Answer:

a. The slope is 5/4

b. The equation in slope and intercept form is y = 5/4·x + 12

c. The base cost of making a fruit juice is $12

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that gives the cost in dollars of making your own fruit juice is given as follows;

y - 2 = 5/4·(x + 8)

a. The slope = The coefficient of x = 5/4

The slope = 5/4

b. The equation can be presented in slope and intercept form, y = m·x + c, as follows;

y - 2 = 5/4·(x + 8)

y = 5/4·x + 10 + 2

y = 5/4·x + 12

c. The base cost of making a fruit juice = The cost added to any quantity of fruit, x made = The y-intercept, c = 12

The base cost of making a fruit juice = $12.

Furkat [3]

Answer:

  186

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is given by ...

  (f • g)(3) = f(3) • g(3) = (3+3) • (12•3 -5) = (6)(31)

  (f • g)(3) = 186

Which graph shows the solution to the following inequality. -5c+2<27
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

c > -5

Step-by-step explanation:

-5c + 2 < 27    

      - 2    - 2         Subtract 2 from both sides

-5c < 25               Divide both sides by -5 and flip the sign

c > -5

I graphed the inequality on the graph below.

A team of three students are working on a language-learning app; they need to develop 300 micro-lessons and 300 micro-tests befo
Olegator [25]

Answer: a) 15 b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the number of days:

a)

For LESSONS:

Jordan does 10 / day ( 10*X)

Marco 5 / day ( 5*X)

Junyi 5 / day ( 5*X)

For TESTS:

Jordan does 5 / day ( 5*X)

Marco 10 / day ( 10*X)

Junyi 8 / day ( 8*X)

for each they need a total of 300

a) 10X+5X+5X=300 => 20X = 300 => X = 15 days for the lessons

b) 5X+10X+8X = 300 => 23X = 300 => X = 13.04 days for the tests

so they need 15 days to finish both tasks

now if Junyi gets sick we just eliminate his contribution

a) 10X+5X=300 => 15X = 300 => X = 20 days for the lessons

b) 5X+10X = 300 => 15X = 300 => X = 20 days for the tests

so in 20 days they will finish without him

If jordan works 10 hours a day, we just replace him with 10/24

a) 10(10/24)+5X+5X= 300 => X = 29.58 days for the lessons

b) 5(10/24)+10X+8X = 300 => X = 16.51 days for the tests

so at the end to complete both tasks they need 29.58 days

It is given 5 and h + 1 are the roots of the quadratic equation x² + (k - 1)x - 5 = 0,where h and k are constant.Find the value
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Hello,

<u>k=-3 and h=-2</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

5\ is\ a \ root \of \ x^2+(k-1)*x-5=0\\\\5^2+(k-1)*5-5=0\\\\5*(k-1)+20=0\\\\k-1=\dfrac{-20}{5} \\\\k=-4+1\\\\\boxed{k=-3}\\

h+1 is thus a root of x²+(-3-1)*x-5=0

x²-4x-5=0

x²+x-5x-5=0

x(x+1)-5(x+1)=0

(x+1)(x-5)=0

h+1=-1

<u>h=-2</u>
