Answer:

50 kg water.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the number of kilograms of water in a human body varies directly as the mass of the body.

We know that two directly proportional quantities are in form y=kx, where y varies directly with x and k is constant of variation.

We are told that an 87​-kg person contains 58 kg of water. We can represent this information in an equation as:

58=k\cdot 87

Let us find the constant of variation as:

\frac{58}{87}=\frac{k\cdot 87}{87}

\frac{29*2}{29*3}=k

\frac{2}{3}=k

The equation y=\frac{2}{3}x represents the relation between water (y) in a human body with respect to mass of the body (x).

To find the amount of water in a 75-kg person, we will substitute x=75 in our given equation and solve for y.

y=\frac{2}{3}(75)

y=2(25)

y=50

Therefore, there are 50 kg of water in a 75​-kg person.

Hi, can someone help with these two questions ASAP! (Ignore the multiple choice I circled, not sure if it’s correct)
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

1) D. y = -\frac{3}{2}\cdot x^{12} -7\cdot x^{5}+\frac{2}{3}\cdot x -10

2) E. The coefficient of x is -16.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) A polynomial is an algebraic expression of the form p(x) = \Sigma \limits_{i = 0}^{n} c_{i}\cdot x^{i}, where n is the grade of the polynomial. In this case, the only equation that satisfies this definition is:

y = -\frac{3}{2}\cdot x^{12} -7\cdot x^{5}+\frac{2}{3}\cdot x -10

Correct answer: D

2) Let p(x) = (2\cdot x + 1) \cdot (5\cdot x^{3}-8\cdot x +4), we proceed to expand the expression by algebraic means:

p(x) = (2\cdot x + 1)\cdot (5\cdot x^{3}) -(2\cdot x +1)\cdot (8\cdot x) + 4\cdot (2\cdot x + 1)

p(x) = 10\cdot x^{4}+5\cdot x^{3}-16\cdot x^{2}+4

We see that coefficients for x^{2} and x are -16 and 0, respectively. Hence, the incorrect answer is E.

Answer the questions about the following function.
balandron [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The function ...

  f(x)=\dfrac{16x^{2}}{x^{4}+64}

can be evaluated for x=-2√2 to get ...

  \displaystylef(-2\sqrt{2})=\frac{16(-2\sqrt{2})^{2}}{(-2\sqrt{2})^4+64}=\frac{128}{64+64}=1

The point (-2√2, 1) is on the graph of f(x).

__

(b) Likewise, we can evaluate for x=2:

  f(2)=\dfrac{16\cdot 2^2}{2^4+64}=\dfrac{64}{80}=0.8

The point on the graph is (2, 0.8).

__

(c) From part (a), we know that f(-2√2) = 1. Since the function is even, this means that f(2√2) = 1. The graph is a maximum at those points, so there are no other values for which f(x) = 1.

The points (±2√2, 1) are on the graph.

__

(d) There are no values of x for which f(x) is undefined. The domain is all real numbers.

__

(e) The only x-intercept is at the origin, (0, 0). The x-axis is a horizontal asymptote.

__

(f) The only y-intercept is at the origin, (0, 0).
