The table shows the annual consumption of cheese per person in the United States for selected years in the 20th century. Let x =

number of years since 1900, and y = pounds per person. What cubic model best fits this data? YearPounds Consumed. 19021.959. 19246.373. 19467.29. 198215.817. A. y = 0.00989x3 - 0.0000872x2 + 1.192x + 0.403. B. y = -0.0000872x3 + 0.00989x2 - 0.403x - 1.192. C. y = -0.0000872x3 - 0.00989x2 - 0.403x + 1.192. D. y = 0.0000872x3 - 0.00989x2 + 0.403x + 1.192

To see what model best represents this data we have to plug in the values for x and y:
Model D :
x = 2, y = 1.959
y = 0.0000872 · 2³ - 0.00989 · 2² + 0.403 · 2 + 1.192 = 1.968
....   ...
x = 82,  y = 15.817
y = 0.000873 · 82³ - 0.00989 · 82² + 0.403 · 82 + 1.192 = 15.818
Answer:
D ) y = 0.0000872 x² - 0.00989 x² + 0.403 x + 1.192

Aisha collects 1p coins and 2p coins. 24 of these are 1p coins. The probability of choosing a 2p coin at random is 1/2 How much
sdas [7]

Answer:

Aisha has 24 2p coins and 24 1p coins, then she has in total:

2p*(24) + 1*p*(24) = 48p + 24p = 72p

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that we have a set of N elements in a bag (if the bag is closed and we put our hand inside to grab one element, we could not distinguish them apart), and K of these elements have a given property (for example, these are red).

The probability of selecting at random one of these red elements is equal to the quotient between the number of elements with that property (K) and the total number of elements in the bag (N)

P = K/N

Now let's go to our problem.

We have 24 1p coins.

We have X 2p coins.

Then the total number of coins is: (24 + X)

We know that the probability of choosing at random a 2p coin is then:

P = X/(24 + X)

And we know that this is equal to 1/2

Then:

X/(24 + X) = 1/2

X = (1/2)*(24 + X) = 24/2 + X/2

X = 12 + X/2

X - X/2 = 12

X/2 = 12

X = 2*12 = 24

Then Aisha has 24 2p coins.

Aisha has 24 2p coins and 24 1p coins, then she has in total:

2p*(24) + 1*p*(24) = 48p + 24p = 72p

An online furniture store sells chairs for $150 each and tables for $400 each. The store must sell a minimum of $4900 worth of c
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer: 150c + 400t ≥ 4900

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of chairs sold = c

Let the number of tables sold = t

Price for each chair = $150

Price for each table = $400

The inequality that could represent the number of tables and chairs sold will be:

(150 × c) + (400 × t) ≥ 4900

150c + 400t ≥ 4900

If f(x)=4x^2+1 and g(x) =x^2-5 find (f-g)(x)
docker41 [41]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{(f-g)(x)=3x^2+6}

Step-by-step explanation:

(f-g)(x)=f(x)(x)\\\\\text{substitute}\ f(x)=4x^2+1\ \text{and}\ g(x)=x^2-5\\\\(f-g)(x)=(4x^2+1)-(x^2-5)=4x^2+1-x^2-(-5)=4x^2+1-x^2+5\\\\\text{combine like terms}\\\\(f-g)(x)=(4x^2-x^2)+(1+5)=3x^2+6
