Answer:

c. 9

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The starting equation to find f(22) is 22=8(x-4)-18

2. Next, distribute(multiply) the 8 to the x and -4 which would make the equation 22=8x-32-18

3. After that, combine the like terms (-32-18) which would give us 22=8x-50

4. Now, we can also combine the 22 and the -50 but they are on different sides of the equation. So, we have to move the -50 to the left side of the equation by adding 50 to both sides which would cancel -50 on the right side, thus "moving" it to the left side which would give us 72=8x

5. Lastly, we have to isolate x right? so to get rid of the 8, you divide both sides by 8 since 8 is multiplying with x which would give us 9=x

*If you are allowed to use a graphing calculator, you can put the equation into the graph by hitting the y= button and going to the table (2nd, Graph). This makes everything 100x easier.

Joseph served 18 customers in 42 minutes. Approximately how many customers would he serve in 2 hours if he continued at this rat

zhenek [66]

Okay so if he serves 18 customers in 42 minutes divide 18 by 42 and you get the amount of customers he serves per min which is 0.42857413 then multiply that by 120 since 2 hours add up to 120 minutes and you get 51.43

An object is dropped from a bridge and allowed to freefall to the ground. The height of the object over time can be modeled usin

kkurt [141]

Answer:

<em>t = 3 seconds</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation, as a function of time, that describes the height of the object that is dropped from the bridge.

The equation is:

$h (t) = 144 - 16t ^ 2$
