Write the equation of a function whose parent function, f(x) = x + 8, is shifted 2 units to the right.

A freight train starts from Los Angeles and heads for Chicago at 40 mph. Two hours later, a passenger train leaves the same stat

Degger [83]

I'm going to assume that they are on parallel tracks, and not the same track.

60x=40(x+2)

60x=40x+80

20x=80

x=4

You can check the work I've provided by filling in the answer for x into the initial question.

State which of the following sets of ordered pairs represent a function.

zalisa [80]

Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

A function can be termed as a process from a set of x values to a set of possible y-values where each x-value relates to exactly one y-value.

In other words, a relation can only be a function there is no repetition of x-values. It means a relation can not have duplicated inputs.

Given the sets

Set A: (5,2), (4, 3), (3, 4), (2,5)

Set B: (-1,-6), (0, 2), (1, 2), (3, 6)

Set C: (2, 1), (4, 2), (2, 3), (8,4)

It is clear that sets A and B represent the function because, in these sets, each x-value relates to exactly one y-value. In other words, there are no duplicated inputs.

But, set C has duplicated inputs i.e. x = 2 is repeated twice, and a function can not have a repeated input.

Therefore, we conclude that set A and set B represent a function.

Thus, option (D) is correct.

A manufacturer wants to make open tin boxes from pieces of tin with dimensions 8 in. by 15 in. by cutting equal squares from the

Stells [14]

Answer:

$\frac{5}{3}$ in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the side of square.

Length of box=8-2x

Width of box=15-2x

Height of box=x

Volume of box= $L\times B\times H$

Substitute the values then we get

Volume of box=V(x)= $(8-2x)(15-2x)x=(15x-2x^2)(8-2x)$

$V(x)=120x-30x^2-16x^2+4x^3$

$V(x)=4x^3-46x^2+120x$

Differentiate w.r.t x

$V'(x)=12x^2-92x+120$

$V'(x)=0$

$12x^2-92x+120=0$

$3x^2-23x+30=0$

$3x^2-18x-5x+30=0$

$3x(x-6)-5(x-6)=0$

$(x-6)(3x-5)=0$

$x-6=0\implies x=6$

$3x-5=0\implies x=\frac{5}{3}$

Again differentiate w.r.t x

$V''(x)=24x-92$

Substitute x=6

$V''(6)=24(6)-92=52>0$

Substitute x=5/3

$V''(5/3)=24(5/3)-92=-52$

Hence, the volume is maximum at x= $\frac{5}{3}$

Therefore, the side of the square , $x=\frac{5}{3}$ in cutout that gives the box the largest possible volume.

Directions: Number the distances from the shortest to the longest: 1 being the shortest distance and 5 being the longest. Justif

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer: Number the distances from the shortest to the longest:

1. Hoboken, New Jersey, to New York City is 659,831 cm

2. Cleveland, Ohio, to Akron, Ohio, is 2,521,728 inches

3. Orlando, Florida, to Tampa, Florida, is 446,160 feet

4. Chicago, Illinois, to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is 161,920 yards

5. Dallas, Texas, to Houston, Texas, is 385 km

Solution:

To compare, all the distances must be in the same unit, for example feet.

a. Dallas, Texas, to Houston, Texas, is 385 km

We must transform from km to feet:

385 km * (1,000 m / 1 km) * (100 cm / 1 m) * ( 1 in / 2.54 cm) * ( 1 feet / 12 in)=

(385*1,000*100*1*1)/(1*1*2.54*12) feet =

38,500,000/30.48 feet =

1,263,123.359 feet =

1,263,123 feet

b. Hoboken, New Jersey, to New York City is 659,831 cm

We must transform cm to feet:

659,831 cm * ( 1 in / 2.54 cm) * ( 1 feet / 12 in)=

(659,831*1*1)/(2.54*12) feet =

659,831/30.48 feet =

21,647.99868 feet =

21,648 feet

c. Orlando, Florida, to Tampa, Florida, is 446,160 feet

d. Cleveland, Ohio, to Akron, Ohio, is 2,521,728 inches

We must transform from inches to feet:

2,521,728 inches * ( 1 feet / 12 inches) =

(2,521,728*1) / 12 feet =

2,521,728/12 feet =

210,144 feet

e. Chicago, Illinois, to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is 161,920 yards

We must transform from yards to feet:

161,920 yards * (3 feet / 1 yard) =

(161,920*3)/1 feet =

485,763 feet

Ordering the values in feet from the shortest to the longest:

21,648 feet < 210,144 feet < 446,160 feet < 485,763 feet < 1,263,123 feet

With the original units:

659,831 cm < 2,521,728 inches < 446,160 feet < 161,920 yards < 385 km

Then the order is:

1. Hoboken, New Jersey, to New York City is 659,831 cm

2. Cleveland, Ohio, to Akron, Ohio, is 2,521,728 inches

3. Orlando, Florida, to Tampa, Florida, is 446,160 feet

4. Chicago, Illinois, to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is 161,920 yards

5. Dallas, Texas, to Houston, Texas, is 385 km
