we are given
f(x)=[x=1]
where bracket means ceiling functions
we know that
Ceiling function returns the least value of the integer that is greater than or equal to the specified number
so, we can check each options
option-A:
At x=-4:
f(x)=[-4-1] =-5
For x<-3:
Let's assume
x=-3.1
f(x)=[-3.1-1] =[-4.1]=-5
so, this interval is TRUE
option-B:
At x=-2:
f(x)=[-2-1] =-3
For x<-1:
Let's assume
x=-1.1
f(x)=[-1.1-1] =[-2.1]=-3
so, this is FALSE
Answer:
$9.87
Step-by-step explanation:
first, find the cost per pound:
$16.45: 5 pounds
divide both sides of the ratio by 5
$3.29: 1 pound
Then, multiply both sides by 3 to find the cost for 3 pounds
$9.87: 3 pounds
Answer:
8a+24b
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
10 Kids In Each Van.
Why?
You already know that 5 students will be in 1 car. That leaves 20 students that need to be assigned to vans. Divide 20 by 2 and you get 10!
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
First label the equations.
6x +3y= 18 -----(1)
y= -2x +5 -----(2)
subst. (2) into (1):
6x +3(-2x +5)= 18
6x +3(-2x) +3(5)= 18 (expand)
6x -6x +15= 18
15= 18 (simplify)
(reject)
There is no solution.
<u>Further explanation</u><u>:</u>
If I rewrite the first equation into the form of y=mx+c, I would get
6x +3y=18
3y= 18 -6x (bring y term to one side)
y= 6- 2x (÷3 throughout)
y= -2x +6
Notice that the gradients of both lines are equal ( -2). This implies that they are parallel to each other and will never meet. Hence there are no solutions.
