. A large tree, b, removes 1.5 kg of pollution from the air each year. A small tree, s, removes 0.04 kg of pollution each year.

An urban forest has 1,650 large and small trees. Together, these trees remove 1,818 kg of pollution each year. Which system of equations could be used to find the number of large and small trees in the forest?

Answer:

The system of equations are:

s + b = 1650.... Equation 1

0.04s + 1.5b = 1818........ Equation 2

The number of

Small trees = 450 trees

The number of Big trees = 1200 trees

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question

Small trees = s

Large trees = b

An urban forest has 1,650 large and small trees.

Hence,

s + b = 1650.... Equation 1

s = 1650 -b

A large tree, b, removes 1.5 kg of pollution from the air each year. A small tree, s, removes 0.04 kg of pollution each year. Together, these trees remove 1,818 kg of pollution each year.

Hence:

0.04s + 1.5b = 1818........ Equation 2

We substitute 1650 - b for s

0.04(1650 - b) + 1.5b = 1818

66 - 0.04b + 1.5b = 1818

- 0.04b + 1.5b = 1818 - 66

1.46b = 1752

b = 1752 ÷ 1.46

b = 1200 trees

Solving for x

1650 - b = s

s = 1650 - 1200

s = 450 trees

Is this graph a function or not a function?
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

It is a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can test if a graph is a function if you draw a vertical line anywhere on the graph and you see it hits two points.

This is the table for the graph.

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x&y\\-3&0\\0&1\\3&2\end{array}\right]

Remember these rules:

  • Each x value, or input, has its unique y value, or output
  • If you draw a vertical line anywhere on the graph, it should only go through one point

We can check these two rules for this graph:

  • Does each x value have its own, unique y value? Yes
  • If you draw a vertical line anywhere on the graph, does it only go through one point? Yes, there are no overlaps

Keep in mind that two different x-values can have the same y value.

Figure 1:

It has two x values with the same y-values.

Figure 2 and 3:

The vertical line goes through two points. So the same x-value has two different y-values.
