Answer:

1120 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of sea water is directly proportional to the amount of salt in the water.

Let the amount of sea water be W and the amount of salt be S.

This means that:

W α S

=> W = kS

where k = constant of proportionality

2 liters of sea water contain 70 grams of salt Therefore:

2 = k * 70

k = 2 / 70 = 1/35

Therefore, for 32 liters of sea water:

32 = 1/35 * S

S = 35 * 32

S = 1120 grams

There are 1120 grams of salt in 32 liters of water.

Which graph could potentially have a correlation coeffiecient (r value) of 0.95?

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A and D is incorrect because they are negative correlation

and B is incorrect because a correction of 0.95 means all values are close to each other, but B values are scattered much more that C values

so answer C

PLEASE SOLVE AND CHECK. SHOW COMPLETE SOLUTION

Solution:

$\sqrt{4x + 13} = x + 2$

First square both sides.

$= > ( \sqrt{4x + 13} ) ^{2} = (x + 2) ^{2}$

Now, square root and square gets cancel out in the LHS. And in the RHS, apply the identity: (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b².

$= > 4x + 13 = {(x)}^{2} + 2 \times x \times 2 + (2) ^{2} \\ = > 4x + 13 = {x}^{2} + 4x + 4$

Now, transpose 4x and 4 to LHS.

$= > 4x - 4x + 13 - 4 = {x}^{2} \\$

Now, do the addition and subtraction.

$= > {x}^{2} = 9 \\ = > x = \sqrt{9} \\ = > x = ±3$

Answer:

x = ± 3

You are choosing between two health clubs. Club A offers membership for a fee of $12 plus a monthly fee of $28. Club B offers me

EleoNora [17]

A has fixed one time fee of $12 and if you go to it say "m" months you pay $28 for each month, so your total cost at A is really 12 + 28m.

B has a fixed one time fee of $20 and if you go to it "m" months you pay $26 for each month, so you total cost at B is 20 + 26m.

how many months for the cost to be the same?

$\stackrel{A}{12+28m}=\stackrel{B}{20+26m}\implies 12+2m=20\implies 2m=8\implies m=\cfrac{8}{2}\implies m=4$

well, since the cost for both is the same, we can just get A's, knowing that B is the same

$12+28(4)\implies 12+112\implies 124$
