Answer:
The fraction of tiles that will be the color of "sand" is 23/60
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The sum of the fractions of the tiles must be equal to 1
Let
x ----> the fraction of tiles that will be the color of "sand"
we have that

solve for x
Find the Least Common Multiple of denominators

Multiply both sides by 60

simplify


therefore
The fraction of tiles that will be the color of "sand" is 23/60
Answer:
vertex = (-4, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
In general, the graph of the absolute value function f(x) = a|x - h| + k will have its lowest value when f(x) = k (or highest value for f(x) = -a|x - h| + k). The lowest/highest value is the vertex (turning point).
Therefore, from inspection of the equation we can say that the y-coordinate of the vertex is 5.
Set the equation to 5 and then solve for x:
⇒ 5 = 1/2 |-X – 4| + 5
⇒ 1/2 |-X – 4| = 0
⇒ |-X – 4| = 0
Therefore, (-X - 4) = 0 and -(-X - 4) = 0
⇒ X = -4 (for both)
So the vertex is (-4, 5)
<u>Translations</u>
Absolute value parent function: f(x) = | -x |
Horizontal translation left 4 units: f(x) = |-x - 4|
Horizontal stretch of sf 1/2: f(x) = 1/2 |-x - 4|
Vertical translation up 5 units: f(x) = 1/2 |-x - 4| + 5
Answer: The post office is 32 feet tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
We set up a proportion : 10ft/15ft = xft/48ft
In this equation "x" is the height of the post office. After setting up a proportion with the size of the buildings on the top (numerator) and the shadows of each building on the bottom (denominator) we cross multipy to get our equation to find x. We then divide both sides of the equation by 15 to get our answer.

Answer:
-5 is slope, 6 is y-intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
the original equation is y=mx+b
m is the slope
b is the y intercept.
So applying -5 would be slope and 6 would be intercept.
