(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.

In the pup tent shown at the right, the two sides meet at the top to form a 72 angle. If the tent pole bisects the angle, what a
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

36°

Step-by-step explanation:

The image of the question is obtained online and attached to the solution of this question.

The tent pole is the line in the middle of the triangle and it is stated explicitly in the question that this tent pole bisects the angle that the two sides make with each other at the top.

So, the angle that the tent pole makes with each side = (72°/2) = 36°

Write the equation of a line perpendicular to y = -5/6x -3 and whose y-intercept is (0,11). I fr need help..
Sloan [31]

Hey!

A perpendicular line has the slope as the negative reciprocal of the given line, so therefore the new lines slope would be...

y = 6/5x + b

Now to find the y-intercept you will have to just plug in the given point/coordinate in the equation above and solve for b...

11 = 6/5(0) = b

11 = b

Put the given slope and y-intercept in a slope intercept form equation (slope intercept form is y = mx + b)...

y = 6/5x + 11

This new equation is:

1) perpendicular to the given equation

2) in slope intercept form

Answer: y = 6/5x + 11


Hope this Helped!

Reggie has $36.40 in nickels and $36.40 in dimes. What is the ratio of the number of nickels to the number of dimes that Reggie
Dmitry [639]

D 2:1, because a dime is worth twice as much as a nickel

Because the question has number of nickels listed first in the ratio that makes the answer 2:1 as opposed to B 1:2. Also, two nickels equal the same amount as one dime so for every two nickels there is one dime. In this case, there are 728 nickels and 364 dimes. 728/364 = 2/1 (simplifies down to the fourth ratio given)
