Answer: First option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pieces of candy = 252

Number of ounces jar is it = 14

We need to find the number of pieces of candy should be there in the jar per ounce.

So, it becomes

Number of pieces of candy per ounce is given by

$\dfrac{\text{Number of pieces of candy}}{\text{Quantity of jar}}\\\\=\dfrac{252}{14}\\\\=18$

Hence, there are 18 pieces of candy per ounce in the jar.

Therefore, First option is correct.

"Per" essentially means "divided by." To find pieces per ounce, divide pieces by ounces.

(252 pieces)/(14 ounces) = (252/14) pieces/ounce = 18 pieces/ounce

Enter the amplitude of the function f(x) . f(x)=3/4cos(3x)+4

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The amplitude is $\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let f(x) be a sinusoid function that has the following format:

$f(x) = bsin(wx + s) + h$

Then b is the amplitude of the function

h is the vertical displacement of the wave

s is the phase angle

$\frac{2\pi}{w}$ is the period.

In this problem $f (x) = \frac{3}{4}cos(3x) +4$

Then $\frac{3}{4} = b$

Therefore the amplitude of the function is $\frac{3}{4}$

The amplitude is a measure of the vertical size of the sinx wave

V125BC [204]

Answer:

183.4286 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the population of weights for men attending a local health club is normally distributed with a mean of 178-lbs and a standard deviation of 25-lbs.

Total weight in the lift should not exceed 6420 lbs

No of persons limited = 35

Hence average weight of the person that should be below

$\frac{6420}{35} \\=183.4286$

If the average exceeds 183.4286 pounds then the elevator would be considered overloaded.

write an equation in slope intercept form for the line that passes through the point, and is perpendicular to the line y=-1/3x+9

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-1/3x+9

This is written in the format y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).

Perpendicular lines have a slope that is the negative inverse of the slope of the reference line, in this case -(1/3). The new slope is 3. equation is:

y = 3x + b

To find b, enter the given point, (-6,-2) and solve for b:

y = 3x + b

-2 = 3(-6) + b

-2 = -18 + b

b = 16

The full equation is y=3x + 18
