A(x) = -0.015x^3+1.05xA ( x ) = − 0.015 x 3 + 1.05 x gives the alcohol level in an average person's blood x hrs after drinking 8

oz of 100-proof whiskey. If the level exceeds 1.5 units, a person is legally drunk.

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.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

using the rule of exponents

a^{-m} = \frac{1}{a^{m} }

substitute x = - 3 into f(x)

f(- 3) = 4((2)^{-3} = 4 × \frac{1}{2^{3} } = 4 × \frac{1}{8} = \frac{1}{2}

Find the sum of a finite arithmetic sequence from n = 1 to n = 10, using the expression 3n − 8.
maw [93]

Answer:

The answer is 85

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation used to find the sum of an arithmetic series is: (n/2) * (a1 + an).

n in this case is 10 (the number of numbers in the series)

an is 22 (plug in 10 to the expression 3n-8)

and a1 is -5 (plug in 1 to the expression 3n-8)

so when you plug everything in to the final equation, you get

(10/2) * (-5 + 22)

5 * 17
