A biology test is worth 100 points and has 36 questions.
1 answer:
Answer:
(a) 7 essays and 29 multiple questions
(b) Your friend is incorrect
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent multiple choice with M and essay with E.
So:
--- Number of questions
--- Points
Solving (a): Number of question of each type.
Make E the subject of formula in
Substitute 36 - M for E in
Collect Like Terms
Divide both sides by -4
Substitute 29 for M in
Solving (b): Can the multiple questions worth 4 points each?
It is not possible.
See explanation.
If multiple question worth 4 points each, then
would be:
Where x represents the number of points for essay questions.
Substitute 7 for E and 29 for M.
Subtract 116 from both sides
Make x the subject
Since the essay question can not have worth negative points.
Then, it is impossible to have the multiple questions worth 4 points
<em>Your friend is incorrect.</em>

Answer:
Choice A) .
Step-by-step explanation:
What are the changes that would bring to
?
- Translate
to the left by
unit, and
- Stretch
. The choices of
listed here are related to
:
- Choice A)
;
- Choice B)
;
- Choice C)
;
- Choice D)
.
The expression in the braces (for example as in
) is the independent variable.
To shift a function on a cartesian plane to the left by units, add
to its independent variable. Think about how
, which is to the left of
, will yield the same function value.
Conversely, to shift a function on a cartesian plane to the right by units, subtract
from its independent variable.
For example, is
unit to the left of
. Conversely,
is
unit to the right of
. The new function is to the left of
. Meaning that
should should add
to (rather than subtract
from) the independent variable of
. That rules out choice B) and D).
- Multiplying a function by a number that is greater than one will stretch its graph vertically.
- Multiplying a function by a number that is between zero and one will compress its graph vertically.
- Multiplying a function by a number that is between
and zero will flip its graph about the
-axis. Doing so will also compress the graph vertically.
- Multiplying a function by a number that is less than
The graph of is stretched vertically. However, similarly to the graph of this graph
, the graph of
increases as
increases. In other words, the graph of
isn't flipped about the
-axis.
should have been multiplied by a number that is greater than one. That rules out choice C) and D).
Overall, only choice A) meets the requirements.
Since the plot in the question also came with a couple of gridlines, see if the points 's that are on the graph of
fit into the expression
.
