A medical clinic is reducing the number of incoming patients by giving vaccines before flu season. During week 5 of flu season,

the clinic saw 85 patients. In week 10 of flu season, the clinic saw 65 patients. Assume the reduction in the number of patients each week is linear. Write an equation in function form to show the number of patients seen each week at the clinic.
f(x)=20x+85
f(x)=-20x+85
f(x)=4x+105
f(x)=-4x+105

Answer:

D.f(x) = −4x + 105

D.f(x) = −4x + 105

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the function in linear, we know it has a slope.

We know 2 points

(5,85) and (10,65) are 2 points on the line

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

  = (65-85)/(10-5)

   =-20/5

   =-4

We know a point and the slope, we can use point slope form to write the equation

y-y1 =m(x-x1)

y-85 = -4(x-5)

Distribute

y-85 = -4x+20

Add 85 to each side

y-85+85 = -4x+20+85

y = -4x+105

Changing this to function form

f(x) =-4x+105

The Graph of a function g is shown below. Find the following: g(10)
Yanka [14]

Answer: the graph is not shown, but I'll try to explain how hypothetically, you would be able to graph g(10). If you are given something like an image of the graph, find slope and y-intercept first. The y-intercept is the point (0, #), and is on the y-axis. After finding what g(x) = mx + b <- slope intercept form is, substitute 10 for x, then solve.

Michelle and matthew bake carrot cake at their bakery. For every 9 cups of shredded carrots they use, they use 6 cups of sugar.
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: 21 cups of shredded carrots.

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 9 cups of shredded carrots they use, they use 6 cups of sugar.

To use one cup of sugar therefore, the number of cups of shredded carrot is:

= 9/6

= 1.5 cups of shredded carrot

For every 1.5 cups of shredded carrot, a cup of sugar is used.

If they were to use 14 cups of sugar, they would therefore use:

= 14 * 1.5 cups of carrot

= 21 cups of shredded carrot

lesya692 [45]
The answer is 8884.37 times<span>

In many cases, B is approximately proportional to the three-quarters power of M:
</span>B= M^{3/4}
<span>
Elephant:
M1 = 4.6 mt = 4.6 * 1,000,000 g = 4,600,000 g

<span>
Mouse 
</span>M2 = 25 g
B2= 25^{3/4}=11.18

<span>determine how many times greater the metabolic rate of an elephant is than that of a mouse:
B1/B2 = </span>99327.24 / 11.18 = 8884.37 times
