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

Maggie graphed the image of a 90 counterclockwise rotation about vertex A of . Coordinates B and C of are (2, 6) and (4, 3) and
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

A(2,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the vertex A has coordinates (x_A,y_A)

Vectors AB and AB' are perpendicular, then

\overrightarrow {AB}=(2-x_A,6-y_A)\\ \\\overrightarrow {AB'}=(-2-x_A,2-y_A)\\ \\\overrightarrow {AB}\perp\overrightarrow {AB'}\Rightarrow \overrightarrow {AB}\cdot \overrightarrow {AB'}=0\Rightarrow (2-x_A)(-2-x_A)+(6-y_A)(2-y_A)=0

Vectors AC and AC' are perpendicular, then

\overrightarrow {AC}=(4-x_A,3-y_A)\\ \\\overrightarrow {AC'}=(1-x_A,4-y_A)\\ \\\overrightarrow {AC}\perp\overrightarrow {AC'}\Rightarrow \overrightarrow {AC}\cdot \overrightarrow {AC'}=0\Rightarrow (4-x_A)(1-x_A)+(3-y_A)(4-y_A)=0

Now, solve the system of two equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}(2-x_A)(-2-x_A)+(6-y_A)(2-y_A)=0\\ \\(4-x_A)(1-x_A)+(3-y_A)(4-y_A)=0\end{array}\right.\\ \\\left\{\begin{array}{l}-4-2x_A+2x_A+x_A^2+12-6y_A-2y_A+y^2_A=0\\ \\4-4x_A-x_A+x_A^2+12-3y_A-4y_A+y_A^2=0\end{array}\right.\\ \\\left\{\begin{array}{l}x_A^2+y_A^2-8y_A+8=0\\ \\x_A^2+y_A^2-5x_A-7y_A+16=0\end{array}\right.

Subtract these two equations:

5x_A-y_A-8=0\Rightarrow y_A=5x_A-8

Substitute it into the first equation:

x_A^2+(5x_A-8)^2-8(5x_A-8)+8=0\\ \\x_A^2+25x_A^2-80x_A+64-40x_A+64+8=0\\ \\26x_A^2-120x_A+136=0\\ \\13x_A^2-60x_A+68=0\\ \\D=(-60)^2-4\cdot 13\cdot 68=3600-3536=64\\ \\x_{A_{1,2}}=\dfrac{60\pm8}{2\cdot 13}=\dfrac{34}{13},2

Then

y_{A_{1,2}}=5\cdot \dfrac{34}{13}-8 \text{ or } 5\cdot 2-8\\ \\=\dfrac{66}{13}\text{ or } 2

Rotation by 90° counterclockwise about A(2,2) gives image points B' and C' (see attached diagram)

Choose the most appropriate strategy and then use it to solve the quadratic equation.

 (x-8) ^ 2 = 121
 
(x-8) = + / - root (121)
 x = 8 +/- root (121)
 The solutions are:
 
x1 = 8 + root (121)
 
x2 = 8 - root (121)
 2a ^ 2 = 8a-6
 2a ^ 2-8a + 6 = 0
 a ^ 2-4a + 3 = 0
 (a-1) (a-3) = 0
 The solutions are:
 
a1 = 1
 
a2 = 3
 x ^ 2 + 12x + 36 = 4
 x ^ 2 + 12x + 36-4 = 0
 x ^ 2 + 12x + 32 = 0
 (x + 4) (x + 8) = 0
 The solutions are:
 
x1 = -8
 
x2 = -4
 x ^ 2-x + 30 = 0
 
x = (- b +/- root (b ^ 2 - 4 * a * c)) / 2 * a
 x = (- (- 1) +/- root ((- 1) ^ 2 - 4 * (1) * (30))) / 2 * (1)
 x = (1 +/- root (1 - 120))) / 2
 x = (1 +/- root (-119))) / 2
 x = (1 +/- root (119) * i)) / 2
 The solutions are:
 
x1 = (1 + root (119) * i)) / 2
 
x2 = (1 - root (119) * i)) / 2

how does the appearence of a histogram change when u use many small intervals then when you use a few large intervals
vampirchik [111]
If you're using a few larger intervals, then your histogram looks more stocky. If you imagine drawing one, it's because you're adding more values into the same category which can make the difference between two intervals much more noticeable. If you're using smaller intervals, however, you can much more accurately assess the difference between two different intervals. For that reason, the transition between one and another interval would look much more 'fluid'.
