The office manager ordered 140 reams of printer paper. Based on average daily use, they know that 140 reams of paper will last a

bout 80 days. Write the equation in slope intercept form and graph this situation.
Define variables:
Let x = ?
Let y = ?

The equation in slope-intercept form is:

What is the reasonable domain for this situation?

What is the reasonable range for this situation?

What is the rate of change and what does it represent?

What does the x-intercept represent in this situation?

What does the y-intercept represent in this situation?

Let

x--------> the number of days

y--------> the number of reams of paper

we know that

For x=0 days  y=140 reams of paper--------> point A(0,140)

<u>The point A is the y-intercept </u>-----> remember that the y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

For x=80 days  y=0 reams of paper--------> point B(80,0)

<u>The point B is the x-intercept </u>-----> remember that the x-intercept is the value of x when the value of y is equal to zero

Step 1  

Find the equation in slope-intercept form

<u>Find the slope of the points A and B</u>

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

substitute

m=(0-140)/(80-0)-------> m=-140/80

m=-1.75 \frac{reams}{day}

the equation in slope-intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

b is the coordinate of y in the y-intercept point

so

b=140

substitute

y=-1.75x+140

therefore

<u>the answer part 1) is </u>

the equation in slope-intercept form is equal to y=-1.75x+140

Step 2

<u>Find the reasonable domain for this situation</u>

the domain are the values for x

x\geq0\\x\leq 80\\0\leq x \leq80

therefore

the domain is the interval-------> [0,80]

Step 3

Find the reasonable range for this situation

the range are the values for y

y\geq0\\y\leq 140\\0\leq y \leq140

therefore

the range is the interval-------> [0,140]

Step 4

What is the rate of change and what does it represent?

the rate of change is the slope of the equation of the line

in this problem

m=-1.75\frac{reams}{day}

the rate of change represents the amount of reams that are consumed per day, is negative because each day is becoming smaller

Step 5

What does the x-intercept represent in this situation?

For x=80 days  y=0 reams of paper--------> point B(80,0)

<u>The point B is the x-intercept </u>-----> remember that the x-intercept is the value of x when the value of y is equal to zero

The x-intercept represents the day 80, day in which the amount of reams is zero

Step 6

What does the y-intercept represent in this situation?

For x=0 days  y=140 reams of paper--------> point A(0,140)

<u>The point A is the y-intercept </u>-----> remember that the y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

The y-intercept represents the day 0, day in which the amount of reams is 140

Attachment below <br> algebra helppppp

Answer: second option.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this exercise, it is necessary to remember the following properties of logarithms:

1)\ ln(p)^m=m*ln(p)\\\\2)\ ln(e)=1

In this case you have the following inequality:

e^x>14

So you need to solve for the variable "x".

The steps to do it are below:

1. You need to apply ln to both sides of the inequality:

ln(e)^x>ln(14)

2. Now you must apply the properties shown before:

(x)ln(e)>ln(14)\\\\(x)(1)>2.63906\\\\x>2.63906

3. Then, rounding to the nearest ten-thousandth, you get:

x>2.6391

What is the number nearest to 10000 which is exactly divisible by 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8?.
Tems11 [23]

10080 is the number nearest to 10000 that is divisible by 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.

Divisibility is being able to divide a number evenly and result to a whole number. Divisibility rules are set of rules to test if one number is divisible by another without doing much computation.

#1: divisibility by 2

A number is divisible by 2 if its last digit is even.

# 2: divisibility by 3:

A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.

# 3: divisibility by 4

A number is divisible by 4 if the number represented by its last two digits is divisible by 4.

#4: divisibility by 5

A number is divisible by 5 if its last digit is 0 or 5.

# 5: divisibility by 6

A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3.

# 6: divisibility by 7

Double the last digit and subtract it from a number made by the other digits. The result must be divisible by 7.

#7: divisibility by 8

A number is divisible by 8 if the number represented by its last three digits is divisible by 8.

#8: divisibility by 9

A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.

# 9: divisibility by 10

A number is divisible by 10 if its last digit or the digit in the ones place is 0.

To get the number nearest to 10000 that is divisible by 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, consider first the numbers that are divisible by 5(numbers ending in 5 or 0) and narrow it down to numbers ending in 0 since numbers ending in 5 is not divisible by 2, thus making it indivisible by 6.

The process goes on by narrowing the list by checking its divisibility by 3, 4, 7 and 8.

Mamont248 [21]
80% of 25
percent means parts out of 100
'of' means multiply
80% of 25 means
80/100 times 25=40/50 times 25=20/25 times 25=20

answer is 20 problems
