Harold wrote this equation to model the level of water in a pool over time. The variable x represents time in hours. f(x) = 3,50
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

The water level is falling.

The initial level of water in the pool was 3,500 units

The water was 2,600 units high after 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function that models the water level is

f(x)=3,500-225x

where x represents time in hours.

The function represents a straight line that has slope m=-225

Since the slope is negative, it means the water level is falling.

The initial level of water in the pool can found when we put x=0 into the function.

f(0)=3,500-225(0)


f(0)=3,500, hence the initial level is 3,500.


To determine the level of water in the pool after 14 hours, we put x=14 into the equation to get;

f(14)=3,500-225(14)

f(14)=3,500-3150


f(14)=350


To determine the water level after 4 hours we put x=4

f(4)=3,500-225(4)

f(4)=3,500-900

f(14)=2,600

In the equation: log (x) = -0.123, what is the value of x?
SpyIntel [72]
The logarithm of a function log a = x is also expressed as 10^x = a. In this case, we are given log (x) = -0.123. Hence the equivalent function is 10^-0.123 = x;  x is equal to 0.7536. the answer to this problem is 0.7536.

Help please last question I swear
SOVA2 [1]
Jones has 3/4 total fertilizer. He wants to use 1/8 each scoop to use all of the fertilizer.
We need to make these into proportions to understand the amount of each fraction easier. 1/8 = 0.125, and 3/4 = 0.750
To do this the quick way, divide 0.750 by 0.125
0.750/0.125 = 6.
He will have to use the measuring cup 6 times.
Hope this helps!

Find an equation of the line parallel to x=5y-9 and passing through (2,-4). Express in standard form.
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

x - 5y = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  rewrite the equation of the given line in to slope-intercept form by solving for y

 x = 5y - 9    

     -5y = -x - 9               (subtract 5y and x from both sides)

        y = x/5 + 9/5           (divide both side by -5)

Step 2:  Our line is parallel to this line, so it has the same slope, but a different  y-intercept, so set up the equation...

  y = x/5 + b      

We are given a  point (x, y) of (2, -4), so plug that in and solve for b.  

 -4 = 2/5 + b

            -4 - 2/5 = b      (subtract 2/5 from both sides to isolate b)  

                   -20/5 - 2/5 = b

 

                         -22/5 = b      (simplify)

So the equation of our line is  y = x/5 - 22/5

Step 3:  Standard form is ax + by = c, where a is a positive integer

subtract x/5 from both sides...

-x/5 + y = - 22/5

multiply by -5 so x becomes a positive integer

x - 5y = 22
