The weekly ad for a local grocery store advertises a 5 pound bag of organic apples for $13.95

Water is added or drained from a tank each day. The first day, 910 of a gallon is added to the empty tank. The second day, 710 o

Answer:

The quantity of water in the tank after 15 days is 1610.0 gallons OR 1.61 × 10³ gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of water in the tank after 15 days is given by the series

910+(−710)+810+(−610)+⋯+310+(−110)+210

From the series, we can observe that, if water is added for a particular day then water will be drained the following day.

Also, for a day when water is to be added, the quantity to be added will be 100 gallon lesser than the quantity that was last added. Likewise, for a day when water is to be drained, the quantity to be drained will be 100 gallons lesser than the quantity that was last drained.

Hence, we can complete the series thus:

910+(−710)+810+(−610)+710(-510)+610(-410)+510(-310)+410(-210)+310+(−110)+210

To evaluate this, we get

910-710+810-610+710-510+610-410+510-310+410-210+310-110+210

= 1610.0 gallons

Hence, the quantity of water in the tank after 15 days is 1610 gallons OR 1.61 × 10³ gallons.

Half an hour after leaving her house Beverly was 20 miles from home. At this point she merged onto the highway and was traveling

N76 [4]

Answer:

1. 45.71 miles

2. 10 miles

3. 89.43 miles

4. 0.79 hr

5. 0.025 hr

Step-by-step explanation:

speed = distance/time

After 4 hrs Beverly was 200 miles from home , however she had spent 0.5hr travelling for 20 miles prior to getting to the highway.

Therefore;

Constant speed before Highway = 20/0.5 = 40 miles/hr

Constant speed at Highway = $\frac{(200-20)}{(4-0.5)}$ = 51.43 miles/hr

1. in 1 hr beverly will have travelled;

⇒ (20 miles in 0.5 hr ) + (0.5 hr at speed 51.43 miles/hr)

⇒ 20 + (0.5 x 51.43) = 45.71 miles

2. In 0.25 hr beverly had not reached the highway

⇒ distance = speed x time

⇒ distance = 40 x 0.25 = 10 miles

3. in 1.85 hrs beverly will have travvelld;

⇒ (20 miles in 0.5 hr ) + (1.35 hr at speed 51.43 miles/hr)

⇒ 20 + 69.43 = 89.43 miles

4. Time taken to get to 35 miles

⇒ (20 miles in 0.5 hr ) + (15 miles at speed 51.43 miles/hr)

⇒ 0.5hr + (15/51.43) hr = 0.79 hr

5. Time taken to travel 1 mile

⇒ time = distance / speed = 1 mile / 40 miles/hr

⇒ time = 0.025 hr

What is the vertex of the absolute value function defined by ƒ(x) = |x + 2| + 4?

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

C. (-2,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a function $f(x)=|x+2|+4$ and we are asked to find the vertex of our absolute value function.

The rules for the translation of a function are as follows:

$f|x-h|=\text{Graph shifted to right by h units}$

$f|x+h|=\text{ Graph shifted to left by h units}$

$f|x|+h=\text{ Graph shifted upward by h units}$

$f|x|-h=\text{ Graph shifted down by h units}$

Upon comparing our absolute function with above transformations we can see that our function is shifted to two units right of the origin(0,0) so x coordinate of our absolute function will be -2.

Our function is shifted upward from origin by 4 units, therefore, y-coordinate of our absolute value function will be 4.

$f(x)=|x--2|+4$
