Answer:

25/24 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want to find the total weight, we should add the weights together

3/8+2/3

To add, we need a common denominator

The least common denominator of 8 and 3 is 24

To get a denominator of 24, multiply 3/8 by 3/3, and 2/3 by 8/8

3/8*3/3=9/24

2/3*8/8=16/24

Now, we have a common denominator and can add

9/24+16/24

Add the numerators, and leave the denominator as 24

25/24=1 1/24= 1.04166666

The total weight for both packages is 25/24 pounds

A food packet is dropped from a helicopter and is modeled by the function f(x) = −15x2 + 6000. The graph below shows the height
melisa1 [442]

General Idea:

Domain of a function means the values of x which will give a DEFINED output for the function.

Applying the concept:

Given that the x represent the time in seconds, f(x) represent the height of food packet.

Time cannot be a negative value, so

x\geq 0

The height of the food packet cannot be a negative value, so

f(x)\geq 0

We need to replace -15x^2+6000 for f(x) in the above inequality to find the domain.

-15x^2+6000\geq 0 \; \;  [Divide \; by\; -15\; on\; both\; sides]\\ \\ \frac{-15x^2}{-15} +\frac{6000}{-15} \leq \frac{0}{-15} \\ \\ x^2-400\leq 0\;[Factoring\;on\;left\;side]\\ \\ (x+200)(x-200)\leq 0

The possible solutions of the above inequality are given by the intervals (-\infty , -2], [-2,2], [2,\infty ). We need to pick test point from each possible solution interval and check whether that test point make the inequality (x+200)(x-200)\leq 0 true. Only the test point from the solution interval [-200, 200] make the inequality true.

The values of x which will make the above inequality TRUE is -200\leq x\leq 200

But we already know x should be positive, because time cannot be negative.

Conclusion:

Domain of the given function is 0\leq x\leq 200

PLSSS HELP IM DESPERATE!!
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

graph c

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

| - 2x | = 4

The absolute value function always gives a positive result, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative , that is

- 2x = 4 or - (- 2x) = 4

Solving both

- 2x = 4 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = - 2

or

- (- 2x) = 4

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

The third graph indicates x = - 2 and x = 2 on the number line

Can someone please explain step by step on how I subtract fractions like for an a example!
kotykmax [81]

Keep the denominators the same and subtract the numerators. So for example in your example:

7/8 - 3/8

Leave the 8 alone. Subtract 3 from 7.

7 - 3 = 4

So answer is:

4/8

Sometimes they may have to simplify the answer, and in this case, 4/8 could be simplified to 1/2
