When sending a rectangular package through the U.S. Postal Service, the combined length and girth (perimeter of the cross sectio

n) cannot exceed 108 inches. Up to what length can a package be if the width and height are 10 and 15 inches?

Let W = width of package
Let H = height of package
Let L = length of package

The perimeter cab be one of the following:
P = 2(L + W),  or
P = 2(L + H)

The perimeter of the cross section cannot exceed 108 in.
When the width is 10 in, then
 2(L + 10) <= 108
 L + 10 <= 54
 L <= 44 in

When the height is 15 in, then
2(L + 15) <= 108
L + 15 <= 54
L <= 39 in

To satisfy both of these conditions requires that L <= 39 in.

Answer: 39 inches

The varsity basketball team started selling T-shirts online in 1994. The number of T-shirts sold online, s, is modeled by the gr
-Dominant- [34]

(PART-A): s-intercept in this case represents the y-intercept of the graph, whereas the t-intercept in this case represents the x-intercept of the graph.

Always remember that y-intercept represents the value of y where the curve (or line) crosses the y-axis, and x-intercept represents the value of x where the curve (or line) crosses the x-axis.

In the graph attached with the question, at point (0,6) the curve crosses the y-axis. Therefore, the <em>y-intercept (s-intercept) in this case is 6</em>. It means that in year 2000 (t=0), 6 hundred shirts were sold.

However, there is no point on the graph where the curve crosses the x-axis, meaning there is <em>no x-intercept (t-intercept)</em>. It means that there is <em>not</em> a single year when the number of shirts sold is 0.


(PART B): As you can see in the graph (attached with the question) that the <em>f(t)</em> is increasing (exponentially) with the increase in <em>t. </em>Therefore, we can safely say that as t increases without bound, the f(t) increases (also). In this context, it means that the sale of shirts increases as the years go by. Hence, the correct blank is "increases."


(PART C): The average rate of change is actually the slope. To find the slope, we can use the following formula:

slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} --- (X)

Given points: (5, 12.5) and (7, 22). Plug the values in equation (X),

slope = \frac{22-12.5}{7-5} = 4.75

Hence, the average rate of change for the function between t=5 and t=7 is 4.75 (answer).


(PART D): This part is bit tricky. Therefore, read the explanation carefully!

You can see in the graph that number of Shirts sold is in <em>hundreds. </em>It means that 1 unit (of y-axis in a graph) represents 100 shirts. Therefore, as in the question it is mentioned that there are 1000 T-shirts sold, it will become 10 units (since 10*100 = 1000). So, the function g(t) will become the following:

g(t) = f(t) + 10 --- (Y)

Why did I add f(t)? Because in the question, the word "<em>and</em>" is underlined. It means that g(t) represents not only 1000 T-shirts (10*100 = 1000) sold at the basketball games each year, but it also has the number of T-shirts sold ONLINE, which is f(t).

Now insert f(t) in (Y) and solve:

g(t) = f(t) + 10\\g(t) = (1.5)^t + 5+ 10\\g(t) = (1.5)^t + 15

Hence, g(t) is (1.5)^t + 15

Johnnas reading rate is 150 words per minute she is reading a 364 page book that has about 275 words on each page at this rate w
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

11 hrs 1 min (i think so based on math)

Step-by-step explanation:

If Johnna's reading rate is 150 words per min and there are 364 pages with about 275 words, you need to multiply 364 and 275 to get 100100 and divide that by 150 to get 667.3333333 round to the nearest tenth which will give you 667.3 and divide that by 60 because there are 60 minutes in an hour to get 11.12222222 and round that to the nearest tenth to get 11.1 which means it will take Johnna 11 hours and 1 minute to read the book.  I hope this is correct I'm really sorry if it isn't. :P
