Hello there! A. 3.75 hours is your answer.

Okay, so lets start by finding the unit rate. To find the unit rate, we can use this formula: total ÷ time = unit rate.

total (72 cookies) ÷ time (2.5 hours) = unit rate. (how many cookies she can decorate and bake in an hour)

72 ÷ 2.5 = 28.8 cookies an hour

Now that we have this information, replace the 180 cookies in for the total number and use algebra to solve.

180 cookies ÷ x time = 28.8

Since 180 is a little more than 2 times 72, A would best fit since 3.75 is much closer to 2.5 than the other options. To check this, we can place 3.75 in for x in 180 ÷ x = 28.8.

180 ÷ 3.75 = 28.8.

So, this is your correct answer.

Givenf(x)=6(8−x)+5.<br> (a) What does the notation f (−2) mean? (b) What is the value of f (−2) ?

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

b. 65

a. The notation f(-2) means that we want to evaluate the value of the equation when x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The notation f(-2) means that we want to evaluate the value of the equation when x = -2

B. We will simply substitute the value of 2 for x

f(x) = 6(8-x) + 5

f(-2) = 6(8 - (-2)) + 5

f(-2) = 6(8 + 2) + 5

f(-2) = 6(10) + 5 = 60 + 5 = 65

The graph 4x^2-4x-1 is shown. Use the grpah to find the estimates for the solutions of 4x^2-4x-1=0 and 4x^2 - 4x-1=2

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

a) The estimates for the solutions of $4\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -1 = 0$ are $x_{1}\approx -0.25$ and $x_{2} \approx 1.25$ .

b) The estimates for the solutions of $4\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -1 = 2$ are $x_{1}\approx -0.5$ and $x_{2} \approx 1.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

From image we get a graphical representation of the second-order polynomial $y = 4\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -1$ , where $x$ is related to the horizontal axis of the Cartesian plane, whereas $y$ is related to the vertical axis of this plane. Now we proceed to estimate the solutions for each case:
