What is the answer to -4.3x + 12 + 15.1x = 33.6?

Marco has a jug with 37 1/2 ounces of juice. He wants to use some small cups to pass out samples of the juice. Each cup can hold

Neko [114]

37 1/2 divided by 2 1/2=15

Marco can fill 15 cups with juice samples.

Check:
2 1/2x15=37 1/2

A population of bees is decreasing. The population in a particular region this year is 1,250. After 1 year, it is estimated tha

8_murik_8 [283]

To model this situation, we are going to use the decay formula: $A=Pe^{rt}$
where
$A$ is the final pupolation
$P$ is the initial population
$e$ is the Euler's constant
$r$ is the decay rate
$t$ is the time in years

A. We know for our problem that the initial population is 1,250, so $P=1250$ ; we also know that after a year the population is 1000, so $A=1000$ and $t=1$ . Lets replace those values in our formula to find $r$ :
$A=Pe^{rt}$
$1000=1250e^{r}$
$e^{r}= \frac{1000}{1250}$
$e^{r}= \frac{4}{5}$
$ln(e^{r})=ln( \frac{4}{5} )$
$r=ln( \frac{4}{5} )$
$r=-02231$

Now that we have $r$ , we can write a function to model this scenario:
$A(t)=1250e^{-0.2231t}$ .

B. Here we are going to use a graphing utility to graph the function we derived in the previous point. Please check the attached image.

C.
- The function is decreasing
- The function doe snot have a x-intercept
- The function has a y-intercept at (0,1250)
- Since the function is decaying, it will have a maximum at t=0:
$A(0)=1250e^{(-0.2231)(0)$
$A_{0}=1250e^{0}$
$A_{0}=1250$
- Over the interval [0,10], the function will have a minimum at t=10:
$A(10)=1250e^{(-0.2231)(10)$
$A_{10}=134.28$

D. To find the rate of change of the function over the interval [0,10], we are going to use the formula: $m= \frac{A(0)-A(10)}{10-0}$
where
$m$ is the rate of change
$A(10)$ is the function evaluated at 10
$A(0)$ is the function evaluated at 0
We know from previous calculations that $A(10)=134.28$ and $A(0)=1250$ , so lets replace those values in our formula to find $m$ :
$m= \frac{134.28-1250}{10-0}$
$m= \frac{-1115.72}{10}$
$m=-111.572$
We can conclude that the rate of change of the function over the interval [0,10] is -111.572.

Which piecewise function is shown in the graph?

mash [69]

Based on the characteristics of linear and piecewise functions, the piecewise function $f(x) = \left \{ {{-0.5\cdot x +1, \,x < 0} \atop {2\cdot x - 2, \,x \ge 0}} \right.$ is shown in the graph attached herein. (Correct choice: A)

<h3>How to determine a piecewise function</h3>

In this question we have a graph formed by two different linear functions. Linear functions are polynomials with grade 1 and which are described by the following formula:

y = m · x + b (1)

Where:

x - Independent variable.
y - Dependent variable.
m - Slope
b - Intercept

By direct observation and by applying (1) we have the following piecewise function:

$f(x) = \left \{ {{-0.5\cdot x +1, \,x < 0} \atop {2\cdot x - 2, \,x \ge 0}} \right.$

Based on the characteristics of linear and piecewise functions, the piecewise function $f(x) = \left \{ {{-0.5\cdot x +1, \,x < 0} \atop {2\cdot x - 2, \,x \ge 0}} \right.$ is shown in the graph attached herein. (Correct choice: A)

Coach Ellis surveyed a sample of students about their favorite sport. The circle graph below shows

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

C. 120 students

Step-by-step explanation:

10 + 15 + 20 +30 = 75%

100 - 75 = 25%

25% chose football which is 100 students

30% chose swimming

setup proportion:

25/100 = 30/x

25x = 100(30)

25x = 3000

x = 120
