Answer:

The number of duck is 32.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of rabbits.

Let y represent the number of ducks

From the question given:

The sum of rabbit and duck is 36 i.e

x + y = 36 .... (1)

The sum of the feets of the rabbit and duck is 80.

Rabbits has 4 legs

Duck has 2 legs

Therefore, the sum their feets (i.e 80) can be written as:

4x + 2y = 80 .... (2)

The equations are:

x + y = 36 .... (1)

4x + 2y = 80 .... (2)

Solving by substitution method:

From equation (1)

x + y = 36

Make x the subject

x + y = 36

x = 36 - y

Substitute the value of x into equation (2)

4x + 2y = 80

x = 36 - y

4(36 - y) + 2y = 80

Clear bracket

144 - 4y + 2y = 80

144 - 2y = 80

Collect like terms

- 2y = 80 - 144

- 2y = - 64

Divide both side by - 2

y = - 64/ - 2

y = 32

Therefore, the number of duck is 32.

What transformations change the graph of f(x) to the graph of g(x)?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

For this case we have that the main function is given by:

f (x) = - 7x ^ 2

We apply the following transformations:

Vertical expansions:

To graph y = a * f (x)

If a> 1, the graph of y = f (x) is expanded vertically by a factor a.

For a = 5 we have:

h (x) = 5 * f (x)\\h (x) = 5 * (- 7x ^ 2)\\h (x) = - 35x ^ 2

Vertical translations:

Suppose that k> 0

To graph y = f (x) + k, move the graph of k units up.

For k = 5 we have:

g (x) = h (x) + k\\g (x) = - 35x ^ 2 + 5

Answer:

The graph of g (x) is the graph of f (x) stretched vertically by a factor of 5 and translated up 5 units.

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Total donation by Alonzo's mother = $40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question.

Alonzo will participate in a charity walkathon.Her Mother will donate $10 for Alonzo participation plus and additional $2 for each mile that Alonzo walks.

If Alonzo walks 15 miles, What will be the amount of her mother’s donation?

Alonzo's mum donates $10 for participation and an additional $2 per mile.

Alonzo walks 15 miles, this translates to an additional donation of (15×$2) = $30

Total donation by Alonzo's mother = $10 + $30 = $40.

Hope this Helps!!!
