The answer should be C. 8 because two times the amount that Charles ate which is 4 equals 8 and 4+8=12

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent the number of of watermelon slices Charles ate.

2x+x=12

x+x+x=12

3x=12

3x/3=12/3

x=4

Charles ate 4 watermelon slices

If Lisa ate twice the amount Charles ate, that would mean she ate 8.

Answer:

There are 25 students in the class.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know the percentage of students who want an ice cream party is 20%, and 5 students want an ice cream party, we know that:

\frac{5}{S}=0.2

, where S is the total amount of students. We can then solve for S:

\frac{5}{S}=0.2 Given equation

5=0.2*S Multiply by S

25=S Divide by 0.2

Therefore, there are 25 students in the class.

Given f(x) = x² - 10x + 22, what is the range of f?
adoni [48]

Answer:

[-3, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many ways to find the range but I will use the method I find the easiest.

First, find the derivative of the function.

f(x) = x² - 10x + 22

f'(x) = 2x - 10

Once you find the derivative, set the derivative equal to 0.

2x - 10 = 0

Solve for x.

2x = 10

x = 5

Great, you have the x value but we need the y value. To find it, plug the x value of 5 back into the original equation.

f(x) = x² - 10x + 22

f(5) = 5² - 10(5) + 22

      = 25 - 50 +22

      = -3

Since the function is that of a parabola, the value of x is the vertex and the y values continue going up to ∞.

This means the range is : [-3, ∞)

Another easy way is just graphing the function and then looking at the range. (I attached a graph of the function below).

Hope this helped!

Which system of equations could be graphed to solve the equation below? log Subscript 0. 5 Baseline x = log Subscript 3 Baseline
Vanyuwa [196]

You can use the fact that two expressions in equality can be considered to be equal to a third variable(not used in given context).

The system of equations that could be graphed to solve the equation given is

  • y = \log_{0.5}(x)\\\\
  • y = \log_3(2+x)

<h3>How can we form a system of equations from an equation?</h3>

Suppose the equation be a = b\\

Let there is a symbol c such that we have a = b = c

It is because a and b are same measure (that is exactly what a = b means)

and we gave another name c to that measure.

Thus, we have

a = c\\b = c

in addition to  a = b\\

<h3>Using the above method to find the system of equations needed</h3>

Since the given equation is log_{0.5}(x) = log_2(2+x)

The 2d graphs are usually expressed as y = f(x) on X-Y plane.

Taking the equation's expressions equal to y, we get

log_{0.5}(x) = log_2(2+x) = y

or, we get system of equations as

y = log_{0.5}(x)\\\\y = log_3{(2 + x)}

Their graph is plotted below. The intersection point of both curves is the solution to the given equation as it satisfies both the equations of the system of equations formed from the given equation.

Thus,

The system of equations that could be graphed to solve the equation given is

  • y = \log_{0.5}(x)\\\\
  • y = \log_3(2+x)
