If p(x) is a function, then a real-world example might be
The amount of fish food, in grams required for the giant koi fish in the pond can be represented by the function
. If there are 50 fish, how many grams of fish food will you need?
Answer:
5 hrs
Step-by-step explanation:
7 1/2 hours equates to 450 minutes total
2/3 of 450 = 300 total minutes
turning the minutes back into hours, 300 / 60 = <u>5</u>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Add subtract then divide
Answer:
<em>y = (-mi/h)x + b</em>
y = total distance left to cover
-mi/h = speed at wich he is covering ground
b = the total distance to cover from start to finish
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope Intercept form without other variables filled is shown like this with <em>mx </em>being the slope and <em>b </em>being the y intercept
<em>y = mx + b</em>
all we need to do is fill in known variables with hours multiplied by <em>x </em>represented as <em>m</em>...
<em>y = (-mi/h)x + b</em>
note the negative symbol, this shows that the higher that miles an hour (mi/h) aka speed is, the more distance he will cover REDUCING the distance to cover faster meaning the line will slope DOWNWARD
<em>b</em> would be the the total distance that he has started with, meaning on the point where the line crosses the y axis, the number it crosses at will represent how much he has started with
