a store owner has 7.11 lbs. of candy. if she puts the candy into 9 jars , how much candy will each jar contain?

1 answer:

3 0

7.11 / 9 = 0.79

This is assuming that they equally split the candy among the jars.

The answer is 0.79 lbs of candy per jar.

Hope this helps! :)

When they are both racing on hoverboards, Victoria is 3 times as fast as her brother Max. When she is on foot, she is 3 times sl

NARA [144]

Answer:

Race completed in 48 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of Max on hoverboard is = x

Then as per question speed of Victoria on hoverboard = 3x

Now it has been given in the question that speed of Victoria on foot is 1/3 of the speed of Max on hoverboard that will be = x/3

Now we will form the equation.

As we know the formula speed = distance/time

Let the time taken by both to complete the race be t minutes.

Distance covered by Victoria in 12 minutes + Distance covered by Victoria on foot = distance covered by Max on hoverboard

Then the equation will be

12(3x)+(1/3)x(t-12)=xt

$36x+\frac{xt}{3}-4x=xt$

$x(36+\frac{t}{3}-4)=xt$

$36+\frac{t}{3}-4=t$

$32=t-\frac{t}{3}$

$\frac{2t}{3}=32$

$t=\frac{(32)3}{2}=48$

So 48 minutes it took to complete the race.

If f(x) =4x2 - 8x - 20 and g(x) = 2x + a, find the value of a so that the y-intercept of the graph of the composite function (fo

amm1812

Answer:

The possible values are a = -2.5 or a = 4.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Composite function:

The composite function of f(x) and g(x) is given by:

$(f \circ g)(x) = f(g(x))$

In this case:

$f(x) = 4x^2 - 8x - 20$

$g(x) = 2x + a$

$(f \circ g)(x) = f(g(x)) = f(2x + a) = 4(2x + a)^2 - 8(2x + a) - 20 = 4(4x^2 + 4ax + a^2) - 16x - 8a - 20 = 16x^2 + 16ax + 4a^2 - 16x - 8a - 20 = 16x^2 +(16a-16)x + 4a^2 - 8a - 20$

Value of a so that the y-intercept of the graph of the composite function (fog)(x) is (0, 25).

This means that when $x = 0, f(g(x)) = 25$ . So

$4a^2 - 8a - 20 = 25$

$4a^2 - 8a - 45 = 0$

Solving a quadratic equation, by Bhaskara:

$\Delta = (-8)^2 - 4(4)(-45) = 784$

$x_{1} = \frac{-(-8) + \sqrt{784}}{2*(4)} = \frac{36}{8} = 4.5$

$x_{2} = \frac{-(-8) - \sqrt{784}}{2*(4)} = -\frac{20}{8} = -2.5$

The possible values are a = -2.5 or a = 4.5.

Multiplying both sides of an equation by the same number keeps the equation true. In this example, both sides are multiplied by 3, so the equation isn't changed.
