Answer:

4 - pound bag of pears for $14.08

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out which is the better deal, we have to simplify it.

By dividing $14.08 by 4, this gives us the amount of $ each pound costs, which is $3.52.

Now let's find out the amount of $ each pound costs for the 94- ounce bag of pears for $22.56.

First, we need to convert from ounces (oz) to pounds (lbs).

There are 16 ounces in one pound, and we have 94 ounces. So, 94/16 = 5.875 pounds. So there are 5.875 lbs in the $22.56 bag. Now we need to find the amount of $ each pound costs. So we divide $22.56 by 5.875 and we get $3.84.

$3.52 < $3.84 (this is the amount of money each pound of pears cost for each bag). The first bag is cheaper per pound, so they should buy the first one (which is the 4 pound bag btw).

The graph of y=x^3 is transformed as shown in the graph below. With. Equation represents the transformed function

taurus [48]

Answer: y' = (-x)^3 - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph y = f(x) = x^3 passes trough the point (0,0)

because when x = 0

f(0) = y = 0^3 = 0

in the graph of the image, we can see that the graph intersects the y-axis in the point (0, -4)

This means that we have a vertical displacement of 4 units downwards.

When we have a graph y = f(x), a vertical translation of A units can be written as

y' = f(x) + A

If A is positive, the displacement is upwards, if A is negative, the displacement is downwards.

So if the displacement is of 4 units down, A = -4

We also have that when x is negative, the value of y is positive.

But in our original function, we have that for x = -1, y = (-1)^3 = -1

so in our original function, when x is negative also does y.

Then we also did a reflection around the y-axis, this means that we now evaluate the function in -x instead of x.

So the equation of the graph is:

y' = (-x)^3 - 4

A triangle has two angles that measure 18.6 degrees and 113.4 degrees respectively. what is the measure of the third angle?

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

$x = 48$

Step-by-step explanation:

$18.6 + 113.4 + x = 180$

$132 + x = 180$

$x = 180 - 132$

$x = 48$

Researchers recorded that a certain bacteria population declined from 800,000 to 500,000 in 6 hours after the administration of

kupik [55]

Answer:

We can assume that the decline in the population is an exponential decay.

An exponential decay can be written as:

P(t) = A*b^t

Where A is the initial population, b is the base and t is the variable, in this case, number of hours.

We know that: A = 800,000.

P(t) = 800,000*b^t

And we know that after 6 hours, the popuation was 500,000:

p(6h) = 500,000 = 800,000*b^6

then we have that:

b^6 = 500,000/800,000 = 5/8

b = (5/8)^(1/6) = 0.925

Then our equation is:

P(t) = 800,000*0.925^t

Now, the population after 24 hours will be:

P(24) = 800,000*0.925^24 = 123,166
