Answer:

Total cooking time = 20t + 15

The expression 15t + 20 is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

weight of chicken = t lbs

cook time per lb = 20 minutes

This means that:

1 lb weight requires a cooking time of 20 minutes

1 lb = 20 minutes

∴ t lbs = 20 × t = 20t minutes.

We were also told that each chicken required an extra cooking time of 15 minutes, in addition to the total cooking time due to the weight. Therefore, the total cooking time is calculated thus:

Total cooking time = cooking time due to weight + 15 minutes

Total cooking time = 20t + 15

Hence the expression 15t + 20 is wrong, due to the explanation given above.

Answer: In particular, let’s focus our attention on the behavior of each graph at and around . 2 and x= -1 for x < 2. There are open circles at both endpoints (2, 1) and (-2, 1). The third is h (x) = 1 / (x-2)^2, in which the function curves asymptotically towards y=0 and x=2 in quadrants one and two."

Could someone please help me with this question??

Answer: 26 cups will fit in a dispenser that is 30 cm high.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we know that the first cup in the stack (the bottom cup) will be ten centimeters high, and we know that for every cup that is added on top of that, .8 centimeter will be added to the height. So, if we want to find how many cups will be in the dispenser we do this simple math:

30 - 10 = 20   Because the first cup is ten centimeters, we have to subtract that from the dispenser height.

20/.8=25   To find how many cups will be stacked on top of the first cup, we divide the remaining height by .8, the height of every other cup.

Now that we know that there will be 25 cups stacked on top of the first, we add the bottom cup to the rest of them.

25 + 1 = 26 Cups.
