we name bases k , k+6. so

area: 96= (k + k+6).8/2

=> 2k+6= 24 => k=9

A machine at a bottling company fills water bottles. the number of bottles filled is proportional to the amount of time the mach

Whitepunk [10]

In the table shown below:

Let N be the number of bottles filled,

Let T be the time in hours.

Given that the number of bottles filled is proportional to the amount of time the machine runs, we have

$\begin{gathered} N\propto T \\ \text{Introducing a proportionality constant, we have } \\ N\text{ = kT} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = }\frac{N}{T} \\ \end{gathered}$

Let's evaluate the value of k for each day.

Thus, on monday,

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = 9900} \\ T\text{ = 5.5} \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{9900}{5.5} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1800} \end{gathered}$

Tuesday:

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }11160 \\ T\text{ = }6.2 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{11160}{6.2} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1800} \end{gathered}$

Wednesday:

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }12330 \\ T\text{ = }6.25 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{12330}{6.25} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1972.8} \end{gathered}$

Thursday:

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }10440 \\ T\text{ = }5.80 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{10440}{5.8} \\ \Rightarrow k=1800 \end{gathered}$

It is observed that all exept wednesday have the same value of k.

Thus, the amount of time required for the number of bottles filled on wednesday is evaluated as

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }12330 \\ k\text{ = 1800} \\ T\text{ = ?} \\ \text{but} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{N}{T} \\ 1800\text{ = }\frac{12330}{T} \\ \Rightarrow T\text{ = }\frac{\text{12330}}{1800} \\ T\text{ = 6.85} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the incorrect day is Wednesday. The amount of time for that many bottles should be 6.85 hours.

What is the range for y=x^2-7x-8 ?

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

[-20.25;+∞).

Step-by-step explanation:

1) according to the properties of the given parabola the minimum is:

$x_0=-\frac{-7}{2}=3.5; \ y_0=-20.25;$

2) y₀=-20.25 means, the value -20.25 is minimum of the range, the maximum →+∞;

3) finally, the range y≥-20.25.
