A medical clinic is reducing the number of incoming patients by giving vaccines before flu season. During week 5 of flu season,
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

f(x) = -6x +120

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call y the number of patients treated each week

Let's call x the week number.

If the reduction in the number of patients each week is linear then the equation that models this situation will have the following form:

y = mx + b

Where m is the slope of the equation and b is the intercept with the x-axis.

If we know two points on the line then we can find the values of m and b.

We know that During week 5 of flu season, the clinic saw 90 patients, then we have the point:

(5, 90)

We know that In week 10 of flu season, the clinic saw 60 patients, then we have the point:

(10, 60).

Then we can find m and b using the followings formulas:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}   and b=y_1-mx_1

In this case: (x_1, y_1) = (5, 90) and (x_2, y_2) = (10, 60)

Then:

m=\frac{60-90}{10-5}

m=-6

And

b=90-(-6)(5)

b=120

Finally the function that shows the number of patients seen each week at the clinic is:

f(x) = -6x +120

Prove that 7 + 3 root 2 is not a rational number​
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let 7 + 3√2 be an rational number where

7+3√2 = a/b [ a and b are coprime and b is not equal to zero]

3√2= a/b-7

3√2 =( a-7b) /b

√2 = (a-7b) /3b .....(i)

Now ,from equation (i) ,we get that √2 is rational but we know that √2 is irrational. so actually 7 + 3√2 is irrational not rational. thus our assumption is wrong. The number is irrational.

Graph the line with slope <br> −3/4<br><br> passing through the point <br> , (3,3)
Nookie1986 [14]
Y = mx + b
slope(m) = -3/4
(3,3)....x = 3 and y = 3
now we sub and find b, the y int
3 = -3/4(3) + b
3 = -9/4 + b
3 + 9/4 = b
12/4 + 9/4 = b
21/4 = b.....or 5.25 for graphing purposes

so ur equation is : y = -3/4x + 21/4

ur y int = (0,21/4) or (0,5.25)

ur x int can be found by subbing in 0 for y and solving for x
y = -3/4x + 21/4
0 = -3/4x + 21/4
3/4x = 21/4
x = 21/4 * 4/3
x = 84/12 = 7.....so ur x int is (7,0)

so plot ur points (7,0) and (0,5.25)....now start at (0,5.25) and since the slope is -3/4, come down 3 spaces and go to the right 4 spaces, then down 3, and to the right 4 and u will eventually cross the x axis at (7,0)

Convert the rate 1000 fluid ounces per 2 hours to cups per minute
Ronch [10]
There are 8 ounces in a cup, so there are 125 cups in 1000 ounces.
1000 / 8 = 125
there are 60 minutes in an hour and 120 minutes in 2 hours
so 1000 ounces / 2 hours is
125 cups / 120 minutes
125 / 120 = 1.04 cups per minute

Check your work
multiply times 60 to get cups per hour
1.04 * 60 = 62.4 cups per hour
multiply times 8 to get ounces per hour
62.4 * 8 = 499.2
multiply times 2 to get ounces per 2 hours
499.2 * 2 = 998.4
the number is not quite 1000 due to rounding the 125 / 120 as it is closer to 1.041666666666667
