Answer:
The value of the expression increases as j decreases
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
As j decreases, the value of j300 decreases (i.e the farther j300 is from 150). Due to the wider gap between 150 and j300, the value of f(j) increases.
For example:
When j = 1, f(j) = 150 - (300*1) = -150
When j = 0.5, f(j) = 150 - (300*0.5) = 0
When j = 0. f(j) = 150 - (300*0) = 150
It is obvious from the analogy above that the expression 150-j150−j150 increases as j decreases
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
When we take an average of something, we have to add up all the data on the somethings and then divide by the number of somethings we have. Ed takes 5 tests, and we have scores for them; we also have his current average. What we don't know for sure are 2 of the 5 test scores, but we have enough to determine what they are.
If one test has a score of x, and the other test is 3 points less than that, the score on that last test is x - 3. Putting all of that together into an average problem:
and simplfiying a bit:
. Multiply both sides by 5 to get
256 + 2x = 450; subtract 256 from both sides to get
2x = 194 and divide by 2:
x = 97
The one test score was a 97 and the other one, which was 3 less than that, was a 94.
