40=4x then 45=4.5x solving "x" as 1 in per 10 pounds.
Answer:
see the explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
we have the quadratic equation

This is a vertical parabola open downward
The vertex is a maximum
Find the x-intercepts of the quadratic equation
The x-intercepts are the values of x when the value of y is equal to zero
so
For y=0

Solve the quadratic equation
The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form
is equal to

in this problem we have
so

substitute in the formula





therefore
This parabola has two x-intercepts representing the times when the dolphin's height above water is zero feet
Answer:
3.4 kilograms
Step-by-step explanation:
When given a system of equations, the "solutions" are defined where two equations intersect, or meet.
A. The point where the lines p(x) and g(x) meet is (3, -1), and thus this is considered the solution set.
B. Because there are three lines in total, g(x) is able to intersect both lines one time, and so it has two pairs of solutions.
The first is (3, -1), which has already been established with p(x).
The second is (0, 5), and this is where it intersects with f(x).
C. The solution to f(x) = g(x) is 0, as this is the only x value where both equations are equal.
