Answer:
The answer to this question would be B:
Based on the question, since the weight of the weight plates are 20 lbs, this would be represented by the 20x in the function. As well, the 5 lb barbell would be represented by the 5 in the function. The range of the function is determined by the amount of weight plates are added. So if I added one weight plate the equation would equal, f(x) = 20(1) + 5 = 25. This continues on the more and more weight plates you add.
Hope this reached you well :)
Step-by-step explanation:
20 = weight of the weight plates
x = amount of weight plates.
5 = weight of the barbell
f(x) = 20(0) + 5 = 5
f(x) = 20(1) + 5 = 25
f(x) = 20(2) + 5 = 45
f(x) = 20(3) + 5 = 65
f(x) = 20(4) + 5 = 85
Here's a graph with 4 points shown.
Since this is a right triangle, you can use the main trig functions sin, cos, and tan. We must use sin for this problem because sin= opp/hyp. Plug in the numbers to this function. Sin (53) = a/25. Thus when you cross multiply, you get a= sin (53) x 25. When you plug it into a calculator the answer should come out to 19.97
