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

10a. The y-intercept of the estimated line of best fit is at (0,b). Enter the approximate value of b. Round your estimate to the
vredina [299]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line is given as:

y = mx + b; where m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept (that is value of y at x = 0).

a) From the graph, we can see that the straight line touches the y axis at $100 in which the temperature is 0 degrees. Therefore the y intercept is:

(0, 100)

b) The slope of the line can be gotten by taking two points that the line passes through. Using the points (0, 100) and (12, 500):

slope(m)=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{500-100}{12-0} =33.3

Suppose y varies directly with x write a direct variation equation that relates x and y
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Option D

Y=2.6x

Step-by-step explanation:

When y=10.4 and x=4, these two can be related by the equation

10.4=4x

Making x the subject of the formula then x=10.4/4=2.6

Relating x and y then we have the equation

Y=2.6x

For example, when x is 4 then y=2.6x=2.6(4)=10.4 as given in the question. Therefore, the right option is D

Y=2.6x
