Express 5% as a decimal

This question is asking what the value of g(5) is please answer and explain this cause don’t understand functions at all!!

Short Answer: g(x) = -3x This is a teaching question.
Remark
Define and describe f(x)
f(x) is read as y is dependent of x. The notation of f(x) with some exceptions is the same thing as y. What it stands for and what it can be used for is to tell you want value x can have if you want a specific value for x.

Suppose you are given
y = x + 2

Then suppose there is another statement above it
Let x = 5
y = x + 2
y = 5 + 2
y = 7

Instead of writing the top statement
Let x = 5
You use the shorthand
f(5) = x + 2
f(5) = 5 + 2
f(5) = 7.

So what does all this come down to. It is just a short way of writing Let x = ?
f(?) is what x will equal. x will become ?.

Your Question.
Remember that f(x) tells you what x becomes
f(5) means that x = 5.
Is that more than 4 or is that less than 4? It's a serious question.
Of course 5 is greater than 4. So that means that g(x) = - 3x. You don't have to do anything. Just read it.

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Part a) The variables are

x (the number of packages of Twinkies that were sold)

y (the number o boxes of juice that were sold)

Part b) The system of equations is

$x+y=79$ and $1.65x+1.36y=118.17$

Part c) $x=37,y=42$

Part d) The value of y represent the number of boxes of juice that were sold $y=42\ boxes\ of\ juice$

The value of x represent the number of packages of Twinkies that were sold $x=37\ packages\ of\ Twinkies$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Define the variables in this situation

Let

x-----> the number of packages of Twinkies that were sold

y----> the number of boxes of juice that were sold

Part b) Write a system of equations that model the problem

we know that

$x+y=79$ ------> equation A

$1.65x+1.36y=118.17$ ---> equation B

Part c) Use the linear combination method to find the solution to the system you wrote in part b

Multiply equation A by -1.65

$-1.65(x+y)=-1.65*79$

$-1.65x-1.65y=-130.35$ ------> equation C

Adds equation C and equation B

$-1.65x-1.65y=-130.35\\1.65x+1.36y=118.17\\---------\\-1.65y+1.36y=-130.35+118.17\\-0.29y=-12.18\\y=42$

Find the value of x

$x+y=79$

$x+42=79$

$x=79-42=37$

Part d) Using a complete sentence, explain what the solution found in part c represents

The value of y represent the number of boxes of juice that were sold

so

$y=42\ boxes\ of\ juice$

The value of x represent the number of packages of Twinkies that were sold

so

$x=37\ packages\ of\ Twinkies$

Select the correct answer. In which of the scenarios can you reverse the dependent and independent variables while keeping the i

SashulF [63]

Answer:

In Option A, we can see that the reverse may not be true as the increase in the risk for lung cancer may not necessarily mean an increase in cigarette smoked in a day. For example, high risk of lung cancer may be due to high exposure to asbestos dust too.

In Option B, again we can see that the reverse may not be true as an increase in the height of an infant does not necessarily mean that the age of the infant is increasing too. For example the infant may have a rapid gain in height even if the age is not increasing as rapidly.

In Option C, too, that an increase in the amount of pollution in a city does necessarily mean that the number of vehicles in the city has increased. For example, this increase in pollution may be due to the establishment of a high pollution causing industry in the city or in it's vicinity.

Likewise, in Option D, an increase in the density of water does not necessarily mean that the concentration of salt in the water has increased.

Only in Option E do we see a possible reverse dependence happening because an increase in the phone bill amount does usually mean an increase in the number of calls made by the cell phone.

So, in the given list of Options only in Option E can we reverse the dependent and independent variables while keeping the interpretation of the slope meaningful.
