While exercising, a person’s recommended target heart rate is a function of age. The recommended number of beats per minute, y ,

is given by the function y=f(x)=−0.85x+187 where x represents a person’s age in years. Determine the number of recommended heart beats per minute for your age. Show each step in the process of this calculation.

Answer:

170 heart beat per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

While exercising, a person’s recommended target heart rate is a function of age. The recommended number of beats per minute, y, is given by the function y = f(x) = − 0.85x + 187 where x represents a person’s age in years.

So, if my age is 21 years i.e. x = 21, then the number of recommended heart beats per minute for my age will be

y = f(21) = - 0.85(21) + 187 = - 17.85 + 187 = 169.15 ≈ 170. (Answer)

It takes three hours for a boat to go 18 miles downstream, and nine hours to return. What is the rate of the boat in calm water
vampirchik [111]

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = rate × time

If B is the rate of the boat, and C is the rate of the current, then we can write two equations:

18 = (B + C) × 3

18 = (B − C) × 9

Simplifying the equations:

6 = B + C

2 = B − C

Add the equations together to eliminate C:

8 = 2B

B = 4

Plug into either equation to find C:

C = 2

The boat's rate is 4 mph, and the current's rate is 2 mph.

I think of a number, add 8 to it and the result is 14. Find the number​
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for this would be:

n+8=14, since we are adding 8 to a number and getting 14

To solve, isolate the variable n, by subtracting 8 from both sides

n+8=14

n+8-8=14-8

n=6

The number is 6

Which inequality is represented by the graph? y≥35x−1.5 y≤35x−1.5 y<35x−1.5 y>35x−1.5
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

y > 0.6x - 1.5

Step-by-step Explanation:

We need two points, to get to the equation of the graph.

Since we've got the following equation for two points (x1, y1), (x2, y2):-

\boxed{ \mathsf{ \red{y - y_{1} =  \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}} (x - x_{1})  }}}

okay soo

I found two points that lie on this graph, not on the shaded region but yeah the dotted line which defines the graph.

one point is <u>(0, -1.5)</u> which lies on the y axis(the point where the dotted line touches the y axis)

other point is <u>(2.5, 0)</u> and this lies on the x axis

placing these points in the place of (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) in the above mentioned equation

\mathsf{\implies y - ( - 1.5) =  \frac{0 -( - 1.5)}{2.5 -0 } (x -0 )}

you can take any one as (x1, y1) or (x2, y2).

so upon solving the above equation we get

\mathsf{\implies (y  +  1.5) =  \frac{0  +  1.5}{2.5  } (x  )}

\mathsf{\implies y  +  1.5 =  \frac{ 1.5}{2.5  } x  }

\mathsf{\implies y  +  1.5 =  \frac{ \cancel{1.5}\:\:{}^3}{\cancel{2.5}\:\:{}^5 } x  }

\mathsf{\implies y  +  1.5 =  \frac{ 3}{5 } x  }

multiplying both sides by 5

\mathsf{5y + 7.5 = 3x}

okay so this is the required equation of the dotted line

now we'll find the inequality

for this check whether the origin (0,0) lies under the shaded region or not

in this case it does

so

replacing x and y with 0

\mathsf{\implies5(0) + 7.5 = 3(0)}

\mathsf{\implies0 + 7.5 = 0}

this is absurd, 7.5 is not equal to 0 so we're gonna replace that equals sign with that of inequality

7.5 is greater than 0! so,

\mathsf{\implies7.5 > 0}

this goes for the whole equation, since we didnt swap any thing from left to right side of the equation or vice versa we can use this sign, to obtain the required inequality

\mathsf{5y + 7.5 > 3x}

dividing this inequality by 5, since there's no co-efficient in front of y in the given answers

we get

y + 1.5 > 0.6x

taking 1.5 to the RHS

<h3>y > 0.6x - 1.5 </h3>

that is the last option
