Answer:

Germany - 90

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the options to this question

Germany 90

Sweden 78

Japan 63

Canada 75

The appropriate answer should be a multiple of 2, 3, 5, 6, and 9. That is when the number is divided by 2, 3, 5, 6, and 9 it should have a remainder of zero.

90 / 2 = 45

90 / 3 = 30

90 / 5 = 18

90 / 6 = 15

90 / 9 = 10

Thus, the appropriate number is 90

When 78 is divided by 5 and 9, the remainder is not zero

When 63 is divided by 2, 5 and 6, the remainder is not zero

When 75 is divided by 2, 3, 6 and 9, the remainder is not zero

Which equation represents an exponential function that passes through the point (2,80)

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The point (2,80) has the input value x = 2.

Substitute x = 2 into each function.

$f(x) = 5 (4^x)\\f(2) = 5(4^2)\\f(2) = 5 *16\\f(2) = 80$

A machine at a bottling company fills water bottles. the number of bottles filled is proportional to the amount of time the mach

Whitepunk [10]

In the table shown below:

Let N be the number of bottles filled,

Let T be the time in hours.

Given that the number of bottles filled is proportional to the amount of time the machine runs, we have

$\begin{gathered} N\propto T \\ \text{Introducing a proportionality constant, we have } \\ N\text{ = kT} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = }\frac{N}{T} \\ \end{gathered}$

Let's evaluate the value of k for each day.

Thus, on monday,

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = 9900} \\ T\text{ = 5.5} \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{9900}{5.5} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1800} \end{gathered}$

Tuesday:

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }11160 \\ T\text{ = }6.2 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{11160}{6.2} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1800} \end{gathered}$

Wednesday:

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }12330 \\ T\text{ = }6.25 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{12330}{6.25} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1972.8} \end{gathered}$

Thursday:

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }10440 \\ T\text{ = }5.80 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{10440}{5.8} \\ \Rightarrow k=1800 \end{gathered}$

It is observed that all exept wednesday have the same value of k.

Thus, the amount of time required for the number of bottles filled on wednesday is evaluated as

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }12330 \\ k\text{ = 1800} \\ T\text{ = ?} \\ \text{but} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{N}{T} \\ 1800\text{ = }\frac{12330}{T} \\ \Rightarrow T\text{ = }\frac{\text{12330}}{1800} \\ T\text{ = 6.85} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the incorrect day is Wednesday. The amount of time for that many bottles should be 6.85 hours.
