Please help I don’t understand number 16

Allisa [31]3 years ago

Let's go step by step:

a) You are given four couples of x and y values which model the relationship between the number of drinks and their cost. So, the couple (x,y)=(0,0) means that if you buy zero drinks, you spend no money. That makes sense. The next information we have is (x,y) = (2,3), which means that two drinks cost 3 dollars, and so on.

So, you simply need to draw on the grid the four points

(0,0),\ (2,3),\ (4,6),\ (6,9)

b) The domain is the set of inputs. Since we only know the value of the function on four different points (we know the price for 0,2,4 and 6 drinks), the domain is discrete. In fact, a continuous domain must contain an interval (for example, [1,2] is a continuous domain), whereas if you pick a certain number of points (like in this case: we picked 0,2,4 and 6), the domain is discrete.

c) Once the points are drawn on the grid, you can see that they all lie on the same line. To find that line, we will only need two of those points (once two points are fixed, there is only one line passing through them). In general, the equation of the line passing through P = (P_x,P_y) and Q = (Q_x,Q_y) is

\cfrac{x-P_x}{Q_x-P_x} = \cfrac{y-P_y}{Q_y-P_y}

Let's choose, for example, the first two points. The equation is

\cfrac{x-0}{2-0} = \cfrac{y-0}{3-0} \iff \cfrac{x}{2} = \cfrac{y}{3} \iff y=\cfrac{3}{2}x

d) Now that we know the equation of the line, we can compute the cost of any number of drinks: the equation of the line is a function that associates a cost, y, with every possible number of drinks, x.

Of course, some associations will be odd - we can compute the cost of \sqrt{2} drink, but what would it mean?

Anyway, the question about the cost of two drinks seems more than reasonable, so let's see which y value is associate with the particular x value of 2:

y = \cfrac{3}{2} x \implies y = \cfrac{3}{2}\cdot 2 = 3

So, two drinks cost 3 dollars.

3+{2×(8-4+6)}-5-{9+4-[3×(1-5)]}​
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright all we need to know is to understand our brackets

So 3+{2×(8-4+6)}-5-{9+4-[3×(1-5)]}​

3+20-5-9+4-3(1-5)

Step 2

3+20-5-9+4-3(1-5)  Simplify

18-9+4-3(1-5)

Step 3

18-9+4-3(1-5)

13-3(1-5)

13-(-12) Here is the tricky part (We aren't going to subtract because the brackets multiply the equations

So,

13+12=25

Your answer is 25

(Pythagorean theorem)
White raven [17]
Is there an image of this or something? I’m not sure where S is supposed to be. Is S on the bottom of the box?

Pythagoras theorem is: a^2+b^2=c^2

If it is the bottom of the box you need, then:

a=15, b=4, c=x

15^2+4^2 = 241

c^2 = 241

c = √241

Which can either be written like that or is 15.5241747
Or
15.52 (2 d.p.)

Let me know if that’s the side it meant?

At a local zoo, there are turkeys and chickens. If there at a total of 32 feet, and you count 15 heads, how many turkeys and cat
raketka [301]

Answer: 14 turkeys and a cat

Step-by-step explanation: Getting 32 feet from 15 heads shows that an animal has more than 2 feet. If the 15 heads all belonged to turkeys, we'd have 30 feet (which is 2 short of what was observed). Reducing the number of turkey by 1 and adding a cat balances the number of observed feet. That is, 14 turkeys (with a total of 28 feet) and a cat (with 4 feet). Adding, we have 28+4=32
