Answer:

see the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of dogs

y ---> the number of cats

we know that

The ratio of the number of dogs to the number of cats is 4:5

so

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{4}{5}

x=\frac{4}{5}y ----> equation A

That means ---> The number of dogs is 4/5 the number of cats

There are 270 animals on the rescue farm

so

x+y=270 ----> equation B

Substitute equation A in equation B

\frac{4}{5}y+y=270

solve for y

\frac{9}{5}y=270

y=270(5)/9\\y=150\ cats

Find the value of x

x=\frac{4}{5}(150)=120\ dogs

<u><em>Verify each statement</em></u>

a) The number of dogs is 4/5 the number of cats

The statement is true (see the explanation)

b) 4/5 of the pets at the farm are dogs

The statement is false

Because

(4/5)(270)=216 dogs

The number of dogs is 120 not 216 (see the explanation)

c)  There are exactly 30 more cats than dogs

The statement is true

Because, there are 150 cats and 120 dogs (see the explanation)

d) There are exactly 30 dogs at the farm

The statement is false

Because, there are 120 dogs in the farm (see the explanation)

e) 5/9 of the pets at the farm are cats

The statement is true

Because

(5/9)270=150 cats

The number of cats is 150 (see the explanation)

Please help me with this homework
soldi70 [24.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

we see f(x), which is |x|.

and we see g(x), which is clearly the same basic graph, it is just shifted 3 units down in y direction.

shifts are simply done by keeping the original function definition and then add it subtract a certain constant that then adapts every original functional value.

so, a shift down by 3 units is done by adding -3.

therefore, C is the correct answer (the original f(x) - 3).

Area of solid shapes ​
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Surface-area. If a solid is composed of flat surfaces, such as the cube on the right, the surface area is simply the sum of the areas of the flat surfaces (called faces). So, for example, if a each edge of a cube has a length s, the area of one face is s2 since it is a square.
