Answer:

Approx 8000 to 10,000 taste buds are present and these contains five taste receptors.

Step-by-step explanation:

Taste buds have microscopic hairs called microvilli which is very sensitive. These tiny hairs sends message to the brain about various tastes. So we may know different taste like it is salty, sour, bitter or sweet.The human tongue have 8000 to 10,000(approx.) taste buds are present.

There are five taste receptors are present on the taste buds like sweet, salty, bitter, sour and umami. Both sour and salty taste detected through ion channel, while sweet, bitter and umami taste is detected by G-proteins coupled taste receptor.

A frame is 9in wide and 6 in tall. If it reduces to a width of 3 in then how tall will it be?

Anarel [89]

Given

A frame is 9in wide and 6 in tall.

If it reduces to a width of 3 in

Find out the how tall will it be .

To proof

As given in the question

A frame is 9in wide and 6 in tall.

reduces to a width of 3 in

now as shown in the table given below

This table shows that the width of a frame is directly proportional to the height (tall) of the frame.

let us assume that the height of the frame after reduces width to 3in be = x

than the equation becomes

$\frac{original\ width}{original\ height} = \frac{reduces\ width }{reduces\ height}$

put the all the value

we get

$\frac{9}{6} = \frac{3}{x}$

solve the above

$x = \frac{6\times3}{9}$

x = 2in

therefore 2in tall will be the frame .

Hence proved

1. Maryann is tracking the change in her vertical jump over 6 months. Use the table to write a linear function that models her j

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Part 1) Option A. f of x equals one half times x plus 16

Part 2) Option A. x = 5

Part 3) Option C. x − 4y = −9

Part 4) Option A. The number of rides is the independent variable, and the total cost is the dependent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

Let

x -----> the number of months

y ----> vertical jump in inches

step 1

Find the slope

we have the points

(0,16) and (2,17)

$m=(17-16)/(2-0)=\frac{1}{2}$

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=\frac{1}{2}$

$b=16$ -----> the point (0,16) is the y-intercept

substitute

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+16$

convert to function notation

f(x)=y

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x+16$

Part 2) What is the equation of a line that contains the points (5, 0) and (5, −2)?

step 1

Find the slope

we have the points

(5, 0) and (5, −2)

$m=(-2-0)/(5-5)=\frac{-2}{0}$

the slope is undefined

This is a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis)

therefore

The equation is

x=5

Part 3) Choose the equation that represents a line that passes through points (−1, 2) and (3, 1)

step 1

Find the slope

we have the points

(−1, 2) and (3, 1)

$m=(1-2)/(3+1)=-\frac{1}{4}$

step 2

Find the equation of the line into point slope form

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$m=-\frac{1}{4}$

$point\ (3, 1)$

substitute

$y-1=-\frac{1}{4}(x-5)$

Convert to standard form

Multiply by 4 both sides to remove the fraction

$4y-4=-(x-5)$

$4y-4=-x+5$

$x-4y=-4-5$

$x-4y=-9$

Part 4) Jewels has $6.75 to ride the ferry around Connecticut. It will cost her $0.45 every time she rides. Identify the dependent variable and independent variable in this scenario

we know that

The <u>independent variable</u> is the variable whose change isn’t affected by any other variable (An example the age and time)

The <u>dependent variable</u> it’s what changes as a result of the changes to the independent variable (An example of a dependent variable is how tall you are at different ages. The dependent variable (height) depends on the independent variable (age))

Let

x ----> the number of rides

y ----> the total cost in dollars

In this problem

The independent variable or input is the number of rides

The dependent variable or output is the total cost

Renting a room at the Willow tree resort costs $125 for 2 people. Each additional person is $25. Write an expression that shows

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Let C be the cost for the people staying

if n <= 2 ; C = $125

If n >2 ; C = $125 + $25 * (n-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number of people is more than two, we need to add $25 for each of them.

Since n will be the number of people staying, we need to make sure that we substract two from this term to avoid overcharging the guests when there is less than two people.

(n-2) is the term that should be multiplied by a factor of 25.
