Answer:

The wise man is 64 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

"400 reduced by 3 times my age is 208"

we don't know the man's age, so we can substitute it for x. This means 400-3x=208. Using this equation, we can now solve for x to find the man's age.

400-3x=208

400-208=3x

192=3x

64=x

Checking answer:

400-3•64=

400-192=208

What is the pattern in the values as the exponents increase?
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the pattern in the values as the exponents increase.

First value is 1/3

if we multiply 3 with 1/3 i.e. 1/3*3 we get 1

The next value is 1 in the table.

Now, if we multiply 1 with 3 i.e. 1*3 we get 3

The next value is 3 in the table.

Now, if we multiply 3 with 3 i.e 3*3 we get 9

So, the next value is 9 in the table.

So, if we multiply 3 with the previous value we get the next value in the table.

Hence Option D multiply the previous value by 3 is correct.

Hurry! A FedEx freight truck carries three tons of packages 660 miles on 90 gallons of diesel fuel from Miami, Fl to Atlanta, Ga
artcher [175]

(a) Truck carries 90 gallons of diesel fuel to 660 miles.

So, 1 gallon of diesel fuel to 660/90 = 22/3 miles.

30 gallons of diesel fuel to 30()\frac{22}{3} = 220 miles.

Hence, if x-axis represents the number of miles and y-axis represents the number of gallons, then, (660, 90) and (220, 30) are points on the graph.

Join (660, 90) and (220, 30), we get the graph of a line.

Note that (0, 0) is also a point on the line.

Equation of the line is y=\frac{22}{3} x.

(b) x represents the number of miles. Therefore, the possible values for x is the closed interval [0, 660].

Hence, the domain of the function is [0, 660].

(c) Origin represents that the truck is not moving and there is no diesel fuel loaded in the truck.

Which graph represents the function f(x)=0.25x+5
ozzi

Answer:

Its the graph at the top left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the graph of f(x) = 0.25^x:

when x = 0 , f(x) = 1 so it will pass through the point (0,1). Also as x  increases f(x) will decrease because  the base 0.25 is < 1.  So  the graph will decrease to the right.

The + 5 in the function moves the whole graph up 5 units so the graph will pass through the point (0,  6).
