Answer:

Domain: [7, ∞)

Range: [9, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) This question may be easily answered if you are aware of the shape of the graph of sq. root x, and the effect of translations to graphs.

1. x - 7 means that the original graph is translated 7 units in the positive direction of the x-axis (ie. to the right), thus the minimum value for x is also shifted from 0 to 7

2. the + 9 means that the graph is translated 9 units in the positive direction of the y-axis (ie. up), thus the minimum y-value is also shifted from 0 to 9

3. We know that the graph will continue to infinity, both in the x- and y-direction

Thus, the domain would be [7, ∞) and the range [9, ∞)

2) Another way to think about it is to ask yourself when it would make sense for the graph to exist. For this, we must consider that you cannot take the square root of a negative number.

Thus, if we have the square root of (x - 7), for what value of x would (x - 7) be negative? If x = 7:

x - 7 = 7 - 7 = 0

Therefor, any x-value less than 7 will lead to a negative answer, which wouldn't be practical. Any value equal to or greater than 7 will lead to a positive answer, thus the permissible values for x are from 7 to infinity, and so the domain is [7, ∞) (note that square brackets are used for 7 as it is included in the domain, whereas infinity is always closed with round brackets).

If we have already found the domain, then we can simply substitute the values for this into the equation to obtain the range (note that this will work for a square root function, however some functions will have turning points and in this case you must calculate the range based on the turning points as well as the minimum and maximum x-values):

if x = 7: y = sq. root (7-7) + 9

= 9

This is the minimum value for y

if we have x = ∞, then the y value will also be infinitely great, therefor the maximum y-value is also ∞. Thus, the range is [9, ∞).

These questions are much easier to solve however if you are already aware of the basic graph and the effect of dilations, translations and reflections so that you may visualise it better.

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:  693 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

A(t) =A_0e^{kt}

k = rate constant

t = time taken for decomposition = 1

A_0 = Initial amount of the reactant

A_t = amount of the reactant left =A_0-\frac{0.1}{100}\times A_0=0.999A_0

0.999A_0=A_0e^{k\times 1}

0.999=e^k

k=-0.001year^{-1}

for half life : t=t_\frac{1}{2}

A_t=\frac{1}{2}A_o

Putting in the values , we get

\frac{1}{2}A_0=A_0e^{-0.001\times t_\frac{1}{2}

t_\frac{1}{2}=693 years

Thus half life of this isotope, to the nearest year is 693.

An object has volume 36 cubic inches. A box has side lengths 1 foor by 3 inches by 4 inches.
nevsk [136]

Answer:

<u>4 Objects can fit in the box</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

First, translate the box's 1-foot side into 12 inches. Now multiply all the box's sides together to get 12*3*4. This will equal 144 cubic inches. Now divide 144 by 36 to get 4.
