Answer:

Number of fruit flies after 14 days is equal to 1880.

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

fruit flies at the beginning of the experiment = 200 fruit flies

rate of increase of fruit flies = 5 per hour

to calculate the number of flies after 14 days.

time = 14 days = 14 × 24 = 336 hours

flies after 14 days = initial number of flies + rate of increase  × time

                             = 200 + 5 × 336

                             = 1880 fruit flies.

hence,Number of fruit flies after 14 days is equal to 1880.

Which piece wise function is graphed below
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is how to approach the problem:

We see that all our restrictions for all four answer choices are relatively the same with a couple of changes here and there.
One way to eliminate choices would be to look at which restrictions don't match the graph.

At x<-5, there is a linear function that does have a -2 slope and will intersect the x axis at -7. The line ends with an open circle, so any answer choice with a linear restriction of x less than or equal to -5 is wrong. This cancels out choices C and D.

Now we have two choices left.

For the quadratic in the middle, the vertex is at (-2,6) and the vertex is a maximum, meaning our graph needs to have a negative sign in front of the highest degree term. In our case, none of our quadratics left are in standard form, and instead are in vertex form.

Vertext form is f(x) = a(x-h)^2 + k.

h being the x-coordinate of the vertex and k being the y-coordinate.

We know that the opposite of h will be the actual x-coordinate of the vertex, so if our vertex is -2, we will see x+2 inside the parenthesis. This leaves option A as the only correct choice.

What is the solution to the inequality?
nika2105 [10]
7x + 18 > -3

Subtract 18 from both sides, 
7x > -21

Divide from 7, 
x > -3

In short, Your Answer would be Option D

Hope this helps!

Heights of male students in the eighth grade are normally distributed with a mean of 57.2 in. and standard deviation of 2.4 in.
romanna [79]
<span>In statistics finding percentiles relates to the standard deviation and something called a z-score. For normally distributed data the z-score represents how many standard deviations above or below the mean that group is a part of. The z-score for normally distributed data for the 90th percentile is 1.28. The standard deviation is then multiplied by the z-score to find, in this case, the shotlrtest height needed to be in the 90th percentile of this population. In this case to be in the 90th percentile your height must be 60.27 inches.</span>

barxatty [35]

Answer:

  2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the values in place of the corresponding variables and do the arithmetic:

  ab - 0.5b = (1)(5) -0.5(5) = 5 - 2.5 = 2.5
