A teacher plans to buy air fresheners that cost $3.50 each. If the teacher can spend no more than $10 on the air fresheners and

has a $3 discount coupon, which inequality represents the number of air fresheners, x, the teacher can buy?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to create an equation to represent how many air fresheners the teacher can buy.

Teacher has $10 and a $3 discount coupon which would give her an extra $3 to spend. Each air freshener is $3.50.

x = number of air fresheners

($10 + $3) / $3.50 = x can be written as $13/$3.50 = x

We add $10 and $3 because that gives us the total amount she has to spend.

We divide by $3.50 because that is the cost of each air freshener. The result is the number of air fresheners she can buy.

In this case.

$13/$3.50 = x

3.71 = x BUT we can't buy part of an air freshener, so she can purchase 3 air fresheners.

Which is the graph of g(x) = ⌈x + 3⌉?

77julia77 [94]

ANSWER

$\boxed {D}$

EXPLANATION

The given function is,

$g(x) = ⌈x + 3⌉$

The parent function of this ceiling function is

$g(x) = ⌈x ⌉$

When this function is shifted horizontally 3 units to the left, we obtain the transformed function,

$g(x) = ⌈x + 3⌉$

The correct answer is option D.

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Part 1) $A=36(\pi-2)\ cm^2$

Part 2) $P=6(\pi+2\sqrt{2})\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the area

we know that

The area of the shape is equal to the area of a quarter of circle minus the area of an isosceles right triangle

so

$A=\frac{1}{4}\pi r^{2}-\frac{1}{2}(b)(h)$

we have that the base and the height of triangle is equal to the radius of the circle

$r=12\ cm\\b=12\ cm\\h=12\ cm$

substitute

$A=\frac{1}{4}\pi (12)^{2}-\frac{1}{2}(12)(12)$

$A=(36\pi-72)\ cm^2$

simplify

Factor 36

$A=36(\pi-2)\ cm^2$

Part 2) Find the perimeter

The perimeter of the figure is equal to the circumference of a quarter of circle plus the hypotenuse of the right triangle

<em>The circumference of a quarter of circle is equal to</em>

$C=\frac{1}{4}(2\pi r)=\frac{1}{2}\pi r$

substitute the given values

$C=\frac{1}{2}\pi (12)$

$C=6\pi\ cm$

The hypotenuse of right triangle is equal to (applying the Pythagorean Theorem)

$AC=\sqrt{12^2+12^2}$

$AC=\sqrt{288}\ cm$

simplify

$AC=12\sqrt{2}\ cm$

Find the perimeter

$P=(6\pi+12\sqrt{2})\ cm$

simplify

Factor 6

$P=6(\pi+2\sqrt{2})\ cm$

An arithmetic sequence has this recursive formula: (a^1 =8, a^n= a^n-1 -6

eduard

Answer:

$a_n = 8 + (n - 1) (-6)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a_1 = 8$

Recursive: $a_{n} = a_{n-1} - 6$

Required

Determine the formula

Substitute 2 for n to determine $a_2$

$a_{2} = a_{2-1} - 6$

$a_{2} = a_{1} - 6$

Substitute $a_1 = 8$

$a_2 = 8 - 6$

$a_2 = 2$

Next is to determine the common difference, d;

$d = a_2 - a_1$

$d = 2 - 8$

$d = -6$

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is calculated as

$a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d$

Substitute $a_1 = 8$ and $d = -6$

$a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d$

$a_n = 8 + (n - 1) (-6)$

Hence, the nth term of the sequence can be calculated using $a_n = 8 + (n - 1) (-6)$
