Answer:

This is a geometric sequence since there is a common ratio between each term. In this case, multiplying the previous term in the sequence by

2

3

2

gives the next term. In other words,

The function ƒ(x) = (x − 1)^2 + 5 is not one-to-one. Find a portion of the domain where the function is one-to-one and find an i
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

f(x)=(x-1)^2+5 with domain x>1 and range y>5 has inverse g(x)=sqrt(x-5)+1 with domain x>5 and range y>1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is a parabola when graphed. It is in vertex form f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k where (h,k) is vertex and a tells us if it's reflected or not or if it's stretched. The thing we need to notice is the vertex because if we cut the graph with a vertical line here the curve will be one to one. So the vertex is (1,5). Let's restrict the domain so x >1.

* if x>1, then x-1>0.

* Also since the parabola opens up, then y>5.

So let's solve y=(x-1)^2+5 for x.

Subtract 5 on both sides:

y-5=(x-1)^2

Take square root of both sides:

Plus/minus sqrt(y-5)=x-1

We want x-1>0:

Sqrt(y-5)=x-1

Add 1 on both sides:

Sqrt(y-5)+1=x

Swap x and y:

Sqrt(x-5)+1=y

x>5

y>1

A machine packs at a constant rate of 2/3 of a box every 1/2 minuet. What’s is the number of boxes per minute that’s the machine
lions [1.4K]
For this case what we can do is the following rule of three:
 2/3 of a box ------> 1/2 minutes
 x of a box ---------> 1 minute
 Clearing x we have:
 x = (1 / (1/2)) * (2/3)
 Rewriting:
 x = 2 * (2/3)
 x = 4/3
 Answer:
 the number of boxes per minute that the machine packs is:
 x = 4/3

Mr. Thornton's class visited five freshwater lakes to learn more about the crocodiles and alligators living in them to class cou
Yuliya22 [10]

Given table is given below

The relationship between the number of crocodiles and the number of alligators is not proportional across all lakes. Only two of the lakes have crocodiles and alligators in the same proportion. Which two lakes are they?

lake A and lake B

lake B and lake C

lake A and lake E

lake C and lake D

Answer : lake A and lake E

Lake ---> Crocodiles ---> Alligators ---> Ratio

A ---> 4 ----> 5

B ---> 21 ---> 35

C ---> 3 ---> 9

D ---> 6 ---> 16

E ---> 24 ---> 30

The ratio of A is 4: 5

B is 21: 35 = 3 : 5

C is 3 : 9 = 1 : 3

D is 6 : 16 = 3 : 8

E is 24: 30 = 4 : 5

Lake A and E has the same ratio 4: 5
