Mrs. Gainey planned a dinner for 15 people this Thanksgiving. She bought 22.5 lbs of turkey, plus potatoes, cranberry salad, rol

ls and all of the traditional holiday food. Unfortunately, her daughter forgot to tell her that she was bringing three of her college friends. If Mrs. Gainey wanted to feed each person the same amount of turkey that she had originally planned, how much additional turkey must she purchase to accommodate these additional guests? Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest tenth. What percent is each person’s intended serving of turkey reduced?

Each person was to have 1.5 pounds of turkey, but, with the extra people she would have to buy an additional 4.5 pounds of turkey. If she didn’t buy anymore turkey then everyone would get 1.25 pounds of turkey, which is about 1/6 less of what they would have originally gotten. 1/6 is equal to 16.7% or 0.167.

If f(x)=X-3/x and g(x) = 5x – 4, what is the domain of (fog)(x)?<br><br><br> NEED HELP FAST!!
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is function composition. We will take the g function and plug it into the f function wherever we see an x. That will look like this when it's done but before it's simplified:

f(g(x))=\frac{5x-4-3}{5x-4} and that can be simplified down to

f(g(x))=\frac{5x-7}{5x-4}

The domain of this function will be all real numbers EXCEPT for the one(s) that cause the denominator to become undefined. Set the denominator equal to 0 and solve for x:

5x - 4 = 0 so

5x = 4 and

x = 4/5

In other words, D = {x | x ≠ 4/5}

What does 49.39 round to.
Verizon [17]
If you want to round 49.39 to the nearest tenths place you will have to look at your tenths digit. The digit is 3, right? Look at the next number after 3. It is the number 9 for the hundredths place. If the number is bigger than 5 you round it. If it is smaller, you keep it the same. 9 is bigger than 5 so you make the 3 into a 4. Then, you're answer is 49.4 or 49.40 (Which are basically the same answer) It also works the same with the other digits. Simple, right? :)
