Answer:

20 students

Step-by-step explanation:

If the class decreased by 15%, the students that she has now (17) represents a percentaje of:

100% - 15% = 85%

so<u> the 17 students are 85% of what she had</u>:

Students         Percentage

      17          ⇒        85%

and we are looking for how many students she had 2 years ago, thus we are looking for the <u>100%</u> of students (the original number of studens). If we represent this number by x:

Students         Percentage

      17          ⇒        85%

      x          ⇒        100%

and we solve this problem using the <u>rule of three</u>: multiply the cross quantities on the table( 17 and 100) and then divide by the remaining amount (85):

x = 17*100/85

x = 1700/85

x=20

Using linear function concepts, it is found that:

a) The initial value is of 3 and the rate of change is of 20.

b) The rate of change means that for <u>each hour, the cost increases by 3 Dhs</u>, while the initial value means that <u>a flat fee of 20 Dhs is paid</u>.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and also can be considered as the initial value.

In this problem, the function that gives the charge C for renting a bicycle for h hours is:

C(h) = 3h + 20

Item a:

Comparing to the standard function, we have that:

  • The initial value is of 3 and the rate of change is of 20.

Item b:

The rate of change means that for <u>each hour, the cost increases by 3 Dhs</u>, while the initial value means that <u>a flat fee of 20 Dhs is paid</u>.

Which of the following could not be true for a function?
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

C) Domain is {2}, Range is {2, 3}

Step-by-step explanation:

For one value of x there are two values of y, which contradicts the definition of a function.

Definition of a function:

A function is an equation for which any x that can be plugged into the equation will yield exactly one y out of the equation.

<em>All the other options follow this definition except C</em>

Why is there always more than one parallelogram with the same area and base​
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

If every line parallel to two lines intersects both regions in line segments of equal length, then the two regions have equal areas. In the case of your problem, every line parallel to the bases of the two parallelograms will intersect them in lines segments, each with a width of ℓ.
