Answer:
(c) is closest to the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
The question answers itself: "Mr. Jones's prescription calls for 1.04 tablets PER DAY, thus the amount of tablets Mr. Jones should talk daily are 1.04. Since none of the answers in the answer set have '1.04' in them, we have to use some basic logic:
The list of answers are, a) 1.25. We can rule that one out as it is not 1.04. We can also rule out b) and d) using the same logic. Thus, by process of elimination, we are left with c) 1 O. Not only is 1.0 (or just 1) the closest number to the actual amount (1.04) but it also makes the most sense, as one cannot take .04 (or 4/100ths) of a pill.
17) replace the given number for "x" and evaluate
a) x² + 2x + 1 ; when x = 3
3² + 2(3) + 1
= 9 + 6 + 1
= 16
b) x² + 2x + 1 ; when x = -4
(-4)² + 2(-4) + 1
= 16 - 8 + 1
= 9
c) x² + 2x + 1 ; when x = 3
(-22.872)² + 2(-22.872) + 1
= 523.128384 - 45.744 + 1
= 478.384384
18) The dependent variable is affected by the other variable and is the "output" The independent variable is the input.
a) y = 3x - 5; "x" is the independent variable
b) the time of day is the independent variable (you would input the time of day to calculate the temperature).
19) Let the x-axis represent the length of the lumber cut off and the y-axis represent the length of the lumber remaining.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since sides AD and BC are parallel,
Angle BAD + Angle ADC = 180° (co-interior angles)
Therefore Angle ADC = 180° - 115° = 65°.
