Party planners recommend that, for every eight guests, two orders of appetizers be provided. Which function reflects this ratio?

y = 4 xy = 1\4 xy = 8 xy = 1\8 x

STEP - BY - STEP EXPLANATION

What to find?

The function that reflects the given ratios given.

Given:

For every eight guests, 2 orders.

To determine the function;

Let y be the number of orders and x be the number of guests.

If for every eight guest, there must be 2 orders, then we will have;

$y=\frac{1}{4}x$

So that, if there are 8 guests, that is; when x=8

$y=\frac{1}{4}(8)=2$

ANSWER

y= 1/4 x

The shapes below are similar. What does x have to be?

laila [671]

I think it is 3.5
if 8 is divided by 4, you get two since they are the same shape, 14 should be divided by 4 as well which is 3.5

Claudia says that she used the GCF to factor the expression 20x + 100xy as 20(x + 5xy). Is she correct? Explain.

Keith_Richards [23]

No, She is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the greatest common factor of the expression 20x + 100xy.

Given expression 20x + 100xy.

Let us factor the expression 20x + 100xy.

Now take the common factor in the expression 20x + 100xy.

The common factor is 20x.

So, 20x + 100xy = 20x( 1+ 5y)

But Claudia says that the greatest common factor is 20(x+5xy).

The GCF is wrong.

So, she is not correct.

Function f is an exponential function. It predicts the value of a famous painting, in thousands of dollars, as a function of the

nalin [4]

Answer:

$y=8 \cdot (\frac{5}{4})^x$

$f(x)=8 \cdot (\frac{5}{4})^x$

or

$f(x)=8 \cdot (1.25)^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to see if the exponential curve is of the form:

$y=a \cdot b^x$ , ( $b\neq 0$ ).

If you are given the $y-$ intercept, then $a$ is easy to find.

It is just the $y-$ coordinate of the $y-$ intercept is your value for $a$ .

(Why? The $y-$ intercept happens when $x=0$ . Replacing $x$ with 0 gives $y=a \cdot b^0=a \cdot 1=a$ . This says when $x=0 \text{ that} y=a$ .)

So $a=8$ .

So our function so far looks like this:

$y=8 \cdot b^x$

Now to find $b$ we need another point. We have two more points. So we will find $b$ using one of them and verify for our resulting equation works for the other.

Let's do this.

We are given $(1,10)$ is a point on our curve.

So when $x=1$ , $y=10$ .

$10=8 \cdot b^1$

$10=8 \cdot b$

Divide both sides by 8:

$\frac{10}{8}=b$

Reduce the fraction:

$\frac{5}{4}=b$

So the equation if it works out for the other point given is:

$y=8 \cdot (\frac{5}{4})^x$

Let's try it. So the last point given that we need to satisfy is $(2,12.5)$ .

This says when $x=2$ , $y=12.5$ .

Let's replace $x$ with 2 and see what we get for $y$ :

$y=8 \cdot (\frac{5}{4})^2$

$y=8 \cdot \frac{25}{16}$

$y=\frac{8}{16} \cdot 25$

$y=\frac{1}{2} \cdot 25}$

$y=\frac{25}{2}$

$y=12.5$

So we are good. We have found an equation satisfying all 3 points given.

The equation is $y=8 \cdot (\frac{5}{4})^x$ .

Which of the following is equivalent to 5x - x + 3x = 30? A 8x = 30 o 7x = 30 с 3x + 5= 30 x = 30

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5x -x + 3x =30, first you combine like terms 5x + 3x-x=30

8x-x =30

8-1=7

7x=30
