Answer:

2x + 4y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Wheat flour</u>

4 pounds for $8 ⇒ 1 pound for $8/4 = $2

<u>Rye flour</u>

5 pounds for $20 ⇒ 1 pound for $20/5 = $4

<u>Equation for total:</u>

2x + 4y = 12

The function y=-x^2+65x+256 models the number y of subscribers to a website, where x is the number of days since the website lau

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

$y = 30x+290$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y=-x^2+65x+256$

Required

The linear function of a competitor's website

On day 1, both websites have the same subscribers.

This implies that:

$y=-x^2+65x+256$

Substitute: $x =1$

$y=-(1)^2+65*1+256$

$y=-1+65+256$

$y=320$

This implies:

$(x_1,y_1) = (1,320)$

On day 34, both websites have the same subscribers.

This implies that:

$y=-x^2+65x+256$

Substitute: $x =34$

$y=-(34)^2+65*34+256$

$y=-1156+2210+256$

$y=1310$

This implies:

$(x_2,y_2) = (34,1310)$

To calculate the linear function of the competitor, we have:

$(x_1,y_1) = (1,320)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (34,1310)$

Calculate slope (m)

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 -x_1}$

$m = \frac{1310 - 320}{34-1}$

$m = \frac{990}{33}$

$m = 30$

The equation is then calculated as:

$y = m(x - x_1) + y_1$

This gives:

$y = 30 * (x - 1) + 320$

Open bracket

$y = 30x - 30 + 320$

<em></em> $y = 30x+290$ <em> --- This represents the linear function of the competitor's website</em>

butalik [34]

Answer:

1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let O = an odd number and E an even number.

The possible outcomes for an odd sum are:

OOO

OEE

EOE

EEO

The probability of an odd on each pick = 50/100 = 1/2 and for an even it is also 1/2.

Prob( O O O) = 1/2*1/2*1/2 = 1/8.

The probability for the other 3 possible outcomes is also 1/8 , therefore the probability for odd number totals = 4 * 1/8

= 1/2.
