Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of marked fish to caught fish is 4:10, we need to solve for x in 20:x, since 4 * 5 = 20, 10 * 5 = x so x = 50 fish.

Given two functions f(x)=2x+4 and g(x)=−1/5x−3 , what is the function rule for (f+g)(x) ?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

The definition is pretty simple:

(f+g)(x) = f(x)+g(x)

So, we only have to sum the expressions:

f(x)+g(x) = 2x+4 - \dfrac{1}{5}x-3 = \dfrac{9}{5}x+1

Which statement is true about the extreme value of the given quadratic equation?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Option B.  The equation has a maximum value with a y-coordinate of -21.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct quadratic equation is

y=-3x^{2}+12x-33

This is a vertical parabola open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)

The vertex represent a maximum

Convert to vertex form

Factor -3

y=-3(x^{2}-4x)-33

Complete the square

y=-3(x^{2}-4x+2^2)-33+12

y=-3(x^{2}-4x+4)-21

Rewrite as perfect squares

y=-3(x-2)^{2}-21

The vertex is the point (2,-21)

therefore

The equation has a maximum value with a y-coordinate of -21
