Answer:

Let's think.

If we want the man to be in the best case scenario in which he loses the most pounds that his limit lets him, we should always make the man lose the highest he could go: 6 pounds.

This is just a simple multi step problem if you break it down.

If his goal is to get to 243 pounds, we firstly subtract 243 from 340 to see how much he needs to lose.

340 - 243 = 97

The man wants to lose 97 pounds.

Let's divide this number by 6 with remainder.

I'll let you think for a bit.

97 / 6 = 16 remainder 1.

This means that in 16 weeks, he needs to lose 6 pounds while on the 17th week, he needs to lose 1 pound.

I'm sorry if i misunderstood.

Good luck Mate :)

The value of x should be greater than or equal to -2. The number line from -2 to the entire right till ∞ of the number line will satisfy this condition.

<h3>What is a number line?</h3>

A number line is just that – a straight, horizontal line with numbers placed at even increments along the length. It’s not a ruler, so the space between each number doesn’t matter, but the numbers included on the line determine how it’s meant to be used.

The value of x that will satisfy this condition can be found by simplifying the given inequality. Therefore, The given inequality can be simplified as,

4x + 1 - 1 ≥ -8

4x ≥ -8

x ≥ -2

Hence, the value of x should be greater than or equal to -2. The number line from -2 to the entire right till ∞ of the number line will satisfy this condition.

The formula for volume is Length x width x height.

Bottom: 18 * 12 * 8 = 1728 cubic centimeters.

Middle: 12 * 8 * 6 = 576 cubic centimeters.

Top = 4 *4*4 = 64 cubic centimeters.

Total: 1728 + 576 + 64 = 2368 cubic centimeters.

Consider the function given by the graph. What are these values?
Natalija [7]
As you see in the picture, there are two lines that could maybe represent two linear functions. However, this is not true because of the solid point and the hollow point. This is an inequality equation that has points of discontinuity.

Points of discontinuity are breaks in the graph that are a result of an undefined point when the f(x) is substituted with a point of x that is not part of the solution. So, technically, the graph is made from one rational expression.

So, when it says f(-2), this is the y-value at x=-2. That means f(-2)=2, f(0)=3 and f(4)=-1. Specifically, there are two points at x=0, but we take the solid point only.
