (number of rows) and g(x) (number of seats per row):

h(x) = f(x) * g(x)

h(x) = 80x * (x+7)

h(x) = 80x*x + 80x*7

h(x) = 80x^2 + 560x

So the function that represents the total number of seats is:

h(x) = 80x^2 + 560x
