Answer:

Theresa is 58.82 in tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 

x----------> Paul and Steve heights

y----------> Theresa height


we know that

1 1/2-------> 3/2---> 1.5

1 1/3-------> 4/3----> 1.33

 Paul says he is 16 inches shorter than 1 1/2 times Theresa's height

x=1.5y-16-------> equation 1


Steve says he's 6 inches shorter than 1 1/3 times Theresa's height

x=1.33y-6------> equation 2


equals 1 and 2

1.5y-16=1.33y-6

1.5y-1.33y=-6+16

0.17y=10----------> y=58.82 in


x=1.5y-16------> 1.5*(58.82)-16------> x=72.24 in


the answer is

Theresa is 58.82 in tall

Which of the following is the best buy?
-BARSIC- [3]

The $1.25 one for 9 Oz box of rice would be the best buy.

<h3>How to find the Unit Price?</h3>

To get the best buy among the given items and prices, we need to find the unit price. Thus, the formula is;

Unit price = Price/Quantity

A) Unit Price = 0.90/6 = 0.15

B) Unit Price = 1.93/12 = 0.15083

C) Unit price = 2.42/16

Unit Price = 0.15125

D) Unit Price = 1.25/9 = 0.138

The $1.25 one for 9 Oz box of rice would be the best buy.

Determine the intervals on which the function is increasing, decreasing and constant
viva [34]

Answer:

  • increasing: (-∞, 0)
  • decreasing: (0, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

The function goes up to the right until it gets to the vertex at x=0. Then it goes down to the right. That is, it is ...

  increasing from -∞ to 0 (not including 0)

  decreasing from 0 to +∞ (not including 0)

_____

At x=0, the function is neither increasing nor decreasing, so x=0 is not part of either interval.
