A chef uses 4 cups of potatoes to make a batch of mashed potatoes. If p represents the number of cups of potatoes, which equatio

n models this situation?
A-p = 4n, where n is the number of batches.
B-p = 4n, where n is 1 batch of mashed potatoes.
C-p = n4n4, where n is the number of cups of potatoes in a batch.
D-p = n4n4, where n is the number of batches.

It will be A. The amount of potatoes is 4 times the amount of batches you make.

Which equation does the graph of the systems of equations solve?

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

$\text{B. }\frac{1}{3}x-3=-x+1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by taking a look at the blue line. The slope of any line that passes through two points is equal to the change in y-values over the change in x-values. We can see that the line passes through points (0, 1) and (1, 0). Assign these points to $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ (doesn't matter which you assign) and use the slope formula:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Let:

$(x_1,y_1)\implies (0,1)\\(x_2,y_2)\implies (1, 0)$

The slope is equal to:

$m=\frac{0-1}{1-0}=\frac{-1}{1}=-1$

Therefore, the slope of this line is -1. In slope-intercept form $y=mx+b$ , $m$ represents slope, so one of the lines must have a term with $-x$ in it, which eliminates answer choices A and D.

For the second line, do the same thing. The red line clearly passes through (0, -3) and (3, -2). Therefore, let:

$(x_1,y_1)\implies (0,-3)\\(x_2,y_2)\implies (3, -2)$

Using the slope formula:

$m=\frac{-2-(-3)}{3-0}=\frac{1}{3}$

Thus, the slope of the line is 1/3 and the other line must have a term with $\frac{1}{3}x$ in it, eliminating answer choice C and leaving the answer $\boxed{\text{B. }\frac{1}{3}x-3=-x+1}$

*You can find the exact equation of each line by using the slope formula as shown and plugging in any point the line passes through into $y=mx+b$

A tennis player keeps track of the number of successful first serves he makes. During the first 8 service points of a game, only

Andru [333]

Answer:

He needs 7 more consecutive successful first serves to raise his first serve percentage to 60%.

Step-by-step explanation:

After n consecutive serves, his total number of serves is going to be n+8, since he has already served 8 times. In the best case, his number of successful first serves is n+2.

His percentage of succesful first serves is the division of the number of succesful first serves divided by the total number of serves. So

$P = \frac{n+2}{n+8}$

We want $P = 0.60$ . So

$0.6 = \frac{n+2}{n+8}$

$n+2 = 0.6*(n+8)$

$n + 2 = 0.6n + 4.8$

$n - 0.6n = 4.8 - 2$

$0.4n = 2.8$

$n = \frac{2.8}{0.4}$

$n = 7$

He needs 7 more consecutive successful first serves to raise his first serve percentage to 60%.
