Answer: 13 cats were at the shelter on Thursday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cats that were at the shelter on Thursday.

Let y represent the number of dogs that were at the shelter on Thursday.

Camden found a record showing that there were a total of 30 cats and dogs on Thursday. This means that

x + y = 30

The animal shelter spends $2.50 per day to care for each cat and $4.00 per day to care for each dog. Camden noticed that the shelter spent $100.50 caring for cats and dogs on Thursday. This means that

2.5x + 4y = 100.5 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 30 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2.5(30 - y) + 4y = 100.5

75 - 2.5y + 4y = 100.5

- 2.5y + 4y = 100.5 - 75

1.5y = 25.5

y = 25.5/1.5

y = 17

x = 30 - y = 30 - 17

x = 13

I got a tricky one
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

D. f(-3) = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

When f(x) is divided by x+3, you get a quotient g(x) and a remainder of 11:

f(x) / (x + 3) = g(x) + 11 / (x + 3)

Multiply both sides by x+3:

f(x) = g(x) (x + 3) + 11

Substitute -3 for x:

f(-3) = g(-3) (-3 + 3) + 11

f(-3) = g(-3) (0) + 11

f(-3) = 11

We have been given a graph of function g(x) which is a transformation of the function f(x)=3^x

Now we have to find the equation of g(x)

Usually transformation involves shifting or stretching so we can use the graph to identify the transformation.


First you should check the graph of f(x)=3^x

You will notice that it is always above x-axis (equation is x=0). Because x-axis acts as horizontal asymptote.

Now the given graph has asymptote at x=-2

which is just 2 unit down from the original asymptote x=0

so that means we need shift f(x), 2 unit down hence we get:

y=3^x


but that will disturb the y-intercept (0,1)

if we multiply 3^x by 3 again then the y-intercept will remain (0,1)

Hence final equation for g(x) will be:

g(x)=3(3^x)-2
