A school system is reducing the amount of dumpster loads of trash removed each week. In week 5, there were 60 dumpster loads of

waste removed. In week 10, there were 40 dumpster loads removed. Assume that the reduction in the amount of waste each week is linear. Write an equation in function form to show the amount of trash removed each week. a. f(x) = - 4x + 60. b. f(x) = 4x + 60. c. f(x) = - 4x + 80. d. f(x) = 4x + 80

The correct answer is c) f(x) = -4x+80.

We first find the rate of change, or slope, between points.  The two points we are given are
(5, 60) and (10, 40)

We find the slope using the formula
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (40-60)/(10-5) = -20/5 = -4

Now we put this in point-slope form, which is
y-y₁ = m(x-x₁)
y-60 = -4(x-5)

Using the distributive property,
y-60 = -4*x --4*5
y-60 = -4x+20

Add 60 to both sides:
y-60+60 = -4x+20+60
y = -4x+80

Find the probability that when a fair coin is flipped four times at least 2 heads
salantis [7]
Since the problem states "at least" we need to also find probability of 3 H or 4 H or 5 H

Now find the probability of flipping a head 4 times; \frac{1}{2}⁴
= (1/16) 

Now probability of flipping a head 3 times: (4C3)(1/2)⁴ = 4/16

Probability of flipping a head 2 times; (4C2)(1/2)⁴=6/16 

(1/16)+(4/16)+(6/16)=11/16

Probability of flipping a fair coin 4 times with at least 2 heads is 11/16.

Hope I helped :)

How does adding a solute ( use only one - salt or sugar) effect the time of water to change from a liquid to a solid?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

adding salt makes the water freeze slower and evaporate slower too.

Step-by-step explanation:

While pure water freezes at 0°C (32°F), salt water needs to be colder before it freezes and so it usually takes longer to freeze. The more salt in the water, the lower the freezing point.

Pleaaasseee help!!! BRAINLIEST FOR CORRECT ANSWER!! What is the transformation rule for a translation 3 units right?
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Rule: replace x by x - a where a is the number of units that you want to move right. a must be greater than 0. x - - a  would move left.

Step-by-step explanation:

You want f(x) to move 3 units to the right.

That would mean that  x would be replaced by x - 3.  Just to be sure let's try it.

  • Suppose you have f(x) = x^2 + 6x + 5       It is graphed as the red line
  • Now suppose you want to move 3 units right.
  • It would replaced like f(x - 3) = (x - 3)^2 + 6(x - 3) + 5 which is the blue line
  • Notice nothing else is changed. The blue line looks exactly like the red line except that it is shifted 3 units to the right.

What is the value of x?
kozerog [31]

Answer:

x = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they are vertical angles, the angles are congruent and therefore you can set them equal to each other.

4x + 20 = 3x + 55

Have x on one side of the equation by subtracting 3x from both sides.

x + 20 = 55

Subtract 20 from both sides of the equation.

x = 35
