175 divided by 5 is your unit rate or how many cans it crushes in 1 minute. You get 35. Multiple 35 by 16. So 560 cans crushed in 16 minutes

You can set it up like this:

5/175 = 16/x

Cross multiply to get:

5x = 2800

Isolate x:

x = 560

Check:

In 16 minutes, the machine should be able to crush a little more than 3 times the amount it could crush in 5 minutes. So, 3 times 175 is 525. That plus a bit more is 560, so the answer makes sense. 

Final answer:

The recycle machine should be able to crush <em>560</em> pounds of cans in 16 minutes. 


Hope this helped!! xx

The line above goes through points (-4,0) and (0,1). what is the equation of the line?​
mariarad [96]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{4} x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 1)

m = \frac{1-0}{0+4} = \frac{1}{4}

Note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 1) ⇒ c = 1

y = \frac{1}{4} x + 1 ← equation of line

At which root does the graph of f(x) = (x – 5)3(x + 2)2 touch the x axis?
LuckyWell [14K]
We have that
f(x) = (x – 5)³(x + 2)²

we know that
<span>the roots can touch or cross the x axis

</span>The way you can tell if the graph is going to cross the x-axis or just touch the x-axis is by looking at the power of the factor.

(x - 5)³ has a power of 3 which is an ODD number. An ODD power means that the graph will cross through the x-axis.

(x + 2)² has a power of 2 which is an EVEN number. An EVEN power means that the graph will touch the x-axis.

therefore

the answer is
<span>the graph of f(x) touch the x axis for the root x=-2
</span>
see the attached figure
