A piece of driftwood floats on the surface of the ocean. Due to the wave motion, its height rises and falls relative to the heig

ht of the water with no waves. The maximum height of the driftwood is 2 ft, relative to the surface, and its minimum height is −1.5 feet.
A storm surge causes the height of the waves to be multiplied by 4.
What is the minimum height of the driftwood in the storm? __________ ft.
What is the distance between the maximum and minimum heights of the driftwood during the storm? ______________ ft.

Assuming that both the max and min heights of the wave are multiplied by 4, the new max height is 2*4 =8ft, and the min height is -1.5*4 =-6ft.

<span>What is the minimum height of the driftwood in the storm? -6ft.
What is the distance between the maximum and minimum heights of the driftwood during the storm? 8ft-(-6ft)=14 ft. </span>

10(y+2)-y=2(9y-8) i need to know how to solve it
vlabodo [156]

10(y+2)-y=2(9y-8)

Mutiply the first bracket by 10

Mutiply the second bracket by 2

(10)(y)(10)(2)= 10y+20

(2)(9y)(2)(-8)= 18y-16

10y+20-y= 18y-16

10y-y+20= 18y-16

9y+20= 18y-16

move 18y to the other side

sign changes from +18y to -18y

9y-18y+20= 18y-18y-16

-9y+20= -16

move +20 to the other side

sign changes from +20 to -20

-9y+20-20=-16-20

-9y= -36

divide by -9

-9y/-9= -36/-9

y= 4

Answer: y= 4

Explain why a quadratic function is a reasonable model for revenue. choose the correct answer below.
Andrei [34K]
Revenue = Sales Volume (x) times Price. Price depends on volume sold: the more you are willing to sell per week, the lower your average price will have to be to get them all sold. 

<span>eg, if there are a fixed number of buyers with a variety of incomes, then you might be able to sell the first 10 per month for £30 each through the up-market High Street jeweller. If you want to sell an extra 10 per month you might have to reduce the price to £15 and sell them through Asda/WalMart. And to move another 10 per month you may have to sell them from a street stall at £5 each! </span>

If the cost of a competing factor of production, such as a machine that also could do the job, rises. This would result in a shi
Harrizon [31]

Keep in mind that we're framing it based on what the first sentence says, which is "If the cost of a competing factor of production, such as a machine that also could do the job, rises".

So if the cost of getting a machine part, various parts, or the entire machine cost rises, then demand for the machine will go down. This will make employers seek out substitutes. In this case, those substitutes would be human labor. As employers demand for labor goes up, the wages will rise assuming the supply of workers is held constant. If the supply of workers increased, then you could argue the wages could go down. So that's why I'm assuming the supply is held in check.

The value of x varies directly with y, and whenX= 2/3, y = 6. Find the value of y when x = 10-24A.y=9B.y=4C. y=93D.y=1
uysha [10]

Problem

Solution

for this case we know that when x =2/3 , y= 6

10\frac{1}{3}=\frac{10\cdot3+1}{3}=\frac{30+1}{3}=\frac{31}{3}

Then we want to find the value of y= ? when x= 10 1/3 = 31/3 and we can do this:

6/(2/3) = y/(31/3)

\frac{6}{\frac{2}{3}}=\frac{y}{\frac{31}{3}}y=\frac{31}{3}\cdot\frac{6}{\frac{2}{3}}=\frac{31}{3}\cdot\frac{3}{2}\cdot\frac{6}{1}=\frac{31\cdot3\cdot6}{3\cdot2\cdot1}=93

And solving for y we got:

y = (3/2) * 6 * (31/3) = 31*3 = 93

C. y= 93
