Answer:
Tamara incorrectly factored the whole expression.
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that
•21x=3·7·x;
•56xy=2·2·2·7·x·y.
Mark in bold all common factors, then GCF(21x,56xy)=7·x=7x.
Thus,
21x+56xy=7x(3+8y).
Hence, Tamara correctly found the GCF of numbers 21 and 56, but incorrectly factored the whole expression.
By looking at the statement I derived,
32 = 8 * 4
It's a linear function. We need only two points to draw a graph.
We choose any values of x and calculate the value of y.

for x= 0 → y = 3(0) - 1 = 0 - 1 = -1 → (0, -1)
for x = 2 → y = 3(2) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5 → (2, 5)

for x = 0 → y = 3(0) - 1/3 = 0 - 1/3 = -1/3 → (0, -1/3)
for x = 2 → y = 3(2) - 1/3 = 6 - 1/3 = 5 2/3 → (2, 5 2/3)
Answer: Aproximately 2,525 balloons
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Find the volume of a balloon with the formula given in the problem, where
is the radius (
), then:

2. Convert the volume from m³ to lliters by multiplying it by 1,000:

3. You know that that 1 liter of helium can lift 1 gram and that Ryan weighs 5 stone and 5 pounds. So you must make the following conversions:
1 g=0.0022 lb
From 5 stones to pounds

4. Then Ryan's weigh is:
5lb+70lb=75lb
5. Then, if 1 liter of helium can lift 0.0022 lb, to lift 75 lb (which is the weight of Ryan) they need:

6. Then, to calculate the aproximated number of balloons they need to make him float (which can call
), you must divide the liters of helium needed to lift the weight of Ryan by the volume of a balloon, then the result is:

≈2,525 balloons.
You'd find the vertical asymptotes by seeing where the denominator equals zero; you can do so by factoring the denominator.
In this case, you can factor the denominator into (x+3)(x+2), so if you set each of those equal to zero you can find the equations of the vertical asymptotes (x=-3 and x=-2).
