<em>The question has inconsistent or incomplete data, so I'm filling the holes with key data.</em>

Answer:

<em>Every people at dinner received one-tenth of the original turkey= 0.1</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

If some fraction a/b of a whole total M is to be computed and later removed, we proceed as follows

* Compute the portion to be removed as a/b*M

* Subtract it from the total quantity: M-a/b*M=M(1-a/b)

I'm assuming 1/5 of the turkey was lost due to overcooking. It means that (1-1/5) of the turkey remained for dinner, that is, 4/5 of the turkey.

Each people at dinner received the same amount of the remaining, so we must divide 4/5 by 8, to get 4/40, or 1/10. It means that every people at dinner received one-tenth of the original turkey

I need help with this..
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

a0) 2

  x<0

a1) x

   0≤x<3

a2) 3

     x≥3

Step-by-step explanation:

As shown in the given graph

function of y is a straight line at y=2 line till x=0

hence a0:

y= 2 for x<0

Then function becomes linear line from x=0 till x=3

hence a1:

y= x for 0≤x<3

Now after that graph of function y again shift to straight line from x=3 onward with y-axis value of 3

hence a2:

y= 3 for x≥3 !

The bases in a major league diamond are locate at the corners of a 900 yd^2 square as pictures below. a player throws a baseball
Licemer1 [7]
To answer this, you will use the area of 900 square yards to determine the distances between the bases.  Each side of the square is 30 yards, so it will be 30 yards from 1st to home and from 1st to 2nd.  

The distance from home to 2nd is a diagonal in the square (the hypotenuse).

You will use the Pythagorean Theorem to find this distance.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
30^2 + 30 ^2 = c^2
900 + 900 + c^2
1800 = c^2

The square root of 1800 is approximately 42.4 yards.

The ball travels approximately 42.4 yards.
