Sam studied guinea pigs for his science fair project. He found that the amount of weight the guinea pigs gained varied directly

with the number of calories they consumed. The guinea pigs gained 1 ounce for every additional 218 calories in their diet. How many additional ounces would they gain if their diet was increased by 1,090 calories? Let W represent the weight in ounces, and let C represent the number of calories.

From the given above, we can formulate the equation:

W = C / 218

By substituting the given values:

W = 1090 calories / (218 calories / 1 ounce)

W = 5 ounce

<span>Therefore the guinea pigs will gain additional 5 ounce if the diet was increased by 1090 calories.</span>

A glass of skim milk supplies 0.1 mg of iron, 8.5 g of protein, and 1 g of carbohydrates. A quarter pound of lean red meat provi
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

glasses of milk=4

quatar pounds servings of meat =5

two slices of whole grains bread =8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m= milk

r=meat

b=bread

0.1m+3.4r+2.2b=35 (1)

8.5m+22r+10b=224 (2)

m+20r+12b=200 (3)

Multiply (1) by 85 and (2) by 1

8.5m+289r+187b=2,975 (4)

8.5m+22r+10b=224 (5)

Subtract (5) from (4)

267r+177b=2,751 (6)

Recall,

8.5m+22r+10b=224 (2)

m+20r+12b=200 (3)

Multiply (2) by 1 and (3) by 8.5

8.5m+22r+10b=224 (7)

8.5m+170r+102b=1700 (8)

Subtract (7) from (8)

148r+92b=1,476 (9)

Recall,

267r+177b=2,751 (6) and

148r+92b=1,476 (9)

Multiply (6) by 148 and (9) by 267

26196b=407,148 (10)

24564b=394,092 (11)

Subtract (11) from (10)

1,632b=13,056

Divide both sides by 1,632

b=13,056/1,632

b=8

Substitute the value of b in (9)

148r+92b=1,476 (9)

148r+92(8)=1,476

148r+736=1,476

148r=1,476-736

148r=740

Divide both sides by 148

r=740/148

r= 5

Substitute the value of b and r in (1)

0.1m+3.4r+2.2b=35 (1)

0.1m+3.4(5)+2.2(8)=35

0.1m+17+17.6=35

0.1m+34.6=35

0.1m=35-34.6

0.1m=0.4

Divide both sides by 0.1

m=0.4/0.1

m=4

4 glasses of milk, 5 quatar pounds servings of meat and 8 two slices of whole grains bread will supply the required nutrients.

After a dreary day of rain, the sun peeks through the clouds and a rainbow forms. You notice the rainbow is the shape of a parab
Gekata [30.6K]

We can answer the first part of the question not taking intersecting function into account. The domain of y=-x^{2}+36 is all the numbers, x∈(-∞, +∞) and the range is y∈(-∞, 36]. We can observe these results with the help of a graph, as well. Since we are talking about the rainbow, the values above the ground level will make sense. In this case, we will take into account the range as it changes between 0 and 36, included and the domain between -6 and 6. Here (0;36) is the y-intercept and (-6;0) and (6;0) are the x-intercepts of the parabola.


Since in our problem, the linear function that intersects parabola is not given, we have to provide it by ourselves according to the conditions of the problem. It could be any line intersecting parabola in two points. One important point is that the y-intercept has to be no more than 36. Considering these conditions, we can set our linear function to be y=0.5x+5. We can observe the points that we included in the table (they have been given with orange dots in the graph and the table is attached below). We can see that the values of the function (values of y) are positive. Indeed, we are discussing the part of the rainbow above the ground level.


The system of equations with linear and quadratic functions has got two solutions and we can observe that result from the graph. The solutions are (-5.823; 2.088) and (5.323; 7.662). The solutions are the intersection points.
