Answer: 48

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Define the number of cakes they baked in term of x
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let the number of cakes Kay baked be x

Kay = x
Tim = 3x                ← Tim baked 3 times as many as Kay
Griff = 1.5x            ← Griff baked 1/2 as many as Tim

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Construct the equation and solve for x
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The total number of cakes baked was 88.

x + 3x + 1.5x = 88        ← Combine like terms
5.5 x = 88                     ← Divide by 5.5
÷5.5    ÷5.5
x = 16

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the number of cakes each baked
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kay = x = 16
TIm = 3x = 16 x 3 = 48
Griff = 1.5x = 1.5(16) = 24

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Tim baked 48 cakes.

Which of the following have the property that a(x)=a−1(x)? I. y=x II. y=1/x III.y=x^2 IV. y=x^3 A. I and II, only B. IV, only C.
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

<em>Correct answer:</em>

<em>A. I and II</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let us have a look at the steps of finding inverse of a function.

1. Replace y with x and x with y.

2. Solve for y.

3. Replace y with f^{-1}(x)

Given that:

I.\ y=x \\II.\ y=\dfrac{1}x \\III.\ y=x^2 \\IV.\ y=x^3

Now, let us find inverse of each option one by one.

I. y = x, a(x) = x

Replacing y with and x with y:

x = y

x = a^{-1}(x) = a(x)  Hence, I is true.

II. y =\dfrac{1}{x}

Replacing y with and x with y:

x =\dfrac{1}{y}

x=\dfrac{1}{a^{-1}(x)}

\Rightarrow a^{-1}(x) = \dfrac{1}{x}

a^{-1}(x) = a(x)  Hence, II is true.

III. y =x^{2}

Replacing y with and x with y:

x =y^{2}\\\Rightarrow y = \sqrt x\\\Rightarrow a^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{x} \ne a(x)

 Hence, III is not true.

IV. y =x^{3}

Replacing y with and x with y:

x =y^{3}\\\Rightarrow y = \sqrt[3] x\\\Rightarrow a^{-1}(x) = \sqrt[3]{x} \ne a(x)

Hence, IV is not true.

<em>Correct answer:</em>

<em>A. I and II</em>

Gabrielle is baking large batches of brownies and cookies to share with her friends and family. Among other ingredients, her bro
USPshnik [31]

The system of inequalities can model Gabrielle’s situation is;

x + 2y ≤ 20

x + 2y ≤ 203x + 2y ≤ 21

<h3>Inequality</h3>

It follows from the task content, that the inequalities which can be used to model Gabrielle's situation be determined.

By setting variables as follows;

  • batches of brownies = x
  • batches of cookies = y

Brownie:

Sugar = 1 cup

Eggs = 2

Cookie:

Sugar = 3 cups

Eggs = 2

x + 2y ≤ 20

x + 2y ≤ 203x + 2y ≤ 21

At work, Jack must stuff 1000 envelopes with advertisements. He can stuff 12 envelopes in one minute, and he has 112 envelopes a
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

It will take Jack 74 minutes(1 hour and 14 minutes) to complete the task

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we know that he has 1000 envelopes to stuff.

Now, he has already stuffed 112 out of the 1000. Number of envelopes left to be stuffed will be 1000 -112 = 888 envelops

We were told that it takes him 1 minute to stuff 12 envelopes.

Let the time it will take him to stuff 888 envelopes be x minutes;

Let’s have a relationship here;

12 envelopes = 1 minute

888 envelopes = x minutes

12 * x = 888 * 1

12x = 888

x = 888/12

x = 74 minutes
