Mathematics

Answer:

B.  Alex smokes a pack of cigarettes per day even though he knows that he may face poor health down the road because of his smoking habit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time preference means that the person would like to have temporary but instant satisfaction. In this case, B would be the best choice, for Alex wants to experience the "high" (I guess?) from smoking, even when he knew that there would be health consequences down the road.

In this case, it is not:

A, for Thomas is not going to receive his reward (a profit from the investment) until later on. The money he invest is still "there", but it is technically gone into investment.

C, because this is assuming that retirement is a long way off, and that this would be a long-term investment, rather than a short term.

D, this is a long-term investment, as Sarah "hopes" that she can earn it all back in the future. With what she learns, she, in the long run, wants to find a sustainable & high-paying job.

Which does not describe the same situation y=3x+5
Naddika [18.5K]
Given the function. y = 3x + 5

For, x = -3; y = 3(-3) + 5 = -9 + 5 = -4
For x = 1; y = 3(1) + 5 = 3 + 5 = 8
For x = 4; y = 3(4) + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17

Thus the table representing the function is the table with: -3, 1 and 4 as x-values and -4, 8, 17 as y-values.

For x = 0; y = 3(0) + 5 = 0 + 5 = 5
For y = 0; 0 = 3x + 5; 3x = -5 and x = -5/3

Thus the graph of the function is a straight line passing through points (0, 5) and (-5/3, 0).

To illustrate the fuction as a word statement we say that y is five more than three times x


From the given descriptions, the graph does not represent the graph of y = 3x + 5.

Therefore, the one that does not describe the same situation is the graph.

Find the height of a triangular prism with a base length of 10 yards, a base height of 20 yards, and a volume of 600 cubic yards
Artemon [7]
The volume of the triangular prism is the Area of the base times the height
the area of the base is:
\frac{ab}{2}
and the volume is:
V=(\frac{ba}{2})h

now b=10 yards,  a=20 yards, and V=600 yards^3
we clean the height 

h=\frac{2V}{ab}=\frac{2\cdot 600}{10\cdot 20} = 6


the answer is height = 6 yards
