Answer:

each individual bag of rice weighs 9-pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on this information we would need to create an equation for the weight of each individual bag of rice. We are told that a 64lb package contains 4 boxes so...

64 lbs. = 4 boxes

Each box contains a 7-pound bag of beans and 1 bag of rice. Since we are told how much the bag of beans weighs we can multiply this by the number of boxes to calculate its total weight from the package...

7 lb. * 4 = 28 lbs.

Now we know that the bags of beans in the package weights 28 pounds. We now subtract this from the total weight of the package to find the total weight of the bags of rice in the package.

64 lbs. - 28 lbs = 38 lbs.

We can see now that the 4 bags of rice in the package weighs a total of 28 pounds. Therefore, we can divide that total by 4 to calculate the weight of each individual bag of rice...

28 lbs. / 4 = 9 lbs.

Finally, we can see that each individual bag of rice weighs 9-pounds.

A diver begins at sea level and dives down 200 feet. He ascends at a steady rate of 12 1/3 feet per minute for 4.5 minutes. Whic
Fittoniya [83]
Suppose the depth of the diver is d at time time t, rate is given by r=12 1/3 ft/ min. The equation representing the depth of the diver at time t will be:
f(t)=200-(12 1/3)t
Therefore the depth of the diver after t=4.5 min will be:
f(4.5)=200-(12 1/3)*4.5
f(4.5)=200-55.5
f(4.5)=144.5 ft
This means that after 4.5 minutes the diver will be 144.5 ft deep.

What are the solutions of 12 – x2 = 0?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

x = ± 2\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

12 - x² = 0 ( add x² to both sides )

12 = x² or

x² = 12 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ±\sqrt{12}

  = ± \sqrt{4(3)} = ± 2\sqrt{3}

Evaluate the function rule to find the range of each function for the domain.
aev [14]
F(x) = x^2 - 6x + 4               {-3, 0, 5}   (x, y) x is the domain, y is the range.

plug in the domain numbers into the equation to find the range.

y = x^2 - 6x + 4
y = -3^2 - 6(-3) + 4
y = 9 - (-18) + 4
y = 9 + 18 + 4
y = 31                        (-3, 31)

y = x^2 - 6x + 4
y = 0^2 - 6(0) + 4
y = 0 - 0 + 4
y = 4                       (0, 4)

y = x^2 - 6x + 4
y = 5^2 - 6(5) + 4
y = 25 - 30 + 4
y = -1                       (5, -1)

c. {-1, 4, 31}

hope this helped, God bless!
