Answer:

Ok. So, I can't see the image. Buttttt, depending on how many cubic feet she wants. If she wanted 5.5 cubic feet of soil, she would buy 10 bags of soil. Each showing 1/2 of a cubic foot. Use your fingers to help saying, " Half, One, One and a half, two, two and a half...." So on and so forth.

Answer:

11 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

12. As you noted in problem 11, the volume needed to fill the three pots is 5.05 cubic feet. The number of bags needed is ...

(5.05 ft³)/(0.5 ft³/bag) = 10.1 bags

10 bags is not quite enough. Rylee should buy 11 bags of potting soil.

_____

Additional comment

As a practical matter, the difference between what Rylee needs and what is contained in 10 bags is about 1%. It would be very difficult to tell that 0.1 cubic foot is missing if Rylee simply used the contents of 10 bags. If Rylee purchases 11 bags, most (4/5) of the last bag will remain unused.

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Graphing:</h3>

we are given two functions

$\displaystyle \begin{cases}f(x) = - x + 5 \\ g(x) = {x}^{2} - 3x + 2\end{cases}$

where f(x) is a linear function and g(x) is a quadratic function

we want to figure out the solutions of the function

let's graph f(x):

the Black-table is attached

let's graph g(x):

the picture is attached

hence, the graph should be

the graph is attached

<h3>solutions stating:</h3>

so we need solution(s) which satisfy(ies) the both functions

in this case the solution (s) the x coordinate(s) where both functions intercept we get from the graph that both functions intercept at (-1,6) and (3,2)

hence,

x={-1,3}
