A laboratory study investigating the relationship between diet and weight in adult humans found that the weight of a subject, W,

in pounds, was a function, W = f(c), of the average number of Calories per day, c, consumed by the subject. In terms of diet and weight, interpret the statement f(1850) = 158.
a. For this person, decreasing calorie intake by 1850 Calories per day will make his/her weight decrease to 158 pounds.
b. For this person, increasing calorie intake by 1850 Calories per day will make his/her weight decrease to 158 pounds.
c. For this person, consuming 1850 Calories per day results in a weight of 158 pounds.
d. For this person, decreasing calorie intake by 1850 Calories per day will make his/her weight increase to 158 pounds.
e. For this person, increasing calorie intake by 1850 Calories per day will make his/her weight increase to 158 pounds

Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given condition, W(weight) is a function of C(calories), that is, the value of W is highly dependent on the value of C. In this case, C, is the independent variable and W is the dependent variable. Option C is more correct than other options because the question did not state if increasing C or decreasing C means we havw an increasing W or decreasing W, it only stated that W is. function of C.

Hence when an average of 1850 of calories is consumed, the resulting weight is 158pounds.

What is the slope of a line that passes through (0,5) and (-3,-4)
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

slope = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, - 4)

m = \frac{-4-5}{-3-0} = \frac{-9}{-3} = 3

Which equals the product of (x – 3)(2x + 1)
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

2 {x}^{2}  - 5x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

( x - 3)(2x + 1) \\  = x(2x + 1) - 3(2x + 1) \\  = 2 {x}^{2}  + x - 6x - 3 \\ =  2 {x}^{2}  - 5x - 3

Help!!! I need to find the x and y values
gayaneshka [121]

The solution is that x = 26 and y = 9.

In order to find these, we need to note that since the two angles involving x's make a straight line, then they must equal 180 degrees. So we can add them together and set them equal to solve for x.

5x - 17 + 3x - 11 = 180 ----> combine like terms

8x - 28 = 180 ----> add 28 to both sides

8x = 208 -----> divide by 8

x = 26

Now that we have the value of x, we can find the value of the 3x - 11 term. That along with the right angle and the 2y + 5 angle combine to make another straight line. So we can solve by setting that equal to 180 as well.

3x - 11 + 90 + 2y + 5 = 180 ------> Combine like terms

3x + 2y + 84 = 180 -----> Put 26 in for x.

3(26) + 2y + 84 = 180 -----> Multiply

78 + 2y + 84 = 180 ------> Combine like terms again

2y + 162 = 180 ------> Subtract 162 from both sides

2y = 18 -----> Divide by 2

y = 9

Which expression below gives the average rate of change of the function g(x) = -x2 - 4x on the interval 6 ≤ x ≤ 8 ?
Paha777 [63]

Answer: -18

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average rate of change is slope: \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}.  Need to find the y-coordinates:

g(x) = -x² - 4x

g(6) = -(6)² - 4(6)

      = -36 - 24

      = -60

⇒ (6, -60)

g(8) = -(8)² - 4(8)

      = -64 - 32

      = -96

⇒ (8, -96)

m = \frac{-96 - (-60)}{8 - 6}

   = \frac{-36}{2}

   = -18
