Answer:

Suppose: M, N, P, Q are the midpoints of AB, BC, CD, AD respectively

=> MNPQ is the quadrilateral inside ABCD

connect B to D, ΔABD has : M is the midpoint of AB

Q is the midpoint of AD

=> MQ is the midpoint polygon of ΔABD

=> MQ // BD and MQ = 1/2.BD (1)

ΔBCD has: N is the midpoint of BC

P is the midpoint of DC

=> NP is the midpoint polygon of ΔBCD

=> NP // BD and NP = 1/2.BD (2)

from (1) and (2) => MQ // NP ( //BD)

MQ = NP (=1/2.BD)

=> MNPQ is a parallelogram.

=> the quadrilateral inside ABCD is a parallelogram.

A devastating freeze in California's Central Valley in January 2007 wiped out approximately 75% of the state's citrus crop. It t

solniwko [45]

The relationship between the percentage of frozen citrus crop, and the cost of box of oranges is an illustration of a linear function.

<em>The linear equation of the function is: </em> $g(P) = 22.9P+7$ <em>.</em>
<em>The inverse function is: </em> $g^{-1}(c) = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)$ <em> .</em>
<em>A practical domain is from 0% to 100%</em>
<em>A practical range is from 7 to 29.9 </em>

<u>A. Input quantity</u>

The input quantity is the percentage of frozen citrus crop

<u />

<u>B. Output quantity </u>

The output quantity is the cost of box of oranges

<u>C. The linear function</u>

We have:

$(P_1,c_1) = (20\%,11.58)\\(P_2,c_2) = (80\%,25.32)$

<em>Calculate the slope of the function</em>

$m = \frac{c_2 - c_1}{P_2 - P_1}$

$m = \frac{25.32 - 11.58}{80\%-20\%}$

$m = \frac{13.74}{60\%}$

$m = 22.9$

<em>The linear equation is calculated as follows:</em>

$c -c_1 = m(P-P_1)$

$c -11.58= 22.9(P-20\%)$

$c-11.58 = 22.9P-4.58$

<u>D. Rewrite as y = mx + b</u>

We have:

$c-11.58 = 22.9P-4.58$

Collect like terms

$c = 22.9P - 4.58 + 11.58$

$c = 22.9P+7$

<em>The function is:</em>

$g(P) = 22.9P+7$

<u>E. A practical domain</u>

The domain is the possible values of P. Because P is a percentage, its possible values are 0% to 100%.

The domain of the function is: $[0\%,100\%]$

<u>F. A practical range</u>

When P = 0%

$c = 22.9 \times 0\% + 7 = 7$

When P = 100%

$c = 22.9 \times 100\% + 7 = 29.9$

Hence, the range of the function is: $[7,29.9]$

G. The meaning of $g^{-1}(12)$

The inverse function of g(P) is $g^{-1}(P)$

So:

$g^{-1}(12)$ is the percentage of frozen citrus crop, when the cost is $12.

<u>H. The inverse formula</u>

We have:

$c = 22.9P+7$

Subtract 7 from both sides

$c - 7 = 22.9P$

Make P the subject

$P = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)$

So, the inverse formula is:

$g^{-1}(c) = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)$

Substitute 12 for c

$g^{-1}(12) = \frac{1}{22.9}(12 - 7)$

$g^{-1}(12) = \frac{1}{22.9} \times 5$

$g^{-1}(12) = 22\%$

I need help solving this problem.

madam [21]

(f+g-k)(x) means to add the equations f(x) and g(x) then subtract k(x)

2x^2 + 3x + 4x - 9 = 2x^2 +7x -9

2x^2 + 7x - 9 - x^2 -7x = x^2 -9

The answer is : x^2 - 9

Machine A makes 12.75 ounces of popcorn in 3 minutes. Machine B makes 18 ounces of popcorn in 4 minutes. If each machine makes p

melamori03 [73]

Answer: Machine A makes popcorn at a rate of 4.25 ozs per minute (12.75oz/3min).

Machine B makes popcorn at a rate of 4.5 ozs per minute (18oz/4min).

Machine A will make 4.25oz/min * 10minutes = 42.5oz of popcorn after 10 minutes

Machine B will make 4.5oz/min * 10 minutes = 45oz of popcorn after 10 minutes

After 10 minutes there will be a total of 42.5oz (Machine A) +45oz (Machine B) = 87.5oz.

So the answer is: Yes there will be (more than) enough popcorn if both machines make popcorn for 10 minutes.

If the question is wondering how many 9oz bags they can fill: 87.5oz/9oz per bag = 9.7222 bags. The machines can fill 9, 9oz, bags with some popcorn leftover.
