Answer:

The range of weights in the scale allowed to report in order to be compliant with local inspection agency regulations is between 14.925 pounds and 15.075 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weights should be within 0.5% of the actual weight measured.

15.0 pounds

0.005*15 = 0.075

Tolerance of 0.075 pounds

15 - 0.075 = 14.925 pounds

15 + 0.075 = 15.075 pounds

The range of weights in the scale allowed to report in order to be compliant with local inspection agency regulations is between 14.925 pounds and 15.075 pounds.

What is the value of the y-intercept of the graph of f(x) = e^1-x – 1?
ra1l [238]

Answer:

(0, e-1) or (0, 1.718) to the nearest thousandth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept occurs when x = 0 so here we have:

y = e^(1 - 0) - 1

= e - 1

So the y-intercept is the point (0, e-1)

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

  b(t) = 70,000 + 3000t . . . . . salary after t years; t∈{0,1,2,3,4,5,6}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let b(t) represent Benny's salary function with t being the number of completed years at the law firm, an integer. The function's domain includes only the first 6 years at the firm.

Since Benny gets the same raise each year, The function is linear. Its "y-intercept" is Benny's initial salary, and the rate of change is Benny's annual increase:

  b(t) = 70,000 + 3,000t . . . . salary in dollars after t years with the firm
