Answer:

p ≤ 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Maximum weight elevator can hold ≤ 1800

Weight of delivery person and packages = 520 pounds

Average weight of a person = 160 pounds

Inequality to show how many additional people elevator can hold?

(weight of delivery person and packages + average weight of persons * number of persons) ≤ 1800

Let p = number of persons

(520 + 160p) ≤ 1800

160p ≤ 1800 - 520

160p ≤ 1280

p ≤ 1280 / 160

p ≤ 8

3(x+y)=y
andrew-mc [135]

3(x+y)=y

y is not equal to zero

*Solution  

1. The given equation is 3(x+y) = y and we are tasked to find the ratio between x and y. Distributing 3 to the terms in the parenthesis,  

                       3(x+y) = y

                     3x + 3y = y

Transposing 3y to the right side OR subtracting 3y from both the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the equation would give

                             3x = -2y

Dividing both sides of the equation by 3,  

                               x = (-2/3)y

Dividing both sides of the equation by y,  

                             x/y = -2/3

Therefore, the ratio x/y has a value of -2/3 provided that y is not equal to zero.

Show all work to identify the asymptotes and zero of the function f of x equals 5 x over quantity x squared minus 25.
Lorico [155]

Answer:

  • asymptotes: x = -5, x = 5
  • zero: x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The function of interest is ...

  f(x)=\dfrac{5x}{x^2-25}=\dfrac{5x}{(x-5)(x+5)}

The asymptotes are found where the denominator is zero. It will be zero when either factor is zero, so at x = 5 and x = -5

__

The zeros are found where the numerator is zero. It will be zero for x = 0.

The asymptotes are x=-5, x=5; the zero is x=0.
