Answer:

Total number of Jelly beans in the sack = 72

Number of red beans = 36

Number of green beans = 12

Number of yellow beans = 12

Number of orange beans = 6

Number of black beans = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of jelly beans be =x

We are given fractions of different colors of beans. To find the exact number of beans we need to multiply the fraction with the total number of beans.

Fraction of total are red beans = \frac{1}{2}

Number of red beans = \frac{1}{2}\times x= \frac{x}{2}

Fraction of total are green beans = \frac{1}{6}

Number of green beans = \frac{1}{6}\times x= \frac{x}{6}

Fraction of total are yellow beans = \frac{1}{6}

Number of yellow beans = \frac{1}{6}\times x= \frac{x}{6}

Fraction of total are orange beans = \frac{1}{12}

Number of orange beans = \frac{1}{12}\times x= \frac{x}{12}

Number of black beans = 6

Total number of beans can be given as

\frac{x}{2}+\frac{x}{6}+\frac{x}{6}+\frac{x}{12}+6

Since we assumed total number of beans to be x, so we have.

\frac{x}{2}+\frac{x}{6}+\frac{x}{6}+\frac{x}{12}+6=x

Multiplying each term by 12 to remove fractions.

(12\times\frac{x}{2})+(12\times\frac{x}{6})+(12\times\frac{x}{6})+(12\times\frac{x}{12})+(12\times6)=12\times x

6x+2x+2x+x+72=12x

combining like terms.

11x+72=12x

Subtracting both sides by 11x

11x+72-11x=12x=11x

72=x

∴ x=72

Total number of Jelly beans in the sack = 72

Number of red beans = \frac{1}{2}\times 72= 36

Number of green beans = \frac{1}{6}\times 72= 12

Number of yellow beans = \frac{1}{6}\times 72= 12

Number of orange beans = \frac{1}{12}\times 72= 6

number of black beans = 6

The table below represents a linear function in the equation represents a function. table numbers are X: -1,0,1. f(x): -3,0,3. G
Alexxx [7]
A)
SLOPE OF f(x)
To find the slope of f(x) we pick two points on the function and use the slope formula. Each point can be written (x, f(x) ) so we are given three points in the table. These are: (-1, -3) , (0,0) and (1,3). We can also refer to the points as (x,y). We call one of the points ( x_{1} , y_{1} ) and another ( x_{2} , y_{2} ). It doesn't matter which two points we use, we will always get the same slope. I suggest we use (0,0) as one of the points since zeros are easy to work with.

Let's pick as follows:
( x_{1} , y_{1} )= (0.0)
( x_{2} , y_{2} )= (1.3)

The slope formula is: m= \frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{ x_{2}- x_{1}  }
We now substitute the values we got from the points to obtain.
m= \frac{3-0}{ 1-0 } = \frac{3}{1}=3

The slope of f(x) = 3

SLOPE OF g(x)
The equation of a line is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. Since g(x) is given in this form, the number in front of the x is the slope and the number by itself is the y-intercept.

That is, since g(x)=7x+2 the slope is 7 and the y-intercept is 2.

The slope of g(x) = 2

B)
Y-INTERCEPT OF g(x)
From the work in part a we know the y-intercept of g(x) is 2.

Y-INTERCEPT OF f(x)
The y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis. This point will always have an x-coordinate of 0 which is why we need only identify the y-coordinate. Since you are given the point (0,0) which has an x-coordinate of 0 this must be the point where the line crosses the y-axis. Since the point also has a y-coordinate of 0, it's y-intercept is 0

So the function g(x) has the greater y-intercept
