Answer:
84 cups of water will leak out after 2 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets how many how to change oz to cup
- One cup contains 8 oz
- We can use the ratio to solve this problem
- A hose is leaking water at a rate of 2 oz/h
- We need to find how many cups of water will leak out after 2 weeks
∵ The rate of the water leak out is 2 oz/hr
∵ 1 cup contains 8 oz
∴ 1 oz = cup
∴ 2 oz = 2 × =
=
cup
∴ The rate of the water leak out = cup/h
∵ 1 day = 24 hours
∵ 1 week = 7 days
∴ 1 week = 7 × 24 = 168 hours
∵ The number of hours in 1 week is 168
∴ The number of hours in 2 weeks = 168 × 2 = 336 hours
⇒ cups : hours
⇒ : 1
⇒ x : 336
- By using cross multiplication
∴ x = 336 ×
∴ x = 84
- x represents the number of cups of water leak out
<em>84 cups of water will leak out after 2 weeks</em>

Answer:
B the range, the x- and y-intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
the domain stays the same : all values of x are possible out of the interval (-infinity, +infinity).
but the range changes, as for the original function y could only have positive values - even for negative x.
the new function has a first term (with b) that can get very small for negative x, and then a subtraction of 2 makes the result negative.
the y-intercept (x=0) of the original function is simply y=1, as b⁰=1.
the y-intercept of the new function is definitely different, because the first term 3×(b¹) is larger than 3, because b is larger than 1. and a subtraction of 2 leads to a result larger than 1, which is different to 1.
the original function has no x-intercept (y=0), as this would happen only for x = -infinity. and that is not a valid value.
the new function has an x-intercept, because the y-values (range) go from negative to positive numbers. any continuous function like this must therefore have an x-intercept (again, y = the function result = 0)
