(a) A dog owner records the weight of her dog. She finds that from the age of 20 weeks to the age of 48 weeks, the dog’s weight c

an be modelled by the equation w = 0.92t−0.15 (20 ≤ t ≤ 48), where w is the weight of the dog in kilograms, and t is the age in weeks.
(i) Find the weight of the dog at age 26 weeks according to this model.
(ii) Explain the inequality (20 ≤ t ≤ 48) that follows the equation.
(iii) Using algebra, calculate the age at which the dog’s weight is 40kg
(iv) Write down the gradient of the straight line represented by the equation w = 0.92t−0.15. What does this measure in the practical situation being modelled? (v) Either using Graphplotter or by hand, sketch the graph of w = 0.92t−0.15, putting w on the vertical axis and covering the time interval 20 ≤ t ≤ 48.
(vi) Explain why the model cannot be extended to model accurately the dog’s weight at birth

Answer:

(i)23.77kg

(ii)(ii) the inequality 20≤t≤48 means the weight of the dogs determined is for dogs that have the age of 20 weeks or less to the age of 48 weeks not more.

(iii)44 weeks

(iv)0.92

(v)Attached

(vi)The value of weight will be negative,which is unrealistic.

Step-by-step explanation:

(i)Given that the weight is modeled by the equation;

w = 0.92t−0.15 (20 ≤ t ≤ 48)

then substitute the value of t in the equation given that t=26 weeks

w=0.92*26-0.15=23.77kg

(ii) the inequality 20≤t≤48 means the weight of the dogs determined is for dogs that have the age of 20 weeks or less to the age of 48 weeks not more.

(iii)Apply the equation for weight

w=0.92t-0.15

40=0.92t-0.15

40+0.15=0.92t

40.15=0.92t

40.15/0.92=t

43.6⇒⇒44 weeks

(iv) Here , write the equation in slope intercept form of y=mx+c where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

w=0.92t-0.15

y=mx+c

m=0.92

(v)sketch attached

(vi)

At birth, t=0 hence to find weight

w=0.92t-0.15

w=0.92*0-0.15

w=0-0.15

w=-0.15

The model cannot be extended to model accurately the dog's weight at birth because you will get a negative value for weight which is not realistic.

What kinds of information are creditors looking for?
ValentinkaMS [17]
Well, since a creditor is defined as "<span>a person or company to whom money is owe", that probably means they are looking for financial information, or maybe your address to keep up with you and assuring you pay back the owed money. I could be wrong though</span>

A spherical ball has a diameter of 8 inches. The ball has a slow leak in which the air escapes at the rate of 2.5 inches per sec
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

107.2 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

the diameter of ball 8 inches

radius= 8/2 = 4 in

The volume of the ball

v=4/3 \pi r^3

v= 4/3*3.142*4^3\\\\v= 4/3*3.142*64\\\\v= 804.35/3\\\\v=268.12 in^3

Step two:

we know that

rate= quantity/time

rate= 2.4 in per second

quantity= 268.12

time=?

time= quantity/rate

time= 268.12/2.5

time= 107.2 seconds

I need the smaller and larger angle
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x)+(3x+13)=90                

if you look at the beam, it includes a 90 degree angle.

7x+13=90

distributive property

7x=77

subtracted both sides by 13

x=11

divided both sides by 7 to isolate x

4(11)         3(11)+13

44             33+13

                36

4(x) is the larger angle
