Alonzo and miguel scored a total of 54 points in the basketball game. Miguel scored four more points than alonzo

1 answer:

6 0

Lets call a to the Alonzo amount of points and m to the Miguel amount of points and write equations out of the problem's info:
a + m = 54
m = a + 4
rearrange:
 a + m = 54
-a + m = 4
add the two equations:
 a + m = 54
-a + m = 4
-----------------
0 + 2m = 58
m = 29
and susbstitute in the first equation:
a + m = 54
a + 29 = 54
a = 54 - 29
a = 25
therefore Alonzo scores 25 points and Mike 29

Since the rate of descent is a constant this is a linear equation and can be expressed as:

h=vt+b, where h=feet, v=slope or rate, b=y-intercept (y value when x=0 which is the initial height)

h=-2t+b, using the point (3,67) we can solve for b, or the initial height

67=-2(3)+b

67=-6+b

73=b so the initial height was 73 ft and the height equation is then:

h(t)=67-2t so when t=8 you have:

h(8)=67-2(8)

h(8)=67-16

h(8)=51 ft

In Exercise,find the horizontal asymptote of the graph of the function. f(x) = 8x^3+2/2x^3+x

KIM [24]

Answer:

Horizontal asymptote of the graph of the function f(x) = (8x^3+2)/(2x^3+x) is at y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

I attached the graph of the function.

Graphically, it can be seen that the horizontal asymptote of the graph of the function is at y=4. There is also a vertical asymptote at x=0

When denominator's degree (3) is the same as the nominator's degree (3) then the horizontal asymptote is at (numerator's leading coefficient (8) divided by denominator's lading coefficient (2)) $y=\frac{8}{2}=4$
