1/2+1/2=2/2=1 so 1/2 was eaten and the other half was leftovers.

Answer: $\dfrac{1}{2}=50\%$ of pie he eat in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Let the total pie is represented by 1.

Part of pie of left over is eaten by Tom is given by $\dfrac{1}{2}$

We need to find the part of left over.

Part of left over would be

$1-\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{2-1}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Hence, $\dfrac{1}{2}=50\%$ of pie he eat in all.

steposvetlana [31]

---------------------------------------------
Find slope :
---------------------------------------------
$\text {Slope = } \dfrac{-4 - (-4)}{-7-2} = \dfrac{0}{-9} = 0$

When the slope is 0, the graph is a horizontal line.

Equation of the graph is y = -4

------------------------------------------------------
Answer: y = -4

Precalculus question. Please help me and thank you .

VLD [36.1K]

We know,

sin(x) and cos(x) have minimum value equal to -1 and maximum value is 1.

Maximum value of sin(x) is 1

So we replace sin by 1 in our given equation

$y=-2+5sin(\frac{\pi }{12}(x-2))$

When we replace sin by 1 we will get

$y=-2+5(1))$

y= -2+5 = 3

So maximum value is 3

Find g(a-2)+3g(2a) if g(x)=x²-5x+8

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

13a² - 39a + 46

Step-by-step explanation:

To find g(a-2)+3g(2a), find each part using the function g(x)=x²-5x+8.

g(a-2) = (a-2)²-5(a-2)+8 = a² - 4a + 4-5a + 10+8 = a² - 9a + 22

3g(2a) = 3{(2a)²-5(2a)+8} = 3{ 4a² - 10a + 8} = 12a² - 30a + 24

Combine the values to find g(a-2)+3g(2a).

g(a-2)+3g(2a) = (a² - 9a + 22) + (12a² - 30a + 24) = 13a² - 39a + 46

At the local pet store, zebra fish cost $2.00 each and neon tetras cost $2.15 each. If Ernesto bought 15 fish for a total cost o

bezimeni [28]

So first create and define your variables:
Z = amount of zebra fish
N = amount of neon tetras

Now create your equations:
2z+2.15n=31.20
z+n=15
This is your system. There are multiple methods to use but in this problem I’ll use the substitution method by simplifying the bottom equation.
2z+2.15n=31.20
z=15-n
Now I’ll plug the bottom equation into the top one.
2(15-n)+2.15n=31.20
And just solve from here.
30-2n+2.15n=31.20
0.15n=1.20
n=8
So he bout 8 neon tetras, and 15-8= 7, so he bought 7 zebra fish
