Fiona is gathering signatures on a petition to save the Orangutans. If she gets 4 times the number of signatures that she has ri

ght now, she will have at least enough to get a special mention on the Save the Orangutans website, an amazing 8000 signatures. How many signatures has Fiona collected so far? Let "n" be the number of signatures she has now.

Answer: 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up equation

The total signatures she needs is 4 times as many as she has. From this we can create the equation (4n = total signatures)

We know that the total number of signatures is 8000, so plug this into the equation to get 4n = 8000

Solve for n

Now that we have an equation, we can solve for n by dividing both sides by 4

4n = 8000

n = 8000 / 4 = 2000

Final Answer

Fiona has collected 2000 signatures so far

Y=1/2x-1
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

<h2>Y=1/2x-1</h2>

Find where the expression

1/2x−1 is undefined.

x=1/2

Consider the rational function

R(x)=ax^n/bx^m where n is the degree of the numerator and m is the degree of the denominator.

1. If n<m, then the x-axis, y=0, is the horizontal asymptote.

2. If n=m, then the horizontal asymptote is the line y = ab.

3. If n>m, then there is no horizontal asymptote (there is an oblique asymptote).

Find n and m.n=0m=1

Since n<m, the x-axis, y=0, is the horizontal asymptote.y=0

There is no oblique asymptote because the degree of the numerator is less than or equal to the degree of the denominator.

No Oblique Asymptotes

This is the set of all asymptotes.

Vertical Asymptotes:

x=1/2

Horizontal Asymptotes:

y=0

No Oblique Asymptotes

<h2>2x+y=4</h2>

Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation.

y=4−2x

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is

y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

y=mx+b

Reorder 4 and −2x.

y=−2x+4

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.

Find the values of m and b using the form

y=mx+b.

m= - 2b=4

The slope of the line is the value of m, and the y-intercept is the value of b.

Slope: −2

y-intercept: (0,4)

Any line can be graphed using two points. Select two x values, and plug them into the equation to find the corresponding y

values.

Find the x-intercept.

x-intercept(s):

(2,0)

Find the y-intercept.

y-intercept(s):

(0,4)

Create a table of the x and y values.

0 4

2 0

Graph the line using the slope and the y-intercept, or the points.

Slope: −2

y-intercept:

A yardstick casts a shadow of 24 in. At the same time a telephone pole casts a shadow of 20 ft 8 in. What is the height of the t
finlep [7]

Answer:

372 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

(1 yd = 36 in., and 1 ft = 12 in.)

1 yard stick = 24 in

This means , height of 36 inches casts a shadow of 24 Inches

At the same time a telephone pole casts a shadow of 20 ft 8 in

1 ft = 12 in

Hence,

Convey 20ft to inches

1 ft = 12 in

20 ft = 20 × 12 inches

= 240 inches

Total shadow of the telephone pole = 240in + 8 in = 248 = 248 inches

Hence,

Height/Length of shadow = Height/Length of shadow

36/24= x /248

Cross Multiply

24 × x = 36× 248

x = 36 × 248/24

x = 372 inches

The height of the telephone pole, to the nearest inch is 372 inches
