The recommended daily calcium intake for a 20-year-old is 1,000 milligrams (mg). One cup of milk contains 299 mg of calcium and

one cup of juice contains 261 mg of calcium. Which of the following inequalities represents the possible number of cups of milk m and cups of juice j a 20-year-old could drink in a day to meet or exceed the recommended daily calcium intake from these drinks alone?

One <u>possible inequality</u> is:

299m+261j ≥ 1000.

Explanation:

m is the number of cups of milk and j is the number of cups of juice.

Each cup of milk contains 299 mg of calcium.  This gives us 299m mg of calcium for m cups of milk drank.

Each cup of juice contains 261 mg of calcium.  This gives us 261j mg of calcium for j cups of juice drank.

Together, this would be a total of 299m+261j mg of calcium.

We want to meet or exceed 1000 mg of calcium.  This means we could have more than 1000 or equal to 1000; this gives us the inequality symbol "greater than or equal to":

299m+261j ≥ 1000

The domain and range of 5x squared plus 10x what is the domain and range of f of x equals 5x squared plus 10x
liberstina [14]

Answer:

Domain:  set of all real numbers

Range:  y \geq  -5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the domain and range of the function:

f(x) =5x^2+10x

This is a quadratic function, shape of a "U", that's called a parabola.

The domain is the set of x values for which the function is defined.

The range is the set of y values for which the function is defined.

Normally, any parabola in the form  ax^2+bx+c  has domain as "all real numbers". This is the case for this problem as well, thus,

Domain = set of all real numbers

Now, for the range, we have to look at the minimum value of the function. So, the range would be y values greater than or equal to the minimum number. Lets find the minimum value of this function.

We have to find the value of x for which the minimum occurs by using the formula:

x=\frac{-b}{2a} =\frac{-10}{2(5)} =-1

<em><u>Note: value of a is "5" and b is "10"</u></em>

Now, we plug this into the function to find the minimum value:

f(x)=5x^2+10x\\f(-1)=5(-1)^2 +10(-1)\\f(-1)=-5

So, the range is set of all real numbers greater than or equal to -5.

Mike took a taxi from his home to the airport. The taxi driver charged an initial fee of $6 plus $3 per mile. The total fare was
barxatty [35]
Hello! To solve this problem, we can write and solve an equation. Set it up like this:

6 + 3m = 24

This is because 6 is the one-time fixed price and you pay $3 per mile. Subtract 6 from both sides in order to get 3m = 18. Now, divide each side by 3 to isolate the “m”. 18/3 is 6. There. m = 6. Mike traveled 6 miles by taxi.
