Pieter wrote and solved an equation that models the number of hours it takes to dig a well to a level of 72 feet below sea level

.
7h – 5(3h – 8) = –72
Which statement is true about Pieter’s solution?

It cannot be a fraction or decimal because the depth of the well is a whole number.
It must be a positive number since it represents a number of hours.
It must be a negative number because the depth is below sea level.
It cannot be greater than –72 because that is the depth of the well.

The greater of two consecutive EVEN numbers is 40 less than twice the smaller number. Find the larger number
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

<h3>           44</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

z -  some integer

2z - first given even integer (the smaller one)

2z+2 - even integer consecutive to 2z  (the larger one)

2(2z)    - twice the smaller number

2(2z) - 40    - the number 40 less than twice the smaller number

2(2z) - 40 = 2z + 2

4z - 40 = 2z + 2

2z = 42

 

2z+2 = 42+2 = 44

check:

2(2z)-40 = 2(42)-40 = 84-40 = 44

creativ13 [48]

Answer: [0, 396]

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is the acceptable values of x in the function.  In this case, x = t, the number of tiles.  If you think about it, the minimum number of tiles is 0 (you can't have a negative number of tiles), and the maximum number of tiles is 44 (you only have 44 tiles).  So, the domain for this function is from 0 to 44.

0 to 44 written in interval notation is [0,44].

The range is the acceptable values of y in the function.  In this case, y = A, the area given.  A(t) = 9t, so you can use the acceptable values of t to get the range.  Again, the minimum area is 0 because you can't have negative area. To find the maximum area, plug in the maximum number of tiles: 9.

A(t) = 9t

A = 9(44)

A = 396

With the maximum number of tiles, 44, the area you get is 396 cm².  Therefore, the acceptable values of A are from 0 to 396.

0 to 396 written in interval notation is [0, 396].
