Answer:

1.5b (kg)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's begin by listing out the variables we were given:

weight of the watermelon = b (kg),

weight of watermelon = (2/5) * weight of candies

weight of candies = 1 ÷ (2/5) = 1 ÷ 0.4

weight of candies = 2.5b (kg)

How much is the weight of the box of candies greater than the weight of the watermelon is given by:

weight of the box of candies - weight of watermelon= 2.5b - b = <u>1.5b</u> (kg)

<u>Therefore, the weight of the box of candies is greater than the weight of the watermelon by 1.5b (kg) </u>

Given that a function, g, has a domain of -1 ≤ x ≤ 4 and a range of 0 ≤ g(x) ≤ 18 and that g(-1) = 2 and g(2) = 8, select the st
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Option 4 is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a function g, it has a domain of -1 ≤ x ≤ 4 and a range of 0 ≤ g(x) ≤ 18. It is given that g(-1) = 2 and g(2) = 8.

The statement g(5) = 12 is not true because the value of x is 5 which is not in its domain.

The statement g(1) = -2 is not true because the value of function g(x) is -2 which is not in its range.

The statement g(2) = 4 is not true because g is a function and each function has unique output for each input value.

If g(2)=8 and g(2)=4, then the value of g(x) is 8 and 4 at x=2. It means g(x) is not a function, which is contradiction of given statement.

The statement g(3) = 18 is true because the value of x is 3 which is in the domain and the value of function g(x) is 18 which is in its range.

Therefore, the correct option is 4.

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

32.5

Step-by-step explanation:

If CED is 65, then AEB is 65, therefore we can calculate that CEA is 115 because 180 - 65 = 115. Then we do 180 - 115 = 65 which is the sum of angles ACE and CAE so 65 / 2 = 32.5 which is CAE.

Hope this helped!
