A devastating freeze in California’s Central Valley in January 2007 wiped out approximately 75% of the state’s citrus crop. It t

The relationship between the percentage of frozen citrus crop, and the cost of box of oranges is an illustration of a linear function.

The linear equation of the function is: $g(P) =22.9P +7$ , while its inverse is: $g^{-1}(c) = \frac{c - 7}{22.9}$ .
The domain is from 0% to 100%, while the range is from 7 to 29.9

Given that:

$c = g(P)$

Input and Output quantity

The input quantity is the percentage of frozen citrus crop, while the output quantity is the cost of box of oranges

Linear Function

The given parameters can be written as:

$(P_1,c_1) = (20\%, 11.58)$

$(P_2,c_2) = (80\%, 25.32)$

Calculate the slope (m)

$m = \frac{c_2 - c_1}{P_2 - P_1}$

So, we have:

$m = \frac{25.32 - 11.58}{80\% - 20\%}$

$m = \frac{13.74}{60\%}$

$m = 22.9$

The equation is then calculated using:

$c =m(P - p_1) + c_1$

So, we have:

$c =22.9(P - 20\%) + 11.58$

$c =22.9P - 4.58 + 11.58$

$c =22.9P +7$

So, the function is:

$g(P) =22.9P +7$

The domain and the range

The domain is the possible input value (i.e. possible values of P).

Because P is a percentage, its possible values are 0% to 100%.

Hence, the domain of the function is: $[0\%,100\%]$

The range is the possible output value (i.e. possible values of c).

When P = 0% and 100%

$c = 22.9 \times 0\% + 7 = 7$

$c = 22.9 \times 100\% + 7 = 29.9$

Hence, the range of the function is: $[7,29.9]$

The meaning of $g^{-1}(12)$

$g^{-1}(12)$ is an inverse equation, where 12 represents the cost of box of oranges.

So, $g^{-1}(12)$ represents the percentage of frozen citrus crop, when the cost is $12.

The inverse formula

We have:

$c =22.9P +7$

Make P the subject

$22.9P = c - 7$

Divide by 22.9

$P = \frac{c - 7}{22.9}$

So, the inverse function is:

$g^{-1}(c) = \frac{c - 7}{22.9}$

This is used to calculate the percentage of frozen citrus crop, when the cost is known.

$g^{-1}(c) = \frac{c - 7}{22.9}$

Substitute 12 for c

$g^{-1}(12) = \frac{12 - 7}{22.9}$

$g^{-1}(12) = \frac{5}{22.9}$

$g^{-1}(12) = 22\%$

Serena has attached a 10 inch ribbon to the corners of a frame to hang it on the wall. The frame 9 inches wide. How far above th

kherson [118]

Answer: The hook would be 2.2 inches (approximately) above the top of the frame

Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the picture attached for further details.

The top of the picture frame has been given as 9 inches and a 10 inch ribbon has been attached in order to hang it on a wall. The ribbon at the point of being hung up would be divided into 5 inches on either side (as shown in the picture). The line from the tip/hook down to the frame would divide the length of the frame into two equal lengths, that is 4.5 inches on either side of the hook. This would effectively give us two similar right angled triangles with sides 5 inches, 4.5 inches and a third side yet unknown. That third side is the distance from the hook to the top of the frame. The distance is calculated by using the Pythagoras theorem which states as follows;

AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2

Where AC is the hypotenuse (longest side) and AB and BC are the other two sides

5^2 = 4.5^2 + BC^2

25 = 20.25 + BC^2

Subtract 20.25 from both sides of the equation

4.75 = BC^2

Add the square root sign to both sides of the equation

2.1794 = BC

Rounded up to the nearest tenth, the distance from the hook to the top of the frame will be 2.2 inches

Plot a point at the y-intercept of -2 or y = -2
--------------------------------------------------------------------
From there make a straight horizontal line
---------------------------------------------------------------
Then Shade the upper-half of that line one color This shaded part stands for
Y > -2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Shade the lower half a different color, this stands for y ≤ 6
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
That should be it!

natulia [17]

Answer:

< B = 180-30-65=85°

< E = 85°

< D = 30°

< C = 65°

BC = 20/35 × 28 = 16
