Answer:

<u>150</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

⇒ The numbers can be denoted as <u>x</u>, <u>3x</u>, and <u>5x</u>

<u />

=============================================================

Solving :

⇒ It mentions their sum is 270

⇒ x + 3x + 5x = 270

⇒ 9x = 270

⇒ x = 30

=============================================================

Largest number :

⇒ 5x

⇒ 5(30)

⇒ <u>150</u>

<u>Answer</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

  • Largest number is 150.

<u>Step</u><u> </u><u>by</u><u> step</u><u> explaination</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

Here we have been given with the ratio of three numbers that is 1 : 3 : 5. So let us assume a common factor for them , we are assuming it as y.

Therefore,

  • First number = 1 → 1 × y = 1y
  • Second number = 3 → 3 × y = 3y
  • Third number = 5 → 5 × y = 5y

Sum of them is 270 :

>> 1y + 3y + 5y = 270

>> 4y + 5y = 270

>> 9y = 270

>> y = 270 / 9

>> y = 90 / 3

>> y = 30

Henceforth, value of y is 30.

★ Finding out first number :-

>> First number = 1y

>> First number = 1 × 30

>> First number = 30

★ Finding out second number :-

>> Second number = 3y

>> Second number = 3 × 30

>> Second number = 90

★ Finding out third number :-

>> Third number = 5y

>> Third number = 5 × 30

>> Third number = 150

The scatter plot below shows the relationship between the number of hours spent jogging and the number of minutes spent stretchi
Juliette [100K]
They are looking for the y intercept. The line of best fit passes the y axis at 1. the y axis is labeled minutes stretching. therefore the answer is 

A. <span>1 minute; the number of minutes students stretch when they do not jog</span>

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

transform the parent graph of f(x) = ln x        into f(x) = - ln (x - 4)  by shifting the parent graph 4 units to the right and reflecting over the x-axis

(???, 0): 0 = - ln (x - 4)

            \frac{0}{-1} = \frac{-ln (x - 4)}{-1}

            0 = ln (x - 4)

            e^{0} = e^{ln (x - 4)}

             1 = x - 4

          <u> +4 </u>  <u>    +4 </u>

             5 = x

(5, 0)

(???, 1): 1 = - ln (x - 4)

            \frac{0}{-1} = \frac{-ln (x - 4)}{-1}

            1 = ln (x - 4)

            e^{1} = e^{ln (x - 4)}

             e = x - 4

          <u> +4 </u>   <u>    +4 </u>

         e + 4 = x

          6.72 = x

(6.72, 1)

Domain: x - 4 > 0

                <u>  +4 </u>  <u>+4  </u>

               x       > 4

(4, ∞)

Vertical asymptotes: there are no vertical asymptotes for the parent function and the transformation did not alter that

No vertical asymptotes

*************************************************************************

transform the parent graph of f(x) = 3ˣ        into f(x) = - 3ˣ⁺⁵  by shifting the parent graph 5 units to the left and reflecting over the x-axis

Domain: there is no restriction on x so domain is all real number

(-∞, ∞)

Range: there is a horizontal asymptote for the parent graph of y = 0 with range of y > 0.  the transformation is a reflection over the x-axis so the horizontal asymptote is the same (y = 0) but the range changed to y < 0.

(-∞, 0)

Y-intercept is when x = 0:

f(x) = - 3ˣ⁺⁵

      = - 3⁰⁺⁵

      = - 3⁵

      = -243

Horizontal Asymptote: y = 0  <em>(explanation above)</em>

A jar at the fishing shop holds 72 worms. A cup holds 8 worms. How many times
Anettt [7]

Answer:

9 times. 72/8=t or 72=8t.

Explanation:

I'm afraid the answer choices are slightly mixed up, but acceptable answers would probably include 72/8=t or 72=8t. Simply put the two numbers into a fraction (72/8) to get how many times larger or smaller the thing is. In this case, it would be 9 times as many worms.
