Both are correct because .5 is ten percent of 5. And the increase is only a half of a percentage point.

The coordinate −6 has a weight of 3, and the<br> coordinate 2 has a weight of 1
Damm [24]

The weight average of the coordinates is -4

<h3>How to determine the weight average?</h3>

The complete question is given as:

The coordinate -6 has a weight of 3 and the coordinate 2 has a weight of 1. And we need to calculate the weight average

The given parameters are:

  • Coordinate -6 has a weight of 3
  • Coordinate 2 has a weight of 1.

The weight average is then calculated as:

Weight average = Sum of (Weigh * Coordinate)/Sum of Weights

So, we have:

Weight average = (-6 * 3 + 2 * 1)/(3 +1)

Evaluate the products

Weight average = (-18 + 2)/(3 +1)

Evaluate the sum

Weight average = -16/4

Evaluate the quotient

Weight average = -4

Hence, the weight average of the coordinates is -4

At 1:30 p.m., Tom leaves in his boat from a dock and heads south. He travels at a rate of 25 miles per hour. Ten minutes later,
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer: she would catch up with Tom in 1 hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the time it will take for Mary to catch up with Tom.

Tom leaves his boat from a dock and travels at a rate of 25 miles per hour.

Distance = speed × time

Distance travelled by Tom in t hours is

25 × t = 25t

Ten minutes later, Mary leaves the same dock in her speedboat and heads after Tom. Converting 10 minutes to hours, it becomes 10/60 hour

Time spent by Mary is (t - 10/60) hours. If she travels at a rate of 30 miles per hour, it means that the distance that she would travel in

(t - 10/60) hours is

30(t - 10/60)

= 30t - 5

By the time she catches up with Tom, they would have covered the same distance. It means that

25t = 30t - 5

30t - 25t = 5

5t = 5

t = 5/5 = 1 hour

Identify intervals on which the function is increasing, decreasing, or constant.
tigry1 [53]
G ( x ) = 2 - ( x - 7 )²
g ( x ) = 2 - ( x² - 14 x + 49 )
g ( x ) = 2 - x² + 14 x - 49
g ( x ) = - x² + 14 x - 47
The maximum of the function is at:
x= - b / 2 a
x = - 14 / ( - 2 ) = 7
Therefore the function is increasing form x ∈ ( - ∞, 7 ) and decreasing for x ∈ ( 7, +∞ ).
Answer:
C.   increasing, x < 7; decreasing x > 7.
