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

I need help with this problem
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

3.\ \dfrac{3x}{11x}, \dfrac{6}{22},  \dfrac{9}{33},\dfrac{12}{44}

4. -18\\5.\ 400

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Solution 3:</u>

Equivalent fractions to are to \frac{3}{11} be found out.

<u>Method: </u> By Multiplying both the denominator and numerator with the same number, we can easily find equivalent fractions.

1. Multiply with 2:

\dfrac{3 \times 2}{11 \times 2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{6}{22}

2. Multiply with 3:

\dfrac{3 \times 3}{11 \times 3}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{9}{33}

3. Multiply with 4:

\dfrac{3 \times 4}{11 \times 4}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{12}{44}

If we try to write in variable form, it can be written as:

\dfrac{3x}{11x}

where x is any number.

---------------

<u>Solution 4:</u>

(2x-10) when x=-4

2 \times (-4) -10\\\Rightarrow -8 -10\\\Rightarrow -18

------------

<u>Solution 5:</u>

(10a)^2, a=-2\\\Rightarrow \{10 \times (-2)\}^2\\\Rightarrow (-20)^2\\\Rightarrow 400

You prepare 10 scoops of dog food for 5 dogs, and prepare 16 scoops of dog food for 8 dogs. What
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

<em>12 scoops of dog food are needed for 6 dogs,</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

The number of scoops of dog foods and the number of dogs are proportional variables.

We are given that 10 scoops of dog foods are used for 5 dogs. This gives a proportion of 10/5=2 scoops per dog.

We also know that 16 scoops are used for 8 dogs. The proportion is also 16/8=2 scoops per dog.

Thus, the constant of proportionality is 2.

For 6 dogs, you need to prepare 2*6 = 12 scoops of dog food.

12 scoops of dog food are needed for 6 dogs,
