Fifteen hungry kittens found a bucket of sausages. Each time they cut a sausage or a part of a sausage, they cut it into exactly

two new pieces. They made 20 cuts in all and each kitten got 2 (maybe unequal) pieces of sausage. How many sausages were in the bucket?

Rita is planting saplings along her garden fence. When she started, she had x packages of saplings with 5 saplings per package.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

<u>A. When Rita started, she had 7 packages of saplings.</u>

<u>B. If we represent x (number of packages of saplings) on a number line graph, it will start on number 4 (number of packages Rita still has) then moves to the right to number 7, that is the number of packages when Rita started to plant.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of packages Rita started = x

Number of saplings per package = 5

Number of saplings planted by Rita = 15

Number of saplings left = 20

2. How many packages of saplings did she start with?

Number of packages Rita started = (Number of saplings planted by Rita + Number of saplings left)/Number of saplings per package

Replacing with the real values:

x = (15 + 20)/5

x = 35/5 = 7

<u>When Rita started, she had 7 packages of saplings.</u>

3. What would the solution look like on a number line graph?

If we represent x (number of packages of saplings) on a number line graph, it will start on number 4 (number of packages Rita still has) then moves to the right to number 7, that is the number of packages when Rita started to plant.

Tobin rows 2 miles per hour faster than her opponent. If it takes Tobin 30 minutes to finish a race, and it takes her opponent 4

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

If we represent Tobin's speed as x, we can write her opponent's speed as
x-2 (since Tobin is 2 more than them). In addition, since it's in miles per hour, and 45 minutes is 3/4 of an hour, we can say that 3/4ths of her speed in miles per hour is how long the race is, so (3/4)(x-2)=distance of race. In addition, since it only took Tobin 30 minutes, and 30 minutes is half an hour, x/2 (half of her miles per hour) is the length of the race, so (3/4)(x-2)=(1/2)x. Expanding it, we get 3x/4-6/4=x/2. Subtracting x/2 (or 2x/4) from both sides, we get x/4-6/4=0 and by adding 6/4 to both sides we get x/4=6/4. Multiplying 4 to both sides, we get that x=6=Tobin's speed in miles per hour

Answer:

The left end approaches to + Infinite being an exponential function, and the right end to 0

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to remember the exponential function, the best way to find the answer is plotting the graph or arranging a table of values.

As you can see in the attached graph the y axis gets closer and closer to 0 as it moves forward in the x axis, and as it moves to the left the y axis starts increasing rapidly.

Also you got to keep in mind the way that functions behave in terms of the sign of its variable. for example the 10 in this equation only makes the curve to get wider, but if you change the sign to minus, the answer would be different.
