UPS charges $6.00 for the first pound, $1.00 for the second pound, and $0.15 for each additional pound. FedEx charges $4.00 for

the first pound, $2.00 for second pound, and $0.25 for each additional pound. How many pounds, p, will it take for UPS and FedEx to cost the same? Complete the equation that represents this situation.

Answer:

12 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We we need to write equations to represent the situation in this problem.

x=weight of package

UPS cost=6+1+0.15(x-2)

UPS cost=6+1+0.15x-0.3

UPS cost=6.7+0.15x

FedEx cost=4+2+.25(x-2)

FedEx cost=4+2+0.25x-0.5

FedEx cost=5.5+0.25x

Next, we can set the two equations equal to each other to solve for x.

6.7+0.15x=5.5+0.25x

6.7+0.15x-5.5=5.5+0.25x-5.5

1.2+0.15x-0.15x=0.25x-0.15x

1.2/0.1=0.1x/0.1

x=12

It takes 12 pounds for the UPS and FedEx packages to cost the same amount to ship.

Find the domain and range of the following graph.
RideAnS [48]

Domain:

From left-to-right, the graph starts at x = -4 and goes on forever to the right.

The domain is x ≥ -4.

Range:

From bottom-to-top, the graph gets as low as y = 1 and goes up forever.

The range is y ≥ 1.

Kruka [31]

Answer:

The phenotypic ratio of the offspring will be 100% of purple flowers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mendel's first law states that if two pure lines are crossed for a given character, the descendants of the first generation will all be equal to each other, phenotypically and genotypically, and phenotypically equal to one of the parents (of dominant genotype).

The Punnett square is a square diagram that is used to predict the genotypes of a particular cross or breeding experiment.

We represent the possibilities of hybridization using a Punnett square in the attached picture.

Uppercase letters represent dominant alleles and lowercase letters represent recessive alleles.

Homozygous individuals have the same pair of alleles. (AA, aa)

We can verify that all offspring have a dominant allele, therefore all offspring will have purple flowers.
