High concentrations of carbon monoxide CO can cause coma and possible death. The time required for a person to reach a COHb leve

l capable of causing a coma can be approximated by the quadratic formula model T=.0002xsq - .316x +127.9, where T is the exposure time in hours necessary to reach this level and 500≤x≤800 is the amount of CO present in the air in parts per million (ppm).
What is the exposure time when x = 610?

Answer 9.6 hr I got this easy

Estimate the concentration of CO necessary to produce a coma in 6 hr.
This is the part I can’t find any help on.

<span>T = 0.0002x^2 - 0.316x + 127.9

When x = 610,
T = 0.0002(610)^2 - 0.316(610) + 127.9 = 0.0002(372100) - 192.76 + 127.9 = 74.42 - 64.86 = 9.56.
The exposure time is 9.56 hours.

</span><span>T = 0.0002x^2 - 0.316x + 127.9 = 6
0.0002x^2 - 0.316x + 121.9 = 0
x^2 - 1580x + 609500 = 0
x^2 - 1580x + 624100 = -609500 + 624100 = 14600
(x - 790)^2 = 14600
x - 790 = + or -120.83
x = 121 + 790 or -121 + 790
x = 911 or 669

but </span><span>500 ≤ x ≤ 800, therefore the required amount of CO is 669 ppm.</span>

Bill reads 1/5 of a book on Monday he reads 2/3 of a book on Tuesday if he finish reading the book on Wednesday what fraction of
Evgen [1.6K]

total book =1

1/5 + 2/3 + wed = 1

get a common denominator of 15

1/5 * 3/3 + 2/3 * 5/5 + wed = 1 * 15/15

3/15 + 10/15 + wed = 15/15

combine like terms

13/15 + wed = 15/15

subtract 13/15 on each side

wed = 15/15-13/15

wed = 2/15

He read 2/15 of the book on Wednesday

Find the root(s) of f (x) = (x + 5)3(x - 9)2(x + 1). -5 with multiplicity 3 5 with multiplicity 3 -9
faust18 [17]

Answer:

  -5, multiplicity 3; +9, multiplicity 2; -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The roots of f(x) are those values of x that make the factors be zero. For a factor of x-a, the root is x=a, because a-a=0. If the factor appears n times, then the root has multiplicity n.

f(x) = (x+5)^3(x-9)^2(x+1) has roots ...

  • -5 with multiplicity 3
  • +9 with multiplicity 2
  • -1

How many students tired out for the volleyball team is this a statistical or no
vodomira [7]

That question is not a statistical question since there will be only one answer. If it were to be statistical it would have multiple answers an example of that type of question would be, Why did you decide to try out for the volleyball team? This is statistical because some could say they joined for fun, credits, to do something active, etc.. there would be multiple answers. Your question, How many students tried out for the volleyball team isn't statistical since it will have one answer such as, 26 students, 15 student, 2 students, etc...

Hope this helped!

Which piecewise function is shown in the graph?
mash [69]

Based on the characteristics of <em>linear</em> and <em>piecewise</em> functions, the <em>piecewise</em> function f(x) = \left \{ {{-0.5\cdot x +1, \,x < 0} \atop {2\cdot x - 2, \,x \ge 0}} \right. is shown in the graph attached herein. (Correct choice: A)

<h3>How to determine a piecewise function</h3>

In this question we have a graph formed by two different <em>linear</em> functions. <em>Linear</em> functions are polynomials with grade 1 and which are described by the following formula:

y = m · x + b     (1)

Where:

  • x - Independent variable.
  • y - Dependent variable.
  • m - Slope
  • b - Intercept

By direct observation and by applying (1) we have the following <em>piecewise</em> function:

f(x) = \left \{ {{-0.5\cdot x +1, \,x < 0} \atop {2\cdot x - 2, \,x \ge 0}} \right.

Based on the characteristics of <em>linear</em> and <em>piecewise</em> functions, the <em>piecewise</em> function f(x) = \left \{ {{-0.5\cdot x +1, \,x < 0} \atop {2\cdot x - 2, \,x \ge 0}} \right. is shown in the graph attached herein. (Correct choice: A)
