8 0

Answer:

20 fish.

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert ratio to fraction:

There were 5 / (5 + 2) = 5/7 of fish.

So number of fish = 5/7 * 28

= 20.

Which is the graph of g(x) = ⌈x + 3⌉?

77julia77 [94]

ANSWER

$\boxed {D}$

EXPLANATION

The given function is,

$g(x) = ⌈x + 3⌉$

The parent function of this ceiling function is

$g(x) = ⌈x ⌉$

When this function is shifted horizontally 3 units to the left, we obtain the transformed function,

$g(x) = ⌈x + 3⌉$

The correct answer is option D.

Tell whether each graph is a function and justify your answer. Which graph is not a good representation of a real-world situati

mina [271]

Using the function concept, it is found that:

Graph B is a function because each value of x corresponds to exactly one y-value.

In a function, one value of the input can be related to only one value of the output.

In a graph, it means that for each value of x(horizontal axis), there can be only one respective value of y(vertical axis).

In this problem, at Graph A, when x = 5, for example a vertical line crosses the function 3 times, hence there are 3 respective values of y for x = 5, and the same is valid for other values of x, hence it is not a function.

At Graph B, for each value of x, there is only one value of y, hence it is a function.

Hence:

Graph B is a function because each value of x corresponds to exactly one y-value.
