Pedro had 1482 hits and Riley had 1200 hits.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of base hits = 2682

Let,

Number of Pedro's hits = x

Number of Riley's hits = y

According to given statement;

x+y=2682    Eqn 1

x = y+282    Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

(y+282)+y=2682\\y+282+y=2682\\2y=2682-282\\2y=2400

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{2400}{2}\\y=1200

Putting y=1200 in Eqn 2

x=1200+282\\x=1482

Pedro had 1482 hits and Riley had 1200 hits.

Piecewise functions have different definitions, depending on when you evaluate them.

Given an input x, your function returns:

  • 2x if the input is negative
  • 1 if the input lies between 0 (included) and 2 (excluded)
  • the square root of x if the input is greater than 2 (included)

You want to know what f(0) is. In other words, you want to know what happens if we give 0 as input.

The piecewise definition tells us that, if the input is 0, the function outputs 1.

So, you have f(0) = 1.

Plz help its so confusing
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

20, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume total number of students registered is n

Last week n/4 people are absent

so people present are n - n/4 = <u>3n/4</u>

Today after return of Jen  1/5 n are absent

so people present are n - n/5 = 4n/5

which is also equal to last week present people + 1 (Jen)

= 3n/4 + 1

= (3n + 4) / 4

so (3n + 4) / 4 = 4n/5

=> 3n + 4 = 4n/5 * 4

=> (3n + 4) * 5 = 16n

=> 15n + 20 = 16n

=> 20 = n

=> n = 20

So total students registered for class is 20

today no of people absent = n/5 = 20/5 = 4

What are the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of 3x - 4y = 9?​
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line -3x-4y-9 = 0 and calculate its properties. Graph of a Straight Line : Calculate the Y-Intercept : Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 9/-4 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y=-2.25000. y-intercept = 9/-4 = -2.25000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the X and Y Intercepts 3x-4y=9. 3x − 4y = 9 3 x - 4 y = 9. Find the x-intercepts. Tap for more steps... To find the x-intercept (s), substitute in 0 0 for y y and solve for x x. 3 x − 4 ⋅ 0 = 9 3 x - 4 ⋅ 0 = 9. Solve the equation. Tap for more steps... Simplify 3 x − 4 ⋅ 0 3 x - 4 ⋅ 0.
