A school system is reducing the amount of dumpster loads of trash removed each week. In week 5, there were 60 dumpster loads of

waste removed. In week 10, there were 40 dumpster loads removed. Assume that the reduction in the amount of waste each week is linear. Write an equation in function form to show the amount of trash removed each week.
f(x) = −4x + 60
f(x) = 4x + 60
f(x) = −4x + 80
f(x) = 4x + 80

Answer:

f(x) = -4x + 80

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given two points,

(5, 60) and (10, 40)

in order to get the equation, let's use the form slope-intercept form

m = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)

m = (60 - 40) / (5 - 10)

m = 20/-5

m = -4

Get the x intercept

y = mx + b

60 = (-4)(5) + b

b = 60+20

b = 80

so the equation is

y = -4x + 80

f(x) = -4x + 80

Suppose an amount increases by 100%, then decreases by 100%. Find the final amount. Would the situation change if the original i
Anarel [89]
Well to solve this, lets plug in some numbers. Lets assume that for now, the starting number is 2. If it increases by 100%, bringing it up to 4, then decreases 100%, it is brought down to zero. Now one thing to note is that any number decrease by 100% is automatically zero. Watch, we start with two, it is then increased by 150%, bringing it up to 5, then decreased by 100%, bringing it back down to zero. In conclusion, 100% cannot be specified as a value, but rather a relation. 100% represents the entire number, meaning that if you are decreasing a number by 100%, you are basically subtracting the number by itself!

fgiga [73]

1 ounce = 28 grams (aprox)

1kg = 1000 grams.

1000 grams / 28 grams = 35.7142857143

You cant have 35.7142857143 patatoes and so we round this to 35 potateos.

= 35

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

2.5\ m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's Second Law: Force on a body is equal to the product of mass and acceleration of the centre of the mass of the body.

Force(F)=Mass(m)\times Acceleration(a)

Initially:

Let\ mass=m\ kg\\\\acceleration=10\ m/s^2\\\\Force(F)=m\times 10=10m

At the end of the road:

Let\ mass=4\times m\ kg\\\\acceleration=a\ m/s^2\\\\Force(F)=4m\times a=4ma

Both\ forces\ are\ equal\\\\4ma=10m\\\\divide\ both\ the\ sides\ by\ m\\\\4a=10\\\\a=\frac{10}{4}\\\\a=2.5\ m/s^2
