Answer:  Option 'c' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of ounces steaks = 4.5 oz

Number of guests = 180

Percentage of waste = 25%

Number of ounces of fresh steak is given by

4.5\times 180\\\\=810\ oz

Let the number of ounces of raw steak be x.

According to question,

\dfrac{100-25}{100}\times x=810\\\\\dfrac{75}{100}\times x=810\\\\0.75\times x=810\\\\x=\dfrac{810}{0.75}\\\\x=1080\ oz

As we need in pounds, and we know that

1 pound = 16 ounces

So, Number of pounds of raw steak that Chef could order is given by

\dfrac{1080}{16}=67.5\ lbs

Hence, Option 'c' is correct.

One side of a right triangle is 8 cm shorter than the hypotenuse and 7 cm shorter than the third side. Find the lengths of the s
Reptile [31]

Answer:

5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shorter side be a, longer side be b, hypotenuse be c

By Pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = c²

a² + (a + 7)² = (a + 8)²

a² + a² + 14a + 49 = a² + 16a + 64

a² - 2a - 15 = 0

a² + 3a - 5a - 15 = 0

a(a + 3) - 5(a + 3) = 0

(a + 3)(a - 5) = 0

a = -3 or a = 5

Because a is a side length and is a positive number

a = 5

Which of the function below could possibly have created this graph ?
lina2011 [118]

ANSWER

D.

f(x) =  -  {x}^{4}  +  {x}^{3}  + 3 {x}^{2}

EXPLANATION

The given graph rises on the left and falls on the right.

This implies that the degree of the function is even.

Since the graph opens downward, the coefficient of the leading term must be negative.

The graph graph of the function also has 3 intercepts with one of them having an even multiplicity.

This means that the degree must be 4.

Therefore the last choice is correct.
