Answer: 127 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If you look back to the text you will see that 12 is 1 in 1:3:4 and you multiply that by 2. 12 * 2 = 24.

2. Divide 24 by 3 and that gives you 8 than times it by 5 for it to give you 40

3. Divide 36 by 4 and that equals to 9 than multiply it by 7 which that gives you 63

4. Add 24, 40, and 63 for it to give you 127

Thank you for following these steps if it is correct and this is my first time so if I am incorrect I will look upon my mistake and correct and help many of you people who need help

Which of the following describes the graph of y=\sqrt[3]{8x-64}-5 compared to the parent cube root function?
andriy [413]
Answer: stretched by a factor of 2 and translated 8 units right and 5 units down

Explanation:

These is the set of choices that accompany with this question:


<span>a) stretched by a factor of 2 and translated 64 units right and 5 units down
b) stretched by a factor of 8 and translated 8 units right and 5 units down
c) stretched by a factor of 2 and translated 8 units right and 5 units down
d) stretched by a factor of 8 and translated 64 units right and 5 units down


Solution:

</span>Let's work a little the given function to compare it with the parent function.

1) The given function is y = ∛[8x - 64] - 5

2) Extract common factor 8 of the expression inside the square brackets:

y = ∛[ 8( x - 8) ] - 5

3) Extract 8 from the root:

y = 2∛(x - 8) - 5

4) The parent function is ∛x. Call the parent function g(x) => g(x) = ∛x

5) Compare: y is 2 * g(x - 8) - 5

6) Analyze the meaning of that:

g(x - 8) means that the graph of the function is translated 8 units to the right

scaling by 2 means that the graph is stretch vertically (by a scale factor of 2)

- 5 means that the entire graph is shifted 5 units downward.

So, the description of the graph y = ∛(8x - 64) - 5 compared to the parent cube root function is: stretched by a factor of 2 and translated 8 units right and 5 units down

The sales tax on a $350 computer is $ 22.75. find the sales tax rate.
likoan [24]

Set up an equation to solve for the tax rate, x:

350(x) = 22.75\\x = \frac{22.75}{350}\\x = 0.065\\x = 6.5%


We can conclude that the tax rate on the computer was 6.5 percent.

A) Rearrange the equation to make w the subject. 2(1 + W) = P
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2(1 + W) = P\\Divide -both-sides-of-the-equation-by ; 2\\\frac{ 2(1 + W) }{2} = \frac{P}{2} \\1+ W = P/2\\W = \frac{P}{2} -1\\\\(b .)  2y = 10x + 6\\Re -write -in -slope-intercept-form : y= mx+b\\\frac{2y}{2} =\frac{10x}{2} +\frac{6}{2} \\y = 5x + 3\\Gradient = 5
