Answer:

hey you need to multiple the number behind the parentheses by the number into the parentheses, like 1.5×2x

the you put Xs on the left side of the = and the numbers on the right side

then you do the sentence and at the end you got the amount for x :)

A line with a negative slope is perpendicular to one of the lines shown. What is its slope? Use the graph shown below. The Slope

goblinko [34]

Answer:

The slope for the red line is decreasing and hence the slope must be negative. -1x or simply -x
The slope of the blue line is increasing and hence positive: 1/2x
The solution to the equation is the intercept (2,3)

1. A movie theater designs two bags to hold 96 cubic inches of popcorn. a. Find the height of each bag b. Which bag should the t

MrRissso [65]

I have attached a screenshot with the images of the two popcorn bags used by the theater.

Part (a):
Bag A:
Volume of bag = area of base * height
Volume of bag = length * width * height
We have:
volume = 96 in³
length = 3 in
width = 4 in
Therefore:
96 = 3 * 4 * height
96 = 12 * height
height of bag A = 8 in
Bag B:
Volume of bag = area of base * height
Volume of bag = length * width * height
We have:
volume = 96 in³
length = 4 in
width = 4 in
Therefore:
96 = 4 * 4 * height
96 = 16 * height
height of bag B = 6 in

Part (b):
To determine the amount of paper needed, we will need to calculate the surface of each bag. Excluding the top base, each bag will have 5 faces. Four side faces (each two opposite are equal) and the base.
Bag A:
Surface area = area of base + 2*area of front face + 2*area of side face
Surface area = (3*4) + 2(8*4) + 2(8*3)
Surface area = 12 + 64 + 48
Surface area of bag A = 124 in²
Bag B:
Surface area = area of base + 2*area of front face + 2*area of side face
Surface area = (4*4) + 2(6*4) + 2(6*4)
Surface area = 16 + 48 + 48
Surface area of bag B = 112 in²
From the above calculations, we can deduce that the theater should choose bag B in order to reduce the amount of paper needed.

Hope this helps :)

Graph the function defined by f(x) = (x+21)

Inga [223]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the parent function $y=|x|.$ The graph of this function is represented as red graph in attached diagram.

Now consider the function $y=|x+2|.$

Remind main translations of the graph of the function $y=f(x):$

$y=f(x-a)$ - translation a units to the right;
$y=f(x+a)$ - translation a units to the left;
$y=f(x)+a$ - translation a units up;
$y=f(x)-a$ - translation a units down.

In your case, the graph of the function $y=|x+2|$ is translated graph of the function $y=|x|$ 2 units to the left (blue graph). So, correct answer is option A.
