Answer:

The number of horses that can eat 4 stacks of hay in 8 days = 56 horses

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The time it takes 16 horses to eat 5 stacks = 35 days

Therefore;

The time it takes 16 horses to eat 5/5 stacks (1 stack) = 35 days/5 = 7 days

The time it takes 16 horses to eat 1 stack of hay = 7 days

The time it takes 16 horses/16 to eat 1 stack of hay = 7 days × 16 = 112 days

Therefore;

The time it takes 1 horse to eat 1 stack of hay = 112 days

The time it takes 1 horse to eat 4 × 1 stack of hay = 112 days × 4 = 448 days

The time it takes 1 horse to eat 4 stacks of hay = 448 days

Therefore, given that (448 days)/(8 days/horse) = 56 horse, we have;

The number of horses that will eat 4 stacks of hay in 8 days = 56 horses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain x^2 - 9 {Solution: - infinity < x < infinity}

Interval notation (- infinity, infinity)

Range of x^2 - 9 (Solution: f(x) is greater than or equal to - 9)

Interval notation (-9, infinity)

Axis interception points of x^2 - 9:

X- intercepts (3, 0) (-3, 0)

Y-intercepts (0, -9)

Vertex of x^2 - 9: Minimum (0, -9)

Solve for f:

f (x) = x^2 - 9

Step 1: Divide both sides by x.

fx / x = x^2 - 9 / x

f = x^2 - 9 / x

Answer:

f = x^2 - 9 / x

How do I find the value of x

IgorC [24]

Answer:

The value of x is 2.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Use pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2=c^2

Then substitute

1^2+2.4^2=c^2

Then evaluate

1+5.76=c^2

Add

c^2=6.76

Isolate c by finding the sqrt of 6.76

c=2.6

Ymorist [56]

The rigid transformations used for each figure:

Figure 5 - Reflection around x and y axes: (x, y) → (- x, - y)
Figure 6 - Horizontal and vertical translations: (x, y) → (x + 1, y - 2)

<h3>What transformation rules do create the resulting images?</h3>

In this question we must determine what kind of rigid transformations generates each image. Rigid transformations are transformations applied on geometric loci such that Euclidean distance is conserved. Now we proceed to determine the transformation rule for each case:

Figure 5 - Reflection around the x-axis followed by reflection around the y-axis.

(x, y) → (- x, - y)

Figure 6 - Translation one unit in the +x direction and two units in the -y direction.

(x, y) → (x + 1, y - 2)
