Change in level is given by :

C = increase in level - decrease in level.

Now,

Decrease in level in March is 2 1/4 = 9/4 inches.

Increase in level in April is 1 5/8 = 13/8 inches.

Putting value of these in above equation, we get :

C = 13/8 - 9/4

C = 13/8 - 18/8

C = -5/8 inches

Therefore, the overall level after April will decrease by 5/8 inches.

Hence, option 4. is correct.

Describe the transformation f(x) = 2x + 1 -> g(x) = -8(x + 4) - 1
katrin2010 [14]

f(x) = 2x + 1; Paren graph = x;

The graph was shifted one unit up and stretched 2 times.

g(x) = -8(x+4) - 1 = -8x - 32 - 1 = -8x - 33

The graph was shifted 33 units down and stretched 8 times and flipped 180 degrees.

By what number should-15/56 be divided to get -5/6<br><br>pls pls pls pls I need your help ​
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The desired divisor is n = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let that number be n.  Then:

-15/56        -5

---------- = ---------

     n            6

Through cross-multiplication we get:

(-15/56)*6 = -5n, which reduces to:

(-15)(7) = -5n, or 3(7) = n

The desired divisor is n = 21
