A young sumo wrestler decided to go on a special high-protein diet to gain weight rapidly. When he started his diet, he weighed

79.5 kilograms. He gained weight at a rate of 5.5 kilograms per month. Let y represent the sumo wrestler's weight (in kilograms) after x months. Which of the following could be the graph of the relationship? graph of an increasing linear function in quadrant 1 with a positive y-intercept (Choice B) B graph of an increasing linear function in quadrants 1 and 4 with a positive x-intercept and negative y-intercept (Choice C) C graph of a decreasing linear function in quadrants 1 and 4 with a positive x-intercept and positive y-intercept (Choice D) D graph of a decreasing linear function in quadrant 4 with a negative y-intercept

Answer:

(Choice A) A graph of an increasing linear function in quadrant 1 with a positive y-intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of the sumo wrestler starts at a positive value of 79.5 kilograms, and we are given that the sumo wrestler gains a linear amount of weight per month at 5.5 kilograms per month.

If we were to graph this relationship, the sumo wrestler's weight would be represented on the y-axis, and the amount of time on the x-axis.

So the initial weight would occur at (0, 79.5) which is the positive y-intercept.

And since his weight is increasing at 5.5 kilograms per month, the slope of the linear function is positive.

Hence, the graph of the linear increasing function in quadrant 1 with a positive y-intercept.

Cheers.

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of cars to trucks to motorcycles is $4:3:2.

If there are $42$ cars and trucks total,

To get how many motorcycles are there

Sum up the ratio of cars and trucks 4:3= 4+3 = 7

Sum up the ratio of cars and trucks and motorcycles

4+3+2 =9

Let the total number of cars and trucks and motorcycles be represented as A

The total number of cars and trucks in the question is 42

(7/9) x A = 42

7A/9 = 42

cross multiply

7A = 42×9 = 378

A= 378/7 = 54

The total number of cars and trucks and motorcycles is 54

To get the number of motorcycles can be calculated through

a. The total number of cars and trucks and motorcycles subtracted by the number of cars and trucks = 54-42=12 or use the ratio which is

2/9 × 54 = 2×6=12

Subtraction is a mathematical operation that reflects the removal of things from a collection. The number of bags that zips on them is 78.

<h3>What is subtraction?</h3>

Subtraction is a mathematical operation that reflects the removal of things from a collection. The negative symbol represents subtraction.

Given the number of bags that the company makes is 140. 39 of the bags have buttons but no zips. 21 of the bags have zips but no buttons. 23 of the bags have neither zips nor buttons.

Bags that have both zip and button

= Total number of bags - Number of bags with zips but no buttons - Number of bags with buttons but no zips - Number of bags with nor zips nor the buttons

= 140 - 21 - 39 - 23

= 57

Now, the number of bags that has zips will be the bags that only have zips and the number of bags that has zips and buttons. Therefore, the number of bags with zips is,

n = Bags that have both zip and button + Number of bags with zips but no buttons

   = 37 + 21

   = 78

Hence, the number of bags that zips on them is 78.

Answer:

I believe the question says "5j + 16 - 12(-9j - 4) - 12j"  I hope I'm correct because I have almost no idea what you typed.

If you did type "5j + 16 - 12(-9j - 4) - 12j" then your answer would be 133j + 52 I believe. You never put how you would like your problem to be solved, so I simplified.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps.
