Paul caught 3 pike and 1 salmon

The total number of fish the three boys caught is 16

<u>Solution:</u>

According to question,

Mike caught 1 pike and 4 salmon

Charlie caught 5 pike and 2 salmon

Paul caught half the number of pike that both Charlie and Mike caught combined, and 1 less salmon than Charlie caught

Pike caught by Paul = half of number of pike that both charlie and mike caught combined = \frac{1}{2} (5 + 1) = 3

Salmon caught by Paul = 1 less salmon than Charlie caught = 2 - 1 = 1

Thus, Paul caught 3 pike and 1 salmon

Total of numbers Pike caught by three boys are  

5 + 1 + 3 = 9 pikes

Total of numbers salmon caught by three boys are  

4 + 2 + 1 = 7 salmons

Hence , the total number of fish caught are

9 + 7 = 16 fishes

Marco thinks the total number of runs a team scores in a season is a better indicator of how many wins it will have in that seas
FrozenT [24]
This is a fair assumption, but not true in every instance. Since home runs do not indicate how many runs score, which are the decider in a win or a loss, they are less accurate at predicting.

I need help with this problem. <br>​
Zina [86]

Answer:

(1,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's this of y=\sqrt{x} which is it's parent function.

How do we get to y=-\sqrt{x-1}+4 from there?

It has been reflected about the a-axis because of the - in front of the square root.

It has been shifted right 1 unit because of the -(1) in the square root.

It has been moved up 4 units because of the +4 outside the square root.

In general:

y=a(x-h)^2+k has the following transformations from the parent:

Moved right h units if h is positive.

Moved left h units if h is negative.

Moved up k units if k is positive.

Moved down k units if k is negative.

If a is positive, it has not been reflected.

If a is negative, it has been reflected about the x-axis.

a also tells us about the stretching factor.

The parent function has a starting point at (0,0).  Where does this point move on the new graph?

It new graphed was the parent function but reflected over x-axis and shifted right 1 unit and moved up 4 units.

So the new starting point is (0+1,0+4)=(1,4).

The length of a rectangle is 7/6 its width, w. Which expression represents the perimeter of the rectangle?
Hitman42 [59]
If the length is 7/6 the width w then the perimeter is w + (7/6)w + w + (7/6w)
= 2((7/6)w + w) = 2w + (14/6)w = (26/6)w = (13/3)w.
So the answer is the last one.

Slope is 3, and (1,4) is on the line.
3241004551 [841]
If you are looking for the equation of the line, 

Use Point Slope Form

y-y _{1} = m(x- x_{1})&#10;&#10;

y-4 = 3(x-1)
y-4 = 3x-3

y = 3x + 1
