Gwen had an awful time camping! When she got home, she counted 5 mosquito bites on her legs for every 4 bites on her arms. Gwen had 3 more mosquito bites on her legs than on her arms. How many bites did she have on her legs and arms altogether?

Answers

Answer 1

Gwen had 27 bites altogether. She had 15 on her legs and 12 on her arm

How to solve an equation

An equation shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the mosquito bites on leg and y represent the bites on arms.  She counted 5 mosquito bites on her legs for every 4 bites on her arms, hence:

x/y = 5/4

4x = 5y

4x - 5y = 0     (1)

Also,  Gwen had 3 more mosquito bites on her legs than on her arms, hence:

x = y + 3    (2)

From both equations:

x = 15, y = 12

x + y = 15 + 12 = 27

Gwen had 27 bites altogether

If f(x) = |x| + 9 and g(x) = –6, which describes the range of (f + g)(x)? (f + g)(x) 3 for all values of x (f + g)(x) 3 for all values of x (f + g)(x) 6 for all values of x (f + g)(x) 6 for all values of x

Answers

Answer:

The range of values of [tex](f + g)(x) \ge 3[/tex] is for all values of x [tex]-\infty[/tex] to [tex]+\infty[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]f(x) = |x| + 9[/tex]

[tex]g(x) = -6[/tex]

Required

Describe the range of [tex](f+g)(x)[/tex]

First, calculate [tex](f+g)(x)[/tex]

[tex](f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)[/tex]

Substitute values for f(x) and g(x)

[tex](f+g)(x) = |x| + 9 -6[/tex]

Evaluate Like Terms

[tex](f+g)(x) = |x| + 3[/tex]

The above expression shows that [tex](f + g)(x) \ge 3[/tex]

Because [tex]|x| \ge 0[/tex]

Hence, the range of values of [tex](f + g)(x) \ge 3[/tex] is for all values of x [tex]-\infty[/tex] to [tex]+\infty[/tex]

Oliver expects that the number of visitors to a museum(y) is related to the daily rainfall in mm(x). He plots a scatter plot and determines the equation for the line of best fit: y=14.1x+62.0 What is the expected number of visitors when the daily rainfall is 20 mm? Give your answer to the nearest integer.

Answers

Answer:

344 visitors

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the relationship between the number of visitors to a museum(y) and the daily rainfall in mm(x) is defined as

y=14.1x+62.0

when the daily rainfall is 20 mm, the number of visitors

y = 14.1(20) + 62

= 282 + 62

= 344

It means that the expected number of visitors is 344 persons (to the nearest integer).

Suppose f(x) = x2 and g(x) = Which statement best compares the graph of g(x) with the graph of f(x)?​

Answers

Answer:

g(x) is horizontally stretched by a factor of 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]f(x) = x^2[/tex]

[tex]g(x) = (\frac{x}{5})^2[/tex]

Require

Determine the relationship between f(x) and g(x)

[tex]f(x) = x^2[/tex]

[tex]g(x) = (\frac{x}{5})^2[/tex]

Express g(x) in terms of f(x)

[tex]g(x)=f(\frac{x}{5})[/tex]

This can further be simplified as:

[tex]g(x)=f(\frac{1}{5}x)[/tex]

When a function is represented as:

[tex]g(x) = f(cx)[/tex]

Where c < 1,

Then the type of translation is a horizontal stretch (stretch in the x direction)

By comparison: [tex]g(x) = f(cx)[/tex] and [tex]g(x)=f(\frac{1}{5}x)[/tex]

[tex]c = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]

This means that: g(x) is horizontally stretched by a factor of 1/5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to figure which sides correspond and set up the proportions

Labeling the vertices of the triangles would help you.

I did that and found that 5x - 15 ↔ 10 since both of those sides are opposite the 42° angles and 36 ↔ 18

So [tex]\frac{5x - 15}{10} = \frac{36}{18\\}[/tex]

18(5x - 15) = 10(36)

What is the measure of ∠BCE, in degrees, in the figure shown?

Answers

Answer:

25 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

So a triangles angels equal 180 degrees

So for angel ECD 180 - (15+90) = 75

Straight lines also always equal to 180 degrees so

180 - (80+75) = 25

Measure of ∠BCE = 25° .

What is angle?

A figure which is formed by two rays or lines that shares a common endpoint is called an angle. The word “angle” is derived from the Latin word “angulus”, which means “corner”.

Given, In figure,

∠CED = 15°

∠EDC = 90°

∠BCA = 80°.

In triangle ECD

Sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180°

∠ECD +∠CED +∠EDC = 180°

∠ECD + 15° + 90° = 180°

∠ECD = 180° - 105°

∠ECD = 75°

Now,

∠BCA,∠BCE and∠ECD are at point C on line AD.

Sum of all angles made at one point of line is 180°.

∠BCA +∠BCE +∠ECD = 180°

80° + ∠BCE + 75° = 180°

∠BCE = 180° - 155°

∠BCE = 25°

Hence, 25° is measure of ∠BCE.

which figure is a translation of Figure A? explain. A translation, or slide, is a transformation that moves every point of a figure the same distance & the same direction. ​

Answers

Answer:

Figure B

Step-by-step explanation:

A translation does not "flip" the position of the pre-image. Figure C is a reflection of figure A.

A translation would "slide" the figure into a new position without mirroring nor rotating it.        

Figure B should be the translation of Figure A.

Hope this helps.

Figure B is the translation of figure A by 2 units up.

What is the transformation of the graph?

If a graph is translated and rotates by any amount either in x and y direction then it will be transfomation of the graph.

For example transformation of graph f(x) by 2 units down.

The new resultant graph could be only translated or rotated or both.

Given figure A

If we look at C then the face of this is towards the right but in figure A the face is towards the left.

So it means C will translate + rotation of graph A it will not be pure translation.

In figure B it is clear that it is a translation of figure A by 2 units upward.

Hence "Figure B is the translation of figure A by 2 units up".

a = 180° - 108°
