Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

the function that gives the alcohol level is:

A ( x ) = - 0.015 x^3 + 1.05 x

where x is the number of hours.

we need to know if after 4 hours an average person is legally drunk, thus:

x=4

and we substitute this in the function:

A ( 4 ) = - 0.015 (4)^ 3 + 1.05(4)

solving these operations we obtain:

A(4)=-0.015(64)+4.2\\A(4)=-0.96+4.2

A(4)=3.24

the alcohol level after 4 hours is 3.24.

Since a person is considered to be legally drunk if the level exceeds 1.5, and we obtained 3.24 which is greater than 1.5, a person who has been drinking for 4 hours under the conditions indicated by the problem would be considered legally drunk.

Find an equation of a line containing the point (-6,3) and has slope<br> - 1/3
AfilCa [17]

Answer: y=-1/3x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation that contains the given point and has the same slope, we can plug it into slope-intercept form to find the y-intercept.

3=-1/3(-6)+b         [multiply]

3=2+b                   [subtract both sides by 2]

b=1

Now that we know the y-intercept, we know that the equation is y=-1/3x+1.

Help ASAP I stink at these i always give brainliest and thanks
denis23 [38]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the recursive formula with a₁ = 5 , then

a₂ = 2a₁ - 7 = 2(5) - 7 = 10 - 7 = 3

a₃ = 2a₂ - 7 = 2(3) - 7 = 6 - 7 = - 1

a₄ = 2a₃ - 7 = 2(- 1) - 7 = - 2 - 7 = - 9 → A
