1 answer:

7 0

A kilometer is composed of 1000 meters. The term "kilo" means "a thousand."

So 5 kilometers means 5 1000 meters, thus it is equal to 5,000 meters.

1 km = 1000 meters

5 km * 1000 m / km = 5 * 1000 m = 5,000 meters

1 m = 0.001 km

5 km * 1m/0.001km = 5 m / 0.001 = 5,000 meters

A stadium's normal ticket price is $78. As a special promotion they offer 15% off. What is the price of the discounted ticket?

alexgriva [62]

ANSWER: $66.30

WORK:
to find 15% off, multiply by 0.15.
78 x 0.15 = 11.7

note: this is the percent off, so it's subtracted to find the sale price.

78 - 11.70 = 66.3

Evaluate piecewise functions

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

F(4) = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that for f(4), we need to use the function definition for the partitioned Domain that includes x = 4, and that is the expression :

$f(x) = x^2-7$

Therefore:

$f(4) = 4^2-7 = 16-7 =9$

If y varies directly as x^2 and y=12 when x=2, find y when x=5

Shkiper50 [21]

$y=ax^2\\\\y=12\ \ \ and\ \ \ x=2\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ 12=a\cdot 2^2\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ a= \frac{4}{12}= \frac{1}{3} \\\\y=\frac{1}{3} x^2\\\\x=5\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ y=\frac{1}{3} \cdot5^2=\frac{25}{3} =8\frac{1}{3}$
