Given :

A patient with high blood pressure who weighs 226 pounds is put on a diet to lose 26 pounds in 3 months. The patient loses 8 3/4 pounds the first month and 11 5/8 pounds the second month.

To Find :

How much weight must be lost the third month for the goal to be achieved.

Solution :

Let, weight lose in third month is x.

So, 8 3/4 + 11 5/8 + x = 26

\dfrac{32+3}{4}+\dfrac{88+5}{8}+x=26\\\\x = 26 - ( \dfrac{35}{4}+\dfrac{93}{8})\\\\x=5.625\ pounds

Therefore, weight lose in third month is 5.625 pounds.

Hence, this is the required solution.

What's 4.88 rounded to the nearest tenth......
Ugo [173]
The first decimal point is tenth. 4.88
when rounding, we just look at the number right after the number you want to round to. it's 8 right? since 8 is closer to 10 than 0,
we round it to 4.9

Answer A, B, C, Please, and Thanks!
DochEvi [55]

A) The variable on the horizontal axis of the graph (the independent variable) is "pounds of rice". That is what the first number in the ordered pair (6, 18) represents.

The variable on the vertical axis of the graph (the dependent variable) is "total cost in dollars". That is what the second number in the ordered pair represents.

(6, 18) represents that the total cost of purchasing 6 lbs of rice is $18.

B) The unit price is found at the point where the independent variable has the value 1. That would be at the point (1, 3), which indicates the unit price is $3 per pound.

C) You would have to buy 4 lbs of rice for the total cost to be $12. There are at least two ways to find the answer.

  1. Draw a horizontal line on the graph at cost = $12. It intersects the graph at lbs = 4.
  2. Divide the total cost by the unit price. $12/($3/lb) = 4 lb.

The function below is written in vertex form or intercept form. Rewrite them in standard form and show your work.
lora16 [44]

Answer:

The standard form as y=5x^2+30x+41

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A function which is written in vertex form or intercept form.

We have to re-write it  in standard form that in terms of

Given y = 5(x+3)^2-4

Squaring  using (a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab , we get,  

y=5(x^2+9+6x)-4

Multiply 5 inside , we get,

y=5x^2+45+30x-4

Solving further , we get,

y=5x^2+30x+41

Thus , we have obtained the standard form as y=5x^2+30x+41
