A food packet is dropped from a helicopter and is modeled by the function f(x) = −15x2 + 6000. The graph below shows the height

f(x), in feet, of the food packet at different times x, in seconds: graph of function f of x equals 6000 minus 15 multiplied by x squared Use the graph to determine the reasonable domain of f(x) based on the context. x ≤ 6000 0 ≤ x ≤ 20 −20 ≤ x ≤ 20 All real numbers

General Idea:

Domain of a function means the values of x which will give a DEFINED output for the function.

Applying the concept:

Given that the x represent the time in seconds, f(x) represent the height of food packet.

Time cannot be a negative value, so

x\geq 0

The height of the food packet cannot be a negative value, so

f(x)\geq 0

We need to replace -15x^2+6000 for f(x) in the above inequality to find the domain.

-15x^2+6000\geq 0 \; \;  [Divide \; by\; -15\; on\; both\; sides]\\ \\ \frac{-15x^2}{-15} +\frac{6000}{-15} \leq \frac{0}{-15} \\ \\ x^2-400\leq 0\;[Factoring\;on\;left\;side]\\ \\ (x+200)(x-200)\leq 0

The possible solutions of the above inequality are given by the intervals (-\infty , -2], [-2,2], [2,\infty ). We need to pick test point from each possible solution interval and check whether that test point make the inequality (x+200)(x-200)\leq 0 true. Only the test point from the solution interval [-200, 200] make the inequality true.

The values of x which will make the above inequality TRUE is -200\leq x\leq 200

But we already know x should be positive, because time cannot be negative.

Conclusion:

Domain of the given function is 0\leq x\leq 200

Place these numbers on the number line. 1/4, 2/3, 3/4, 6/8
Lelu [443]
The best way to put them into a number line is to make sure that they've all got the same denominator, which in this case, will be 24, as this is the lowest common multiple of 3,4 and 8. You will then need to multiply these fractions accordingly. The first one (1/4) will need to be multiplied by 6 to get a denominator of 24, so this will then give you a result of 6/24. The second one (2/3), will need to be multiplied by 8, which will then give you a result of 16/24. The third one (3/4)will also need to be multiplied by 6, giving you 18/24. The final one (6/8) will need to be multiplied by 3, giving you 18/24. You will then need to put these in order, which will be- 1/4, 2/3, 3/4, and 6/8. The alternative method is to turn these into decimals- 1/4 is equivalent to 25%, which is equal to 0.25. 2/3 is equivalent to 66.66%, which is equivalent to 0.66. 3/4 is equivalent to 75%, which is equal to 0.75. 6/8 is also equivalent to 75%, which is equal to 0.75, you can then easily line them up this way. Hope this has been able to help you

if 368 teenagers in a population of 4,310 report that they have smoked at least one cigarette during the past year, to one decim
allochka39001 [22]
Divide the amount of teenagers that smoked by the total population:

368 \div 4310 = 0.0853

Multiply this decimal by 100 to convert into a percentage:

0.0853 \times 100 = 8.53

To round to the nearest decimal place, look at the hundredths value:

8.53
3 > 5
8.53 -> 8.5

8.5% of teenagers reported that they smoked at least one cigarette.

Please help, I dont know how to do this​
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

\frac{y-2}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by factoring everything:

\dfrac{\frac{y^2+y}{y^2-2y}}{\frac{4y+4}{y^2-4y+4}}=

\dfrac{\frac{y(y+1)}{y(y-2)}}{\frac{4(y+1)}{(y-2)^2}}=

Now, you can cancel out some terms:

\dfrac{\frac{y+1}{y-2}}{\frac{4(y+1)}{(y-2)^2}}=

Now, when you divide a fraction by another fraction, that is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second one:

\frac{y+1}{y-2}\cdot \frac{(y-2)^2)}{4(y+1)}=

\frac{y-2}{4}

Hope this helps!
