Answer:

A: The x-intercept of k(x) is half the x-intercept of h(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer choices B, C, and D are concerned with slopes and y-intercepts. The coefficients of x in the functions are different and are related by a factor of -2, so the lines are not parallel, and one slope is not twice the other. The y-intercepts (constants) in each function are different, so they graphs do not cross the y-axis at the same place.

Hence answer choices B, C, and D can be eliminated.

The x-intercepts are found by setting y=0 and solving for x:

h(x) = 0 = -2x +4 ⇒ x = 4/2 = 2

k(x) = 0 = 4x -4 ⇒ x = 4/4 = 1

The x-intercept of k(x) is half that of h(x). . . . . . . matches choice A

Alexis is making cookies. The recipe says that she has to mix 192 grams of sugar into the flour. Alexis knows that 1 cup of this

Dmitrij [34]

For this case we can make the following rule of three:
1 cup ----------------> 128 grams
x ----------------------> 192 grams
From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:
x = (192/128) * (1)
x = 1.5
x = 1 1/2
Answer:
She needs about 1 1/2 cups.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Speed of boat in still water is 6km/h

Speed of current is 4km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

We know speed = distance / time

Let the speed of boat in still water be x

Let the speed of current be y

Hence the speed of boat, down stream = $x+y$
