Answer: -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope=rise/run

In this case we rise up 4

And we run 2 to the left which makes it a negative

So in this case the slope is -4/2

Which can be simplified to -2

Mai has a dome paperweight that she can use as a magnifier. The paperweight is

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

6 x 6 x 3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the box needs to fit the base of the hemisphere.

The maximum width and length of the hemisphere is the diameter of the base of the hemisphere (which is circular)

Diameter of a circle = 2r

As the radius = 3 cm, the diameter = 2 x 3 = 6 cm

Therefore, the width and length of the box should both be 6cm

The height of the box needs to accommodate the height of the hemisphere. The height of the hemisphere is the radius, so the height of the box should be 3 cm.

Therefore, the dimensions of the box should be 6 x 6 x 3 cm

A devastating freeze in California's Central Valley in January 2007 wiped out approximately 75% of the state's citrus crop. It t

solniwko [45]

The relationship between the percentage of frozen citrus crop, and the cost of box of oranges is an illustration of a linear function.

The linear equation of the function is: $g(P) = 22.9P+7$ .
The inverse function is: $g^{-1}(c) = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)$ .
A practical domain is from 0% to 100%
A practical range is from 7 to 29.9

A. Input quantity

The input quantity is the percentage of frozen citrus crop

B. Output quantity

The output quantity is the cost of box of oranges

C. The linear function

We have:

$(P_1,c_1) = (20\%,11.58)\\(P_2,c_2) = (80\%,25.32)$

Calculate the slope of the function

$m = \frac{c_2 - c_1}{P_2 - P_1}$

$m = \frac{25.32 - 11.58}{80\%-20\%}$

$m = \frac{13.74}{60\%}$

$m = 22.9$

The linear equation is calculated as follows:

$c -c_1 = m(P-P_1)$

$c -11.58= 22.9(P-20\%)$

$c-11.58 = 22.9P-4.58$

D. Rewrite as y = mx + b

We have:

$c-11.58 = 22.9P-4.58$

Collect like terms

$c = 22.9P - 4.58 + 11.58$

$c = 22.9P+7$

The function is:

$g(P) = 22.9P+7$

E. A practical domain

The domain is the possible values of P. Because P is a percentage, its possible values are 0% to 100%.

The domain of the function is: $[0\%,100\%]$

F. A practical range

When P = 0%

$c = 22.9 \times 0\% + 7 = 7$

When P = 100%

$c = 22.9 \times 100\% + 7 = 29.9$

Hence, the range of the function is: $[7,29.9]$

G. The meaning of $g^{-1}(12)$

The inverse function of g(P) is $g^{-1}(P)$

So:

$g^{-1}(12)$ is the percentage of frozen citrus crop, when the cost is $12.

H. The inverse formula

We have:

$c = 22.9P+7$

Subtract 7 from both sides

$c - 7 = 22.9P$

Make P the subject

$P = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)$

So, the inverse formula is:

$g^{-1}(c) = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)$

Substitute 12 for c

$g^{-1}(12) = \frac{1}{22.9}(12 - 7)$

$g^{-1}(12) = \frac{1}{22.9} \times 5$

$g^{-1}(12) = 22\%$

The board of an internet start up company has sixteen members. if one person is in charge of research and one is in charge of ma

Brilliant_brown [7]

The number of ways in which the position of one person in charge of research and one person in charge of marketing can be chosen from the board of 16 members is 240 ways. Computed using permutations.

The permutation is the way of choosing a set of objects from a larger set of objects in a specific sequence.

If we are choosing r number of objects, from n number of objects in a specific sequence, then we follow permutation, and it is given as:

nPr = n!{(n - r)!}.

In the question, we are asked to find the number of ways in which the position of one person in charge of research and one person in charge of marketing can be chosen from the board of 16 members.

Since the position is to be chosen in a specific order, we will follow permutation.

The number of positions to be chosen (r) = 2.

The number of members (n) = 16.

Thus, the number of ways is given as:

nPr = n!{(n - r)!},

or, 16P2 = 16!{(16 - 2)!},

or, 16P2 = 16!/14! = 15*16 = 240.

Thus, the number of ways in which the position of one person in charge of research and one person in charge of marketing can be chosen from the board of 16 members is 240 ways. Computed using permutations.
