Answer:

The third choice, $x\leq -8$

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to do it is to substitute in the potential answers. I'll show you here.

Choice 1

$2(-2)+3\leq (-2)-5$

$-4+3\leq -2-5$

$-1\leq -7$

We can see that this is false, so the answer cannot be choice 1.

Choice 2

$2(2)+3\leq (2)-5$

$4+3\leq 2- 5$

$7\leq -3$

This is also false, so the answer cannot be choice 2.

Choice 3

$2(- 8)+ 3\leq (-8)-5$

$-16+3\leq -8-5$

$-13\leq -13$

This is true. Let's see if choice 4 works.

Choice 4

$2(8)+3\leq (8)-5$

$16+3\leq 8-5$

$19\leq 3$

This is not true. Therefore, 3 is correct.

Am eastern cotttentail rabbit and ferret weigh 7 lbs together. The ferret weighs 2 lbs more than the rabbit. Create a system of

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first equation is the weights of the rabbit and the ferret together which is

r + f = 7.

The second equation puts the weight of the ferret in terms of the rabbit. If the ferret's weight is 2 pounds more than the rabbit, then

f = r + 2 (the word "is" means equals). Since we know what f is equal to, we will sub it into the first equation and solve for r:

r + (r + 2) = 7 and

2r + 2 = 7 and

2r = 5 so

r = 2.5 pounds.

A rabbit weights 2.5 pounds and the ferret weights 7 - 2.5 which is 4.5 pounds.

Consider the following problem: A box with an open top is to be constructed from a square piece of cardboard, 3 ft wide, by cutt

sattari [20]

Answer:

b: See first attached photo

c: V = x²y

d and e: V = x(3 - 2x)²

f: 2 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

a: Sketch several boxes and calculate the volumes.

b: See first attached photo a diagram of this situation

The diagram is a square. We are cutting out squares from the corners. We don't know the size of the square yet. The side lengths were 3, but now they are 3 - 2x (since each corner has one side of the square, there are 2 sides of the cut out square on each side of the larger square)

c: The equation for volume is: V = x²y

The length and width of the box are the x values, the height would be the y value

d and e: It wants the equation for the volume for our situation. The base of the box is (3 - 2x)(3 - 2x) or (3 - 2x)². The height of the box is x, so the volume is

V = x(3 - 2x)²

f: Take the derivative, find the critical values, then plug that into x and solve for the volume. See second attached photo for the work for finding the x value that maximizes the box, and the third attached photo for the evaluation of the maximum volume...

If a person rolls a six-sided die and then draws a playing card and checks its color, describe the sample space of possible outc

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

S = {1B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6B, 1R, 2R, 3R, 4R, 5R, 6R}

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space is the set of all possible outcomes in the experiment of rolling a six-sided die and then drawing a playing card and checking its color.

There are 6 possible outcomes for the die roll and two for the color of the card, which yields a total of 12 possible outcomes. The sample space is:

S = {1B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6B, 1R, 2R, 3R, 4R, 5R, 6R}
