It takes them 12 seconds to eat the whole sausage.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed is the rate of change of distance.

Analysis:

If kitten eats x cm, then puppy will eat 14 - x cm

speed = d/t

speed of kitten = 1/2

speed of puppy = 2/3

1/2 = x/t

2/3 = 14 - x / t

t = 2x--------1

2t = 3(14 - x ) -------- 2

substitute t in equation 2

2(2x) = 3(14 - x)

4x = 42 - 3x

7x = 42

x = 42/7 = 6cm

substitute value of x in equation 1

t = 2(60 = 12 seconds.

In conclusion, it takes the both animals 12 seconds to finish the sausage.

An airline knows that on average about 5 percent of the people who make reservations on a certain flight will not show up. Conse
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Probability that there will be a seat available for every passenger who shows up is 50/50 or 49/50

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is known that 5percent of people who make reservations would not show up.

Therefore 5% of 52 sold ticket is

5/100 x 52 = 2.6

That is 2 or 3 people who make reservations would not show up.

Which means 52 - 2 or 52 - 3 people would show up

50 or 49 people would show up

Since the flight can hold just 50 people

The probability that everyone that shows up would have a seat is therefore =

50/ 50 or 49/50

What are the characteristics of the function f(x)=2(x-4)^5? Check all that apply
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Option B , C , E are characteristics of the function .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : function f(x)=2(x-4)^5.

To find : What are the characteristics of the function .

Solution : We have given that f(x)=2(x-4)^{5}.

By the End Point behavior : if the degree is even and leading coefficient is odd of polynomial of function then left end of graph goes down and right goes up.

Since , Option E is correct.

It has degree 5 therefore, function has 5 zeros and atmost 4 maximua or minimum.

Option C is also correct.

By transformation rule it is vertical stretch and shift to right (B )

Therefore, Option B , C , E are characteristics of the function .
