Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: The weight, in pounds, of a newborn baby t months after birth can be modeled by the function W(t)=1.25t+6.

TO FIND: What is the y-intercept of the function and what is its interpretation in the context of the problem.

SOLUTION:

in  W(t)=1.25t+6

if t=0

W(0)=6

Hence y-intercept is 6

the y-intercept in this represents the weight of baby just after he is born.

Hayden earns $9.50 per hour as a lifeguard.He earns a bonus of $50.00 for taking a training course.How many hours must he work t
mel-nik [20]

Answer: he must work for at least 26.32 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours that Hayden works as a life guard.

Hayden earns $9.50 per hour as a lifeguard. This means that the amount that he earns for working for x hours would be

9.5x

He earns a bonus of $50.00 for taking a training course. If he takes this bonus cost, the amount that he would earn for working for x hours is

9.5x + 50

Therefore, the number of hours that he must work to earn at least $300.00 would be

9.5x + 50 ≥ 300

9.5x ≥ 300 - 50

9.5x ≥ 250

x ≥ 250/9.5

x ≥ 26.32

Which table represents a nonlinear function?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:C

Step-by-step explanation: When a table represents a nonlinear function, the rate of change is not constant. A wouldn't be the answer because the rate of change is always +10 (you would add 10 to get from -9 to 1; you would add 10 to get from 1 to 10) . It wouldn't be B because the rate of change is always -2, and the rate of change for D is always +3. For C, however, the rate of change is not constant all the way through (to get from 0 to 6, you would add 6, but to get from 6 to 16 you add 10).

Solve the simultaneous equations 8 x + 5 y = 28 4 x + 5 y = 16
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

x=3, y=0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+5y=28

4x+5y=16

Subtract the second simultaneous equation from the first.

You are left with: 4x=12

12/4=3

x=3

Substitute this back into one of the equations.

8(3)+5y=28

8*3=24

28-24=4

4=5y

4/5=0.8

y=0.8
