the first thing to note is since one gallon= 60 miles then 1/2 gallon= 30 miles, now I know 1/2 is not an answer but it is easiest to decrease in moderate amounts. 1/2 gallon= 48 Km so we are close, and 1/2=0.5 so if we brought it down to 0.42 we would have 25.2 miles and 25.2 miles = 40.32. The question wants to know the approximate number and 40.32 is the closest we are going to get so the answer is 0.42

question 3

Answer:

80 + 65x ≤ 425

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we know that the 425 must be greater than or equal to the other side, so the symbol to show that would be ≤. We also know that the forklift is a fixed price by the words 'each day'. And the to hire a single crew member would be $65 unless there are more crew workers, which would be multiplied with the 65.

question 4

Part A

Yes y is a function of x. Specifically the equation is y = x^5

For any given input, there is exactly one output

Notice how if x = 1 then y = x^5 = (1)^5 = 1

Notice how if x = -1 then y = x^5 = (-1)^5 = -1

Notice how if x = -2 then y = x^5 = (-2)^5 = -32

Notice how if x = 2 then y = x^5 = (2)^5 = 32

In general,

x^5 = x*x*x*x*x

there are five copies of x multiplied

A more specific example

3^5 = 3*3*3*3*3

there are five copies of '3' multiplied

=====================================================

Part B

All we do is replace x with 4 and use PEMDAS to simplify

f(x) = 2x+12

f(4) = 2(4)+12

f(4) = 8+12

f(4) = 20

The value of f(4) is 20

What does it mean? It is the total cost of renting the bowling lane for 4 hours. If you rent it for four hours, then you'll pay a total of $20.

The portion 2x = 2*4 = 8 is the variable cost which depends on how long you play. The more hours, the more the variable cost goes up

The fixed cost is 12. This is always fixed as this is the price to get in the door. If you play for 0 hours, but somehow got in the door, then you still pay $12

In total, variableCost+fixedCost = 8+12 = 20 = totalCost

What is 125^2/3 in simplest form? and What is \sqrt[5]({-245} ) ^{5} in simplest form?

Natasha_Volkova [10]

${ 125 }^{ \frac { 2 }{ 3 } }\\ \\ ={ \left( { 125 }^{ \frac { 1 }{ 3 } } \right) }^{ 2 }\\ \\ ={ \left( \sqrt [ 3 ]{ 125 } \right) }^{ 2 }\\ \\ ={ 5 }^{ 2 }\\ \\ =25$

This is because:

${ a }^{ \frac { m }{ n } }\\ \\ =\sqrt [ n ]{ { a }^{ m } }$

Remember that:

5 x 5 x 5 = 125

Help with this please

Alik [6]

Answer:

Yes, the given parallelogram is a rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertices of parallelogram are J(-5,0), K(1,4), L(3,1) and M(-3,-3).

The slope formula is

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$JK=\frac{4-0}{1-(-5)}=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$

$KL=\frac{1-4}{3-1}=\frac{-3}{2}$

$LM=\frac{-3-1}{-3-3}=\frac{-4}{-6}=\frac{2}{3}$

$JM=\frac{-3-0}{-3-(-5)}=\frac{-3}{2}$

The slopes of opposites sides are same it means they are parallel to each other.

The product of slopes of two consecutive sides is

$\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{-3}{2}=-1$

Since the product of slopes of two consecutive sides is -1, therefore the consecutive sides are perpendicular to each other.

Yes, the given parallelogram is a rectangle.

Write a problem that could be modeled with y=200(0.9).

Lunna [17]

First, I need to decide what equation this is like.

I believe this is y=mx.

We know that x is typically the input, and m is the constant function.

Y is the output.

So the original function may have been y=200x.

The only difference is now we've been given something to apply to the equation, in place of x.

2. Imagine a cloning machine. Whatever you put in, you get a copy of, and the original thing you put in. Its function would be y=2x. Let's pretend we decided to put three things in; 3 would go where x is.

Y would be the result of 3 copies and their originals, or 2(3).

(6=2(3))

Now, when someone else decides to use the cloning machine, they may put any number in, but the only properties that will change are y and x, not m.

The function will remain y = 2x. Any number could go in place of x, and multiplying x by 2 will give you the y. As long as you have a different value for x, the y will never be the same.

3. So now we have an understanding of what it means, we see that we have been given an x value to insert; an input.

A more practical example could be someting with money. This won't be entirely realistic, because we are dealing with a fraction of a number and another large number.

4. I decided to go with flour. I wanted the 200 to represent pennies, or cents. Before I landed on this, I looked up the cost of flour per pound. I found that the average is .43 dollars, which isn't terribly close to two dollars. But maybe the flour is high quality, so we can stick with that.

5. Seeing that this equation, y=200x, means we are charging 200 cents, or two dollars, we can write a problem from here.

Sylvia is in charge of selling home-harvested flour from an organic farm. She charges two dollars per pound of flower. Today, her next-door neighbors hope to buy a ninth of pound of flour, and they insist on paying with pennies. How many pennies do they need to pay for their order?

Let me know if this helped, or if you have any questions!
