You ran 2 miles Monday, 3 miles on Tuesday, and 4 miles on Wednesday. How many miles must you run on Thursday so the mean number

of miles for the four days is 3 miles?

The mean, or average, is equal to the sum of all the miles divided by the number of terms you added together. We have 4 terms that will be added, but are missing one term. We will solve for the missing term by setting up an equation for the average and solving for x, the number of miles you must run on Thursday.

3 = (2 + 3 + 4 + x) / 4

12 = 2 + 3 + 4 + x

12 = 9 + x

x = 3 miles

Hope this helps! :)

what is te discontinuity of the function f(x) = the quantity of x squared plus 6x plus 8 all over x plus 4?

seropon [69]

Answer:

A hole at x=-4.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a fraction so we have to worry about division by zero.

The only time we will be dividing by 0 is when x+4 is 0.

Solving the equation

x+4=0 for x:

Subtract 4 on both sides:

x=-4

So there is either a vertical asymptote or a hole at x=-4.

These are the kinds of discontinuities we can have for a rational function.

If there is a hole at x=-4, then x=-4 will make the top zero and can be cancelled out after simplification.

If is is a vertical asymptote, x=-4 will make the top NOT zero.

Let's see what -4 for x in x^2+6x+8 gives us:

(-4)^2+6(-4)+8

16+-24+8

-8+8

0

Top and bottom are 0 when x=-4.

Let's see what happens after simplication.

We are going to factor a^2+bx+c if factorable by finding two numbers that multiply to be c and add up to be b.

So what 2 numbers together multiply to be 8 and add up to be 6.

I hoped you said 4 and 2 because (4)(2)=8 where 4+2=6.

$\frac{x^2+6x+8}{x+4}=\frac{(x+4)(x+2)}{x+4}=x+2$

We we able to cancel out that factor that was giving us x=-4 is a zero.

Therefore there is a hole at x=-4.

Mr.Thompson is on a diet. He currently weighs 250 pounds. He loses 3 pounds per month. Write an equation that models Mr.thompson

jekas [21]

250-3m

m represents months

Not an equation but an expression since I don’t know the number of months he was on the diet.

Are AB and CD parallel, perpendicular, or neither?*<br> 1. A(-4, 8), B(4, 10), C(1, 1), D(-2, 13)

ohaa [14]

Answer:

Perpendicular

<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$A = (-4, 8)$

$B = (4, 10)$

$C = (1, 1)$

$D = (-2, 13)$

Required

Is AB and CD parallel?

First, we need to calculate the slope (m) of AB and CD

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

For AB:

$A (x_1,y_1)= (-4, 8)$

$B(x_2,y_2) = (4, 10)$

So:

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{10 - 8}{4 - (-4)}$

$m = \frac{10 - 8}{4 +4}$

$m = \frac{2}{8}$

$m = \frac{1}{4}$

For CD:

$C(x_1,y_1) = (1, 1)$

$D(x_2,y_2) = (-2, 13)$

So:

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{13 - 1}{-2 - 1}$

$m = \frac{12}{-3}$

$m = -4$

For Lines to be parallel, the slope must be equal:

i.e. $m_1 = m_2$

This condition is not true because:

$\frac{1}{4} \neq -4$

For Lines to be perpendicular, the slope must be:

$m_1 = -\frac{1}{m_2}$

This implies:

$\frac{1}{4} = -\frac{1}{-4}$

$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{-1}{-4}$

$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{4}$

<em>Hence, the lines are perpendicular</em>
