Answer:

Alfred ate 24 hot dogs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hot dog ate by Olafs be represented by b.

Since Olafs eats five fewer than triple the hot dogs Alfred eats, and Alfred ate a hot dogs. This can be expressed in a mathematical equation as follows;

b = 3a - 5

But Olafs eats 67 hot dogs, so that b = 67. Thus;

b = 3a - 5

67  = 3a - 5

67 + 5 = 3a

3a = 72

divide both sides by 3 to have;

a = \frac{72}{3}

a = 24

Alfred ate 24 hot dogs.

Determine the end behavior of P(x)=3x
ELEN [110]

Answer:

As x ⇒-∞, P(x) ⇒ -∞

As x ⇒ ∞, P(x) ⇒ ∞

Step-by-step explanation:

To find left hand end behavior, plug in negative infinity into the function and evaluate...

P(x) = 3(-∞) = -3(∞) = -∞

  The 'y' values of the function decrease towards negative infinity as the 'x' values approach negative infinity

P(x) = 3(∞) = ∞

  The 'y' values of the function increase towards positive infinity as the 'x' values approach positive infinity
