Answer:

21.74 But if it tells you to round I would round to 21 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

its basically just a ratio of 92 to 20

92/20=4.6

92-20=72% the amount that is lost

so given that the plum is 100 lbs we know that 72% is depleted

(72/92 = .78)X100= 78 lbs depleted

Lastly 100-78 =22 for the remaining weight of the prunes.

Find the distance between the points of intersection of the graphs of the functions.
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Find the value of x and y in coordinate form, that'll be the point of intersection.

Question 1

{ \rm{y =  {x}^{2} - 3x + 4 }} \\ { \boxed{ \tt{but \: y = x + 1 \: }}} \\  \\ { \rm{(x + 1) =  {x}^{2} - 3x + 4 }} \\  \\ { \rm{ {x}^{2} - 4x + 3 = 0 }} \\  \\ { \rm{(x - 3)(x - 1) = 0}} \\  \\ { \boxed{ \rm{x_{1} = 3 \:  \: and \:  \: x _{2}  = 1}}} \\  \\ { \boxed{ \tt{remember \: y = x + 1}}} \\  \\ { \rm{y _{1} = 4 \:  \: and \:  \: y _{2}  = 2 }}

Therefore, points of intersection are two

Answer: <u> </u><u>(</u><u>3</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>4</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>and</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>1</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u>)</u>

Question 2:

Following the steps as in question 1

{ \rm{y =  {x}^{2}  - 4}} \\  \\{ \rm{2x - 4 =  {x}^{2}  - 4}} \\  \\ { \rm{ {x}^{2} = 2x }} \\  \\ { \boxed{ \rm{x = 2}}} \\ { \tt{remember : \: y = 2x - 4 }} \\ { \boxed{ \rm{y = 0}}}

Answer: <u>(2, 0)</u>

The fuel efficiency of one type of car is recorded in a scatterplot where the amount of gas used, x (in gallons), is paired with
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The y-intercept is 0, which represents the amount of gas used when 0 miles are traveled. The slope is 28, which represents the miles that can be traveled with 1 gallon of gas

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> the amount of gas used in gallons

y ---> the distance traveled in miles

we have

y=28x

This linear equation represent a direct variation

The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

For x=0, y=0

That means ----> The y-intercept is 0, which represents the amount of gas used when 0 miles are traveled

The slope is m=28\ \frac{miles}{gallon}

That means ----> The slope is 28, which represents the miles that can be traveled with 1 gallon of gas
