The calorie count of a serving of food can be computed based on its composition of carbohydrate, fat, and protein. The calorie

count C for a serving of food can be computed using the formula Chfp, where h is the number of grams of carbohydrate contained in the serving, f is the number of grams of fat contained in the serving, and p is the number of grams of protein contained in the serving. Solve this formula for f, the number of grams of fat contained in a serving of food.

Answer:

f = $\frac{1}{9}$ [C - 4(h - p)] grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

C = 4h + 9f + 4p

where: C is the calorie count contained in the serving, h is the number of grams of carbohydrate contained in the serving, f is the number of grams of fat contained in the serving, and p is the number of grams of protein contained in the serving.

To solve for the number of grams of fat, then;

C - 4h - 4p = 9f

C - 4(h - p) = 9f

Divide through by 9, so that:

$\frac{C - 4(h - p)}{9}$ = $\frac{9f}{9}$

$\frac{C - 4(h - p)}{9}$ = f

∴ f = $\frac{1}{9}$ [C - 4(h - p)]

The number of grams of fat, f, contained in a serving of food is $\frac{1}{9}$ [C - 4(h - p)]

What is the value of x?

Ksenya-84 [330]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{360 - 2(x + 30)}{2} = x \\ 360 - 2x - 60 = 2x \\ 300 - 4x = 0 \\ 4x = 300 \\ x = 300 \div 4 = 75$

Solve the following inequality.<br> -4(1 - 5a) > -124

NemiM [27]

Answer:

a>−6

Step-by-step explanation:

−4(1−5a)>−124

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.

20a−4>−124

Step 2: Add 4 to both sides.

20a−4+4>−124+4

20a>−120

Step 3: Divide both sides by 20.

20a/20> −120/20

a>−6

A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 1 mile and a speed of 510 mi/h passes directly over a radar station. Find the rate

sdas [7]

Answer:

442 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

To properly solve this question, I illustrate some given parameters using attached image

From the image, apply Pythagoras theorem

$x^2 + 1^2 = y^2$

Differentiate w.r.t time (t)

$2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 0 = 2y\frac{dy}{dt}$

$2x\frac{dx}{dt} = 2y\frac{dy}{dt}$

Divide both sides by 2

$x\frac{dx}{dt} = y\frac{dy}{dt}$

From the question, we have that the plan travels are 510mi/h.

This implies that:

$\frac{dx}{dt} = 510mi/h$

So, we then calculate the value of x when the distance (y) is 2mi i.e.:

$y = 2mi$

Apply Pythagoras theorem

$x^2 + 1^2 = y^2$

$x^2 + 1^2 = 2^2$

$x^2 + 1 = 4$

$x^2 = 4-1$

$x^2 = 3$

$x = \sqrt 3$

So, the expression becomes:

$x\frac{dx}{dt} = y\frac{dy}{dt}$

$\sqrt 3 * 510 = 2* \frac{dy}{dt}$

$\frac{\sqrt 3 * 510}{2} = \frac{dy}{dt}$

$\sqrt 3 * 255 = \frac{dy}{dt}$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 255\sqrt 3$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 255 * 1.7321$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 441.655$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 442$

<em>Hence, the distance is 442 miles</em>
