The algebraic expression that represents the number of hours Anna and Tamara traveled the first two days is (2x - 1) hours.

<h3>How to write Algebraic Word Problems?</h3>

We are told that;

On the first day, Anna and Tamara stop for sightseeing and lost 2 hours of travel time.

On the second day, they did not stop for lunch and gained 1 hour.

Now, we are told that x is the number of hours driven per day. Thus, for two days, number of hours driven is expressed as 2x.

Now, since they lost 2 hours on the first day, then total hours travelled is;

2x - 2 hours

On the second day, they gained 1 hour. Thus;

Final total number of hours traveled = 2x - 2 + 1

Final total number of hours traveled = (2x - 1) hours

Thus, we can conclude that the algebraic expression that represents how many hours Anna and Tamara traveled the first two days is (2x - 1) hours.

In Exercises 45–48, let f(x) = (x - 2)2 + 1. Match the<br> function with its graph

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

45) The function corresponds to graph A

46) The function corresponds to graph C

47) The function corresponds to graph B

48) The function corresponds to graph D

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the function f(x) is:

$f(x)=(x-2)^{2}+1$

45)

The function g(x) is given by:

$g(x)=f(x-1)$

using f(x) we can find f(x-1)

$g(x)=((x-1)-2)^{2}+1=(x-3)^{2}+1$

If we take the derivative and equal to zero we will find the minimum value of the parabolla (x,y) and then find the correct graph.

$g(x)'=2(x-3)$

$2(x-3)=0$

$x=3$

Puting it on g(x) we will get y value.

$y=g(3)=(3-3)^{2}+1$

$y=g(3)=1$

<u>Then, the minimum point of this function is (3,1) and it corresponds to (A)</u>

46)

Let's use the same method here.

$g(x)=f(x+2)$

$g(x)=((x+2)-2)^{2}+1$

$g(x)=(x)^{2}+1$

Let's find the first derivative and equal to zero to find x and y minimum value.

$g'(x)=2x$

$0=2x$

$x=0$

Evaluatinf g(x) at this value of x we have:

$g(0)=(x)^{2}+1$

$g(0)=1$

<u>Then, the minimum point of this function is (0,1) and it corresponds to (C)</u>

47)

Let's use the same method here.

$g(x)=f(x)+2$

$g(x)=(x-2)^{2}+1+2$

$g(x)=(x-2)^{2}+3$

Let's find the first derivative and equal to zero to find x and y minimum value.

$g'(x)=2(x-2)$

$0=2(x-2)$

$x=2$

Evaluatinf g(x) at this value of x we have:

$g(2)=(2-2)^{2}+3$

$g(2)=3$

<u>Then, the minimum point of this function is (2,3) and it corresponds to (B)</u>

48)

Let's use the same method here.

$g(x)=f(x)-3$

$g(x)=(x-2)^{2}+1-3$

$g(x)=(x-2)^{2}-2$

Let's find the first derivative and equal to zero to find x and y minimum value.

$g'(x)=2(x-2)$

$0=2(x-2)$

$x=2$

Evaluatinf g(x) at this value of x we have:

$g(2)=(2-2)^{2}-2$

$g(2)=-2$

<u>Then, the minimum point of this function is (2,-2) and it corresponds to (D)</u>

Suppose you always eat a particular brand of cookies out of the standard sized package it comes in from the store. You notice th

Blababa [14]

Answer:

There are 91 cookies in the package of cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameter for the number of cookies are;

The number of cookies left when eating 3 at a time = 1 cookie

The number of cookies left when eating 5 at a time = 1 cookie

The number of cookies left when eating 7 cookies at a time = No cookie leftover

Let 'n' represent the number of cookies in the pack, let 'a', 'b', and 'c' be the multiples of 3s, 5s, and 7s in 'n', respectively, we have;

The number of cookies in the pack, n < 100

Therefore, we have;

3·a = n - 1

5·b = n - 1

7·c = n

∴ n - 1 is a multiples of 3 and 5 less than 100 which are;

15, 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90

Therefore, the possible values of 'n' are'

n = n - 1 + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16, 30 + 1 = 31, 45 + 1 = 46, 60 + 1 = 61, 75 + 1 = 75, 90 + 1 = 91

Multiples of 7 includes;

7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, 84, 91, and 98

Therefore, n = 91 which is the number that appear simultaneously in both search

The number of cookies in a package = 91 cookies

The weights of red delicious apples are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 9 Ounces and a standard deviation of 0

Simora [160]

Answer:

The mean of W is 55 ounces.

The standard deviation of W is 4.33 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X: weight of a red delicious apple, and B: the weight of the box and packing material.

The distribution that will represent W: the total weight of the packaged 5 randomly selected apples will be also normally distributed.

Applying the property of the mean: $E(aX)=aE(X)$ , the mean of W will be:

$\mu_W=E(W)=E(5X+B)=5E(X)+E(B)=5*9+10=45+10=55$

Applying the property of the variance: $V(aX+b)=a^2V(X)$ , the variance of W will be:

$\sigma^2_W=V(W)=V(5X+B)=5^2V(X)+V(B)=25*0.75+0=18.75$

The mean standard deviation of W will be the squared root of V(W):

$\sigma_W=\sqrt{V(W)}=\sqrt{18.75}=4.33$

The mean of W is 55 ounces.

The standard deviation of W is 4.33 ounces.

A line passes through the point (-2, 3) and has a slope of -2. What is the equation of the line?

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

y = -2x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

slope intercept form is y = mx +b

m = slope, b = y intercept

point is given as ordered pair (x,y)

plug in slope into y=......

y= -2x+b

plug in the point

3 = -2 * (-2) + b

3= 4 +b subtract 4 on each side

b = -1

y = -2x -1
