Answer:

k = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 0.5x

g(x) = 0.5x - k

Required

Find k

The question illustrates changing of positions of lines along the x and/or y axis;

But in this case; if graph f(x) is shifted down, then it represents a negative shift of points in the y axis.

Given that f(x) = 0.5x

and f(x) is shifted down by 3 units to give g(x); then:

f(x) - 3 = g(x)

Substitute 0.5x for f(x)

0.5x - 3 = g(x)

Recall that g(x) = 0.5x - k ---------- (given)

0.5x - 3 = 0.5x - k

Subtract 0.5x from both sides

-0.5x + 0.5x - 3 = -0.5x + 0.5x - k

-3 = -k

Multiply both sides by -1

-3 * -1 = -k * -1

3 = k

k = 3

Hence, the value of k is 3

If 3/10 of the flowers are green and 3/4 of the rest are yellow. And the rest are purple. How many flowers do you have if you ha

mina [271]

Answer:

The total number of flowers is 680

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of flowers green

y ----> the number of flowers yellow

z ----> the number of flowers purple

we know that

$x=\frac{3}{10}(x+y+z)$ ----> equation A

The rest is equal to

$\frac{7}{10}(x+y+z)$

$y=(\frac{3}{4})\frac{7}{10}(x+y+z)$

$y=\frac{21}{40}(x+y+z)$ -----> equation B

$z=(\frac{1}{4})\frac{7}{10}(x+y+z)$

$z=\frac{7}{40}(x+y+z)$ -----> equation C

Remember that

$z=119$

substitute in equation C and solve for (x+y+z)

(x+y+z) ----> is the total of flowers

$119=\frac{7}{40}(x+y+z)$

$(x+y+z)=119(40)/7$

$(x+y+z)=680$

Find the value of x

substitute in the equation A

$x=\frac{3}{10}(680)=204$

Find the value of y

substitute in the equation B

$y=\frac{21}{40}(680)=357$

therefore

The number of flowers green is 204

The number of flowers yellow is 357

The he number of flowers purple is 119

The total number of flowers is 680

valkas [14]

Given:

The rate of interest on three accounts are 7%, 8%, 9%.

She has twice as much money invested at 8% as she does in 7%.

She has three times as much at 9% as she has at 7%.

Total interest for the year is $150.

To find:

Amount invested on each rate.

Solution:

Suppose x be the amount invested at 7%. Then,

The amount invested at 8% = 2x

The amount invested at 9% = 3x

Total interest for the year is $150.

$x\times \dfrac{7}{100}+2x\times \dfrac{8}{100}+3x\times \dfrac{9}{100}=150$

Multiplying both sides by 100, we get

$7x+16x+27x=15000$

$50x=15000$

Dividing both sides by 50, we get

$x=\dfrac{15000}{50}$

$x=300$

So, the amount invested at 7% is $300$ .

The amount invested at 8% is

$2(300)=600$

The amount invested at 9% is

$3(300)=900$

Hence, the stockbroker invested $300 at 7%, $600 at 8%, and $900 at 9%.

A group of college students developed a solar-powered car and entered it in a race. The car travels at a constant speed of 100 m

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

A) Distance time graph

B) d(t) = 25t

C) The expression shows the distance more clearly.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) A distance time graph as seen in the attachment provides a representation of the distance travelled.

We are told the car travels at a constant speed of 100 meters per 4 seconds. Which means that 100 m for each 4 hours. So, for 200m, it's 8 hours like seen in the graph and for 300m,it's 12 hours as seen in the graph.

B) And expression for the distance is;

d = vt

Where;

d is distance in metres

v is speed in m/s and t is time

We are told that the car travels at a constant speed of 100 meters per 4 seconds.

Thus, v = 100/4 = 25 m/s

Distance travelled over time is;

d(t) = 25t

C) Looking at both A and B above, it's obvious that the expression of the distance shows a more clearer way of getting the distance because once we know the time travelled, we will just plug it into the equation and get the distance. Whereas, for the representation form, one will need to longer graphs if the time spent is very long.
