The length that a hanging spring stretches varies directly with the weight placed at the end of the spring. If a weight of 15lb

15⁢lb stretches a certain spring 19in. 19⁢in. , how far will the spring stretch if the weight is increased to 30lb 30⁢lb ? (Leave the variation constant in fraction form. Round off your final answer to the nearest in.)

Answer: the spring would be stretched by 38 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length that a hanging spring stretches varies directly with the weight placed at the end of the spring. Let L represent the length of the spring and let w represent the weight placed at the end of the spring. Introducing a constant of variation, k, the expression would be

L = kW

If a weight of 15lb stretches a certain spring 19in, the expression would be

19 = 15k

k = 19/15

The equation would be

L = 19w/15

if the weight is increased to 30lb, then the length by which the spring would be stretched is

L = 19 × 30/15

L = 38 inches

A company manufactures and sells shirts. The daily profit the company makes
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

f(-5) = -150

Meaning: If the company sells -5 shirts, they would make a profit of -150 dollars. This interpretation of loss in the context of the problem

f(7) = -30

Meaning: If the company sells 7 shirts, they would make a profit of -30 dollars. This interpretation of loss in the context of the problem

f(10.5) = 5

Meaning: If the company sells 10.5 shirts, they would make a profit of 5 dollars. This interpretation of profit in the context of the problem

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 10x - 100

Required

Fill in the gap

f(-5) = 10 * -5 -100

f(-5) = -50 -100

f(-5) = -150

f(7) = 10 * 7 - 100

f(7) = 70 - 100

f(7) = -30

f(10.5) = 10 * 10.5 - 100

f(10.5) = 105 - 100

f(10.5) = 5

Samantha works at an animal shelter. She decides to track the total number of kittens that are brought in. The
Softa [21]

Answer:

  C) The domain represents the weeks that have passed since Samantha started counting the kittens. The domain is all whole numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells you the independent variable w represents weeks that have passed. "Domain" refers to values the independent variable may have, so choices A or B make no sense here.

Time is measured continuously, and fractions of a week are possible. So, the domain could be <em>non-negative real numbers</em>. However, the answer choice D is "<em>all</em> real numbers", which includes negative numbers for which the function makes no sense.

The domain "all whole numbers" includes non-negative integers. It is reasonable to restrict the domain to non-negative integer numbers of weeks, so answer choice C is the best option.
