A
18.75%

B
81.25%

C
23.07%

D
16%

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

Laura has 160 pounds of green beans at her vegetable stand.

She sells 10 pounds of green beans every hour.

To find:

The percent decrease in green beans after 3 hours.

Solution:

We have,

Beans sold in 1 hour = 10 pounds

So, Beans sold in 3 hours = 30 pounds

Decrease in green beans after 3 hours is 30 pounds.

Now,

[tex]\%\text{Decrease}=\dfrac{\text{Decrease in green beans after 3 hours }}{\text{Initial amount of green beans}}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\%\text{Decrease in green beans after 3 hours}=\dfrac{30}{160}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\%\text{Decrease in green beans after 3 hours}=\dfrac{300}{16}[/tex]

[tex]\%\text{Decrease in green beans after 3 hours}=18.75\%[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is A.

What is the exact distance from (-5,1) to (3,0).

Answers

Answer:

The distance between the two points is [tex]\sqrt{65} \ \text{units}.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the distance between two coordinate pairs, we can use the distance formula:

[tex]\displaystyle \bullet \ \ \ d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

Our coordinate pairs need to be labeled accordingly, so we can use this naming system:

[tex]\bullet \ \ \ (x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2)[/tex]

This assigns a name to our points:

[tex]x_1 = -5[/tex][tex]y_1 = 1[/tex][tex]x_2 = 3[/tex][tex]y_2 = 0[/tex]

Therefore, we can plug these into the formula and solve:

[tex]d=\sqrt{(3-(-5))^2+(0-1)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{(8)^2+(-1)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{8^2+1^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{64+1}\\\\d=\sqrt{65}[/tex]

Therefore, the distance between the two points is [tex]\sqrt{65} \ \text{units}[/tex].

Check whether (x – 1) (x +2) = x + 3 is a quadratic equation or not.​

Answers

STEP 2: Move all terms containing x to the left side of the equation.

[tex]x^2-2=3[/tex]

STEP 3: Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation.

Answer:

  a) no

  b) yes

Step-by-step explanation:

a) You cannot draw the graph around x=0 without lifting your pencil. The function is not continuous at x=0.

__

b) You can draw the graph around x=1 without lifting your pencil. The function is continuous at x=1.

_____

Additional comment

In technical terms, the limit from the left at x=0 is 2; the limit from the right is 3. These are different, so the function is not continuous there.

On the other hand, the left and right limits at x=1 are the same (both 2), and are equal to the value of the function at that point (f(1)=2). Hence, the function is continuous at x=1.

Store Customers

A graph has hours open on the x-axis, and total customers on the y-axis. A trend line goes through points (1, 25) and (2, 50).

Based on the data collected, if the store has been open 7 hours, which scenario is most likely to be true?
After 1/2 hour, 1 customer had been in the store.
After 6 hours, 129 customers had been in the store.
After 7 hours, 175 customers had been in the store.

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of (-4, -5) and a directrix of y=3. Write the equation of the parabola in any form.

Answers

Answer:

The equation of the parabola is (x + 4)² = -16(y + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of the equation of the parabola is (x - h)²  = 4p(y - k), where

The vertex of the parabola is (h, k)The focus is (h, k + p)The directrix is at y = k - p  

∵ The focus at (-4, -5)

h = -4

∴ k + p = -5 ⇒ (1)

∵ The directrix at y = 3

∴ k - p = 3 ⇒ (2)

→ Add equations (1) and (2) to find k

∴ 2k = -2

→ Divide both sides by 2 to find k

k = -1

→ Substitute it in equation (1) to find p

∵  -1 + p = -5

→ Add both sides by 1

∴ -1 + 1 + p = -5 + 1

p = -4

→ Substitute the values of h, k, and p in the formula above

∵ (x - -4)² = 4(-4)(y - -1)

∴ (x + 4)² = -16(y + 1)

The equation of the parabola is (x + 4)² = -16(y + 1)

3x + y = 15 What is the solution of this system of equations? (5x+2y=-4​

Answers

Answer:

x=34    y=-87     (34,-87)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+y=15              rewrite to solve for y  ----->    y=15-3x

5x+2y=-4

Plug y=15-3x into 5x+2y=-4

So, 5x+2 (15-3x)=-4

Distribute: 5x+30-6x=-4

Combine like terms: 30-x=-4

Solve for x   -x=-34

Solve for x   x=34

Then, to solve for y, plug "x" into 3x+y=15

So, 3(34)+y=15

Distribute: 102+y=15

Solve for y  y=-87

We conclude that for 1/2 batch, Faird would require 3/8 cups of sugar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suger needed for a full batch = 3/4Given that Farid is making 1/2 of batch

We need to determine the expression for the amount of sugar Freed needs to make 1/2 batch.

Let 'x' be the batch and 'y' be the amount of sugar

Suger needed for a full batch = 3/4 cup of a sugar

so

x = 3/4y

But, Farid is making 1/2 of the batch.

Thus, multiply both sides by 1/2

[tex]x\times \frac{1}{2}\:=\:\frac{3}{4}y\times \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x}{2}=\frac{3y}{8}[/tex]

Therefore, we conclude that for 1/2 batch, Faird would require 3/8 cups of sugar.
