The correct answer is the third choice.   25% of the 10 pounds is 2.5 pounds and to represent 40% of x pounds would be represented as 0.4x.  Together this is the amount that is dried fruit.  

This gets placed over the total weight of mix (10 + x), and then multiplied by 100 to create the percent that is represented.

Answer:    y=\frac{2.5+0.4x}{10+x} .100  

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, the the total quantity of the mixture = 10 lb

In which dried fruit = 25% of 10 lb = 2.5 lb

Since, according to the question, employee adds x lb of Active Mix, which contains 40% dried fruit by weight.

So, the total mixture after addition =( 10+ x )  lb

In which total dried fruit= 2.5 lb+ 40% of x=  (2.5+ 0.4x) lb

So the percentage of the dried fruit in the new mixture =( quantity of dried fruit in the mixture/ total quantity ). 100

= \frac{2.5 + 0.4x}{10+x} .100

For each function, do the following: a) state the name of the function, b) identify the independent and dependent variable, c) i
daser333 [38]
<h2>Hello</h2>

The answers are:

a) The name of the function is g, and it's an Exponential Function.

b) Independent variable : x , dependent variable : g(x)/y

c) The rule that assigns exactly one output to the very input is called "function".

d) g(4)=2^{4}+12=16+12=28

<h2>Why?</h2>

Usually, the name of a function (g(x)) is given by letter that is out of the parentheses. For this exercise,  the name of the function is "g", and it's an Exponential Function.

The independent variable of a function is the variable we assign the different values. For this exercise, the independent variable is designated with the letter "x".

The dependent variable is the function itself (g(x)), it's also called "y",  and it's called "dependent" variable because its values will always depend on the "independent variable".

A function is the rule that states that there is exactly one output (range value) to the each input (domain value).  A function only exists when there is exactly one output value (range) for each input (domain), if there is more than one output for each input, the function does not exist.

To evaluate a function we need to assign values to the independent variable(x), therefore:

g(4)=2^{4}+12=16+12=28

Have a nice day!
