8 seconds
The hardest part of this is setting up the equation -- the calculations are pretty easy.
You're told that the time (needed to go from 0 to 100 MPH) is inversely proportional to the horsepower: what this means is that as horsepower gets larger, time gets smaller. This makes sense since the more horsepower you have, the less time it will take you to get to 100 MPH
You can think of this as:
200 HP = 10 seconds
250 HP = x seconds
You set the equation up as:
250 HP / 200 HP = 10 sec / x sec
Now, just cross multiply and solve:
250 / 200 = 10 / x
250x = (200 x 10)
250x = 2000
x = 2000 / 250
x = 8
So, as you increase the horsepower from 200 to 250, the time decreases from 10 seconds to 8 seconds.
Hope this helps!
Good luck.
Do you need a unit rate? Or do you have an attatchment for me to solve the unit rate? If you need an example of a unit rate one could be:
27 gallons.
----------------
$3. Cost
27 divided by 3 is 9
9 gallons
-------------
Per dollar
Before answering these questions, we need to write out both equations.
For Job 'A', his salary would be: 55,000 + 2,500n
This assumes 'n' equals the number of years Lenny spends at these companies.
For Job 'B', his salary would be: 62,000 + 2,000n
A.
So basically we need to find a number were:
55,000 + 2,500n = 62,000 + 2,000n
is true. So basically solve ^that^ equasion.
55,000 + 2,500n = 62,000 + 2,000n
simplify
500n = 7,000
devide
n = 14
Fourteen years is your answer.
B.
a. 55,000 + 2,500n
b. 62,000 + 2,000n
So in order to answer this question, you basically just have to replace 'n' with the number '20', and see which one's bigger.
a.
55,000 + 2,500(20)
55,000 + 50,000
105,000
b.
62,000 + 2,000(20)
62,000 + 40,000
102,000
105,000 > 102,000
So your answer is:
Lenny should go to company 'a' because 105,000 is greater than 102,000.
[[tip: If you want to wow, surprise, or confuse your teacher (depending on her actual intelligence) write something like, 'another reason Lenny should choose company 'a' is because it gives higher annual raises, which is better in long-term.' He/She may not get it though, lol, wrong class.]]
Anyway, I hope this helped! :D
Answer:
Part 1) The domain of the quadratic function is the interval (-∞,∞)
Part 2) The range is the interval (-∞,1]
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
This is a quadratic equation (vertical parabola) open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)
step 1
Find the domain
The domain of a function is the set of all possible values of x
The domain of the quadratic function is the interval
(-∞,∞)
All real numbers
step 2
Find the range
The range of a function is the complete set of all possible resulting values of y, after we have substituted the domain.
we have a vertical parabola open downward
The vertex is a maximum
Let
(h,k) the vertex of the parabola
so
The range is the interval
(-∞,k]
Find the vertex
Factor -1 the leading coefficient
Complete the square
Rewrite as perfect squares
The vertex is the point (7,1)
therefore
The range is the interval
(-∞,1]
