Some scientists say, happiness, when measured on a scale of 0 (super unhappy) to 100 (super happy), is a function of the number

of hours you spend on instagram per day. They say when 0 hours spent, the average happiness level is 60, and each hour spent thereafter diminishes their happiness by 2. Express this statement in terms of a mathematical function

Answer:

f(x) = 60-2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that f(x) = y is a happiness function. It is a function of the number of hours you spend on Instagram per day. That means that the output of the function will be a "happiness score",i.e. the value between 0 and 100, and the variable <em>x </em>will be an output value, the hours spent on Instagram daily.

We know that if we spend 0 hours on Instagram per day the happiness score will be 60, which means that:

f(0) = 60

If we spend 1 hour per day on Instagram our level of happiness will be decreased by 2, i.e. 60-2 = 58. Therefore,

f(1) = 58

If we spend 2 hours on Instagram per day our level of happiness will be decreased even more, i.e. 58-2 = 56. Therefore,

f(2) = 56

Notice that 56 = 60-4 = 60-2*2

If we spend 3 hours on Instagram per day our level of happiness will be decreased even more, i.e. 56-2 = 54. Therefore,

f(3) = 54

Notice that 54 = 60-6 = 60-3*2

Now we can see the pattern from which the level of happiness can be calculated. It is 60 decreased by the number of hours multiplied by 2.

Hence, the "happiness function" is:

f(x) = 60-x*2 = 60-2x, where x is a number of hours spent on Instagram.

Help please. solve for x and y.
ohaa [14]
To solve for x and y, you need to know if the triangles are congruent. They are because of their congruent sides and exterior angles are the same measure.
Now you know that the triangles are congruent, you can set up a proportion for the side lengths you are looking for.
For x...

22/10=x/12. Then cross mutiply. x =26.4
You can do this because the triangles are congruent.
For y...

22/10 =37.4/y. Then you cross multiply. y=17

The correct answer is B.

Zip codes for the Houston area are five digit numbers with 7 as the first 2 digits of each zip code. The third digit can be 0, 3
djyliett [7]

Answer:

There are 400 possible zip codes in the Houston area

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the possible number of zip codes in the Houston area

We have 5 digits to form

77 is the first two digits ( this is fixed)

For the third digit, we are selecting 1 number out of 0,3,4 or 5

This means 4 C 1

The remaining digits can be any digits

We have 0-9, a total of 10 digits

The first will be 10 C 1 and the second last digit too is 10 C 1

So the number of possible zip codes will be;

4 C 1 * 10 C 1 * 10 C 1

= 4 * 10 * 10 = 400 possible zip codes
