Given f(x) and g(x) = f(x) + k, use the graph to determine the value of k. A) 2 B) 3 C) 4 D) 5 IF YOU ANSWER IN 5 MINUTES I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ans k = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Here g(x) =[tex]\frac{-1}{3}x + 1[/tex] and
f(x) = [tex]\frac{-1}{3} x -3[/tex]
Now, g(x) = f(x) + k
or, [tex]\frac{-1}{3}x + 1[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-1}{3} x -3 + k[/tex]
or, 1 + 3 = k
So, k = 4 Answer.
Jacob needs to know if the volume of a storage bin is under 3,000 cubic feet. The
dimensions of the bin are 17 ft. X 15 ft. x 10 ft.
a. Is the bin under 3,000 cubic ft.?
b. If yes, by how much?
Answer:
It is less than 3000 ft^3 by 450 ft^3
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of the bin
V = l*w*h
V = 17*15*10
V =2550 ft^3
If it less than 3000 ft^3
V = 3000- 2550 =450 ft^3
If is less by 450 ft^3
Answer:
Let’s first multiply all the numbers given
Since it wants the volume we need to use the formula
LxWxH
17x15x10=2,550
Part A: yes the bin is under 3,000
Part B: by 450 more because if you subtract 3,000 and 2,550 you will get 450
Hope this helps! :)
Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been studying the decay pattern of a new virus with a decay rate of 22% per hour. They start with 500 viruses that they want to check on in the next 8 hours. How many viruses will they find in 8 hours? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Answer:
They will find 69 viruses in 8 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of viruses after t hours is given by the following equation:
[tex]V(t) = V(0)(1-r)^{t}[/tex]
In which V(0) is the initial number of viruses and r is the decay rate, as a decimal.
They start with 500 viruses
This means that [tex]V(0) = 500[/tex]
Decay rate of 22% per hour.
This means that [tex]r = 0.22[/tex]
So
[tex]V(t) = V(0)(1-r)^{t}[/tex]
[tex]V(t) = 500(1-0.22)^{t}[/tex]
[tex]V(t) = 500(0.78)^{t}[/tex]
How many viruses will they find in 8 hours?
This is V(8).
[tex]V(t) = 500(0.78)^{t}[/tex]
[tex]V(8) = 500(0.78)^{8}[/tex]
[tex]V(8) = 68.51[/tex]
Rounding to the nearest whole number
They will find 69 viruses in 8 hours.
Answer:
The researchers will find 86 viruses.
Step-by-step explanation:
Identify the value of each variable in the formula. Be sure to put the percent in decimal form. Be sure the units match—the rate is per hour and the time is in hours.
A =?
A0 = 500
R= -0.22/hour
t= 8 hours
Substitute the values in the formula.
A= A0e^rt
A= 500e^-0.22x8
Compute the amount.
A ≈ 86.02
Round to the nearest whole number.
A ≈ 86
Which point satisfies the system of equations y = 3x − 2 and y = -2x + 3? PLEASE I NEED IT NOW
Answer:
(1,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 3x − 2
y = -2x + 3
the point that satisfies the system:
when the two functions are equal
3x-2=-2x+3
3x+2x=3+2
5x=5
x=5/5=1
when x=1
y=-2x+3
y=-2(1)+3
y=1
Answer:
(1,1) or x=1 and y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both equations are equal to y you can use substitution, replacing he y in y=3x-2 with -2x+3, giving you the equation -2x+3=3x-2. We can use this to solve for x. To isolate the variable you first need to add 2 to both sides, giving you -2x+5=3x, then add 2x to both sides. This gives you 5=5x, lastly you need to divide both sides by 5 to get x=1. Now you can plug x(1) into 1 of the 2 given equations to find y, I'll use y=3x-2. When x is plugged in as 1 you get the equation y=3(1)-2, after multiplying you get y=3-2, then you subtract to get y=1. In order to make sure this is the correct solution you can also plug in x as 1 and now y as 1 into the other equation, y=-2x+3. We can plug 1 in for x and solve for -2(1)+3 to get -2+3, or 1, so y is 1 for both equations, therefore the solution we got was correct, x=1 and y=1, or (1,1).

1. A quadratic function has 2 distinct roots. always sometimes never
2. A cubic function has at least 1 real root. always sometimes never
3. A function with a degree of 5 has 5 roots. always sometimes never
4. A quadratic function can have only 1 complex solution. always sometimes never
Answer:
1. Sometimes
2. Sometimes
3. Always
4. Sometimes
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Quadratic function : in which maximum power of [tex]x[/tex] is two.
The roots of quadratic function can be either equal or different.
For example:
[tex]x^{2} -2x+1[/tex] will have two equal roots i.e. 1 and 1.[tex]x^{2} -3x+2[/tex] will have two different roots i.e. 1 and 2.So, sometimes is the correct answer.
2. Cubic function has atleast 1 real root.
Cubic function has maximum power of [tex]x[/tex] as 3.
If the coefficients are real numbers then atleast 1 real root.
If the coefficients are imaginary in nature, then this is not true.
For example:
Cubic equation [tex]x^3 +i = 0[/tex] does not have any real root.
Cubic equation [tex]x^3 +1 = 0[/tex] has a real root x = -1.
So, it is sometimes true.
3. A function with degree 5 i.e. maximum power of [tex]x[/tex] as 5 will have 5 roots.
It is always true that a function will have number of roots equal to its degree.
4. Quadratic function can have only 1 complex solution.
Two complex solutions are also possible for a quadratic function.
For example:
[tex]x^{2} +1=0[/tex] will have two imaginary roots: [tex]x=i, -i[/tex]
It is also possible to have 1 complex solution,
For example:
[tex](x-1)(x-i) = 0[/tex] will have one complex root and one real root.
So, the statement is sometimes true.

Answer:
m<5 == m<1 since alternate interior angles are same value
m<3 == m<6 since alternate interior angles are same value
m<6 + m<5 + m<2 = m<1 + m<2 + m<3 = 180
Step-by-step explanation:
The use of alternate interior angles definition allows for you to make this completion. You can use this since you have a line intersecting a point on two parallel lines. From here, you know that the measures of the angles are the same as the measure of the line, thus you have proven the internal sum of angles to be 180 degrees.

A pharmacist wants to mix a 30% saline solution with a 10% saline solution to get 200 mL of a 12% saline solution. How much of each solution should she use
Answer:
30% constituents=20 mL
10% constituents=180 mL
Step-by-step explanation:
x= 30% volume
y=10% volume
For our first equation, we know the total volume is 200 mL and is the sum
x+y=200
y=200-x (1)
For our second equation, we do a mass balance for 200 mL of final solution.
12% w/v = 0.12 g/mL
This means that in 1 mL of solution, we have 0.12 g of NaCl.
For any solution, concentration multiplied by volume will give the mass of NaCl:
Mass in x mL= C*V (g/mL) (mL)
So in 200 mL, we have
0.12*200 (g/mL) (mL)
=24g of NaCl
Cx*Vx + Cy*Vy=24
0.3x+0.1y=24 (2)
Substitute y=200-x into (2)
0.3x+0.1(200-x)=24
0.3x+20-0.1x=24
0.2x=24-20
0.2x=4
Divide both sides by 0.2
0.2x/0.2=4/0.2
x=20
Substitute x=20 into (1)
y=200-x
y=200-20
y=180
30% constituents=20 mL
10% constituents=180 mL
The square below represents one whole.
Answer:
6 percent
Step-by-step explanation:
6/100 is shaded. This is the same thing as 0.06. Once I move the decimal two places to the right, I get 6. (I move the decimal place because percents are out of 100, so two decimal places.) This means 6 percent.
Taylor and Jeff have been selling frozen pizzas for a class fundraiser. Taylor has sold half as many
pizzas as Jeff. Together they have sold a total of 126 pizzas. How many pizzas did Taylor sell?
Answer:
Taylor sold 42 pizzas
Step-by-step explanation:
Make a system of equations where t represents the number of pizzas Taylor sold and j represents the number that Jeff sold:
t + j = 126
j = 2t
We can solve this system by substitution, since we can substitute 2t as j.
t + j = 126
t + 2t = 126
3t = 126
t = 42
Taylor sold 42 pizzas.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of pizzas that Tailor sold.
Let y represent the number of pizzas that Jeff sold.
Together they have sold a total of 126 pizzas. This means that
x + y = 126- - - - - - - - -1
Taylor has sold half as many
pizzas as Jeff. This means that
x = 1/2 × y = y/2
Substituting x = y/2 into equation 1, it becomes
y/2 + y = 126
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2, it becomes
y + 2y = 252
3y = 252
y = 252/3
y = 84
x = y/2 = 84/2
x = 42
Taylor sold 42 pizzas

Given the diagram below, what is cos(45*)?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer:
The answer is option B
Step-by-step explanation:
To find cos 45° we must first find the adjacent and the hypotenuse
Let the adjacent be x
Let the hypotenuse be h
To find the adjacent we use tan
tan ∅ = opposite / adjacent
From the question
the opposite is 9
So we have
tan 45 = 9 / x
x tan 45 = 9
but tan 45 = 1
x = 9
Since we have the adjacent we use Pythagoras theorem to find the hypotenuse
That's
h² = 9² + 9²
h² = 81 + 81
h² = 162
h = √162
h = 9√2
Now use the formula for cosine
cos∅ = adjacent / hypotenuse
The adjacent is 9
The hypotenuse is 9√2
So we have
cos 45 = 9/9√2
We have the final answer as
cos 45 = 1 / √2Hope this helps you
A population is increasing according to the exponential function defined by y = 3e^.04x, where y is in millions and x is the number of years. Which of the following should be done in order to answer the question "When will the population reach 4 million?"
A. Solve 3e^.04x=12
B. Evaluate y = 3e^.04x(4).
C. Evaluate y = 3e^.04x(1/4)
D. Solve 3e^.04x= 4.
Answer:
D. Solve 3e^0.04x= 4.Step-by-step explanation:
Given the population increasing according to the exponential function defined by y = 3e^0.04x, where y is in millions and x is the number of years, to determine when the population will reach 4 million, the following steps must be carried out.
Since y is in millions, we will first substitute y = 4 into the modeled equation as shown;
4 = 3e^0.04x
Therefore to calculate x, we need to solve the expression 3e^0.04x = 4 for the value of x and this is arrived at by simply substituting y = 4 into the given equation.
To get x;
3e^0.04x = 4
e^0.04x = 4/3
taking the ln of both sides
lne^0.04x = ln1.333
0.04x = 0.287
x = 0.287/0.04
x≈ 3.59 years

2) Estimating the distances singly on the basis of rounding off to the nearest 100.
i) 517Km ≈ 500Km to the nearest 100
ii) 837Km ≈ 800Km to the nearest 100
iii) 399Km ≈ 400Km to the nearest 100
iv) 2,088Km ≈ 2,100Km to the nearest 100
3) Summing all estimated distances.
500 + 800 + 400 + 2100
= 3,800Km.
NB: when a number is equal or above 50, you are to round it off as 100; when the number is below 50, you are to round off as zero (0).
There were females and males present at the high school pep rally. Find the ratio of males to the total number of people present. Express as a simplified ratio.
Answer: 4:9
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is provide in the attachment below.
Given, Number of females = 125
Number of males = 100
Total people = 120+100=225
Now, the ratio of males to the total number of people present = [tex]\dfrac{\text{Total number of males}}{\text{Total people}}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{100}{225}[/tex]
Divide numerator and denominator by 25 , we get
Ratio of males to the total number of people present =[tex]\dfrac{4}{9}[/tex]
Hence, the ratio of males to the total number of people present = 4:9

Answer:
a = 16
b = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of the design 16 inches is represented by the point (0, 16) and length of 12 inches by (1, 12).
That means these points lie on the graph of the function 'f' represented by,
f(x) = a(b)ˣ
For the point (0, 16),
f(0) = a(b)⁰
16 = a(1)
a = 16
For another point (1, 12),
f(1) = a(b)¹
12 = ab
12 = 16(b) [Since a = 16]
b = [tex]\frac{12}{16}[/tex]
b = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Therefore, values of a and b are 16 and [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] respectively.
