Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function that represents the amount of mosquitoes as;

M(x) = -(x-5)² + 25

To get the maximum mosquitoes possible, we need to first find x;

At the maximum dM/dx = 0

dM//dx = -2(x-5)

0 = -2(x-5)

-2(x-5) = 0

-2x + 10 = 0

-2x = -10

x = 10/2

x = 5

Substitute x = 5 into the function;

M(5) = −(5−5)² +25

M(5) = 0+25

M(5) = 25

Hence the maximum number of mosquitoes is 25

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (6,14) and is parallel to the line with the following equation? y
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

y=\displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}x+22

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

<u>What we need to know:</u>

  • Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where <em>m</em> is the slope and <em>b</em> is the y-intercept
  • Parallel lines always have the same slope (<em>m</em>)

<u>Determine the slope (</u><em><u>m</u></em><u>):</u>

<u />y=\displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}x -1<u />

The slope of the given line is \displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}, since it is in the place of <em>m</em> in y=mx+b. Because parallel lines always have the same slope, the slope of a parallel line would also be \displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}. Plug this into y=mx+b:

y=\displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}x+b

<u>Determine the y-intercept (</u><em><u>b</u></em><u>):</u>

y=\displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}x+b

To find the y-intercept, plug in the given point (6,14) and solve for <em>b</em>:

14=\displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}(6)+b\\\\14=-8+b\\b=22

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is 22. Plug this back into y=\displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}x+b:

y=\displaystyle-\frac{4}{3}x+22

I hope this helps!

I already made an attempt at this question and I would just like to check my answer z = ?
Salsk061 [2.6K]

So we have the equation:

\frac{z+9}{4}=2.1

Then we need to multiply by 4 on both sides to get rid of the denominator on the left:

z+9=8.4

Then we subtract 9 on both sides to solve for z:

z=-0.6

Therefore the answer is z = -0.6.

How are piecewise functions and infinite limits alike? How are they different?
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: i got 100% on the journal activity on EDGE with this “ The difference of piecewise functions and infinite limits is the graphs, with piecewise functions you're graphing several equations... when looking at a graph with an infinite limit there is a difference. A similarity they do have is their end points.” I haven’t been paying attention at all so this I made this up and some how it works(?!)

Step-by-step explanation: I’m not sure if it’s even correct but it worked as a response!
