The number of bacteria (b) in a batch of refrigerated food is given by the function b(t) = 20t2 − 70t + 300, where t is the temp

erature of the food in degrees Fahrenheit. The function t(h) = 2h + 3 gives the temperature of the food h hours after it is removed from refrigeration. Which expression correctly represents the number of bacteria (b) in the food as a function of the number of hours (h) the food is unrefrigerated?

We want to combine b(t) and t(h) to create a function that described the number of bacteria, b, as a function of time, h. 
This function can be called b(t(h)), or b(h).
Consider the function b(t), or bacteria as a function of temperature. 
b(t) = 20t² - 70t +300
This describes the number of bacteria, given the temperature.

t(h) described the temperature as a function of time, specifically hours after refrigeration:
t(h) = 2h + 3

Since the time h can tell us the temperature t, and the temperature t can tell us the # of bacteria b, we can create a function that tells us the number of bacteria, b, given hours following refrigeration, h.

To do this, we plug t(h) in for every t in the b(t) function:
b(t(h)) = 20 (2h+3)² - 70(2h+3) + 300
We can also call this function b(h), since we now can express b as a function of h.

Simplify the function:
b(h) = 20 (4h²+12h+9)-14h-210+300
b(h) = 80h² +100h +270

The Answer is B

Given:
b(t) = 20t² - 70t + 300
t(h) = 2h + 3

Therefore
b(h) = 20(2h + 3)² - 70(2h + 3) + 300
       = 20(4h² + 12h + 9) - 140h - 210 + 300
       = 80h² + 240h + 180 - 140h - 210 + 300
       = 80h² + 100h + 270

Answer:  b(h) = 80h² + 100h + 270

The win-loss record for a football team is 15 wins and 9 losses. What percent of their games did they win?
Burka [1]

Answer:

62.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find percentage of win, we simply need to find the number of games won and divide it by the total number of games played. Then we will multiply that answer by 100 (to get percentage).

So,

Number of games won = 15

Total number of games = 15 + 9 = 24

Percentage of Win = \frac{15}{24}=0.625=62.5

Answer is 62.5%
