A box of fruit has four times more peaches than plums.

Mathematics

Ugo [173]3 years ago

Answer:

The number of plums = 4

The number of peaches =  16

The number of nectarines =  1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of peaches be = x

Let the number of nectarines be = y

Let the number of plums be = z

A box of fruit has four times more peaches than plums. This means that

The number of peaches = 4 X the number of plums.

i.e x = 4z

The box has 3 fewer nectarines than plums. This means that

Number of nectarines = number of plums - 3

i.e y = z - 3

If the box contains 21 pieces of fruit, this means that if we sum up all the peaches, nectarines, and plums in the box, we will get 21.

Peaches + Nectarines + Plums = 21

4z + z-3 + z = 21

6z =21 +3

z = 24/6

z = 4

Therefore, the number of plums = 4

The number of peaches = 4 X 4 = 16

The number of nectarines = 4 -3 = 1

I really need help! I'm stuck.
Dovator [93]

y-axis = altitude in feet

x-axis = minutes

slope = y/x = feet/minute


According to above data, we know that 1800 feet is y-intercept and slope is -300 feet per minute (why slope is negative? because its approaching ground at a constant speed)

a. slope = -300

  y-intercept = 1800


b. y = -300 x + 1800


c. Here we are given x = 2 minutes

y = -300(2) + 1800

y = -600 + 1800

y = 1200

The balloon will be 1200 feet high above the ground in 2 minutes.


d. Here we are given 300 feet which is y, and find x minutes.

y = -300 x + 1800

300 = -300x + 1800

300 - 1800 = - 300x

-1500 = -300x

1500 = 300 x

x = 1500 / 300

x = 5

The balloon will reach 300 feet above the ground in 5 minutes.


e. It asking when the balloon will reach the ground, if the balloon reaches the ground than the height will be 0, therefore x-intercept (y=0).

y = -300 x + 1800

0 = -300 x + 1800

-1800 = -300x

1800 / 300 = x

x = 6

The balloon will reach the ground in 6 minutes.

Can someone please help me find the horizontal asymptote of this graph I dont undestand
Andreas93 [3]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  p = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is of an exponential function. An exponential function always has a horizontal asymptote of 0.

  p(t) = 5×2^t

  p(t) → 0 as x → -∞

The horizontal asymptote is p = 0.
