Hey there! I'm happy to help!
When building equations, the word "is" means "equals".
First, we have the sum of a number and six. You can use any letter to represent the number. I will use n.
(n+6)
We see that this is multiplied by 5. We can just put the 5 next to the parentheses. This shows multiplication.
5(n+6)
Is 48
5(n+6)=48
Have a wonderful day! :D

You have to create 3 functions to make hills on a grap
Requirements are in the photo.
(ignore graphs)
4. Write equations for three hills that do meet the requirements. Sketch them on one axis. (For the
purposes of this exercise, this is a sketch, so the steepness and minimums and maximums of the
graphs do not need to be exact). (6 points: 1 point for each equation, 1 point for each sketched curve)
Answer:
Hill 1: F(x) = -(x + 4)(x + 3)(x + 1)(x - 1)(x - 3)(x - 4)
Hill 2: F(x) = -(x + 4)(x + 3)(x + 1)(x - 1)(x - 3)(x - 4)
Hill 3: F(x) = 4(x - 2)(x + 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Hill 1
You must go up and down to make a peak, so your function must cross the x-axis six times. You need six zeros.
Also, the end behaviour must have F(x) ⟶ -∞ as x ⟶ -∞ and F(x) ⟶ -∞ as x⟶ ∞. You need a negative sign in front of the binomials.
One possibility is
F(x) = -(x + 4)(x + 3)(x + 1)(x - 1)(x - 3)(x - 4)
Hill 2
Multiplying the polynomial by -½ makes the slopes shallower. You must multiply by -2 to make them steeper. Of course, flipping the hills converts them into valleys.
Adding 3 to a function shifts it up three units. To shift it three units to the right, you must subtract 3 from each value of x.
The transformed function should be
F(x) = -2(x +1)(x)(x -2)(x -3)(x - 6)(x - 7)
Hill 3
To make a shallow parabola, you must divide it by a number. The factor should be ¼, not 4.
The zeroes of your picture run from -4 to +7.
One of the zeros of your parabola is +5 (2 less than 7).
Rather than put the other zero at ½, I would put it at (2 more than -4) to make the parabola cover the picture more evenly.
The function could be
F(x) = ¼(x - 2)(x + 5).
In the image below, Hill 1 is red, Hill 2 is blue, and Hill 3 is the shallow black parabola.

Answer:
[tex]\boxed{s=3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Use a proportion to solve for the missing side length - a/c = b/d.
AB = XYBC = YZ4/2 = 6/s cross-multiply
4s = 12 divide by 4
[tex]\boxed{s=3}[/tex]
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Because these triangles are similar, their sides exist in proportion to one another. Their angles are exactly the same. but their sides are proprtionate IF they are similar. We are told they are so setting up the proportion:
[tex]\frac{4}{2}=\frac{6}{s}[/tex] and cross multiply:
4s = 12 so
s = 3
You could also look at the fact that the height of the larger triangle is 4 and the height of the smaller is 2, so the larger is twice as big as the smaller; likewise, the smaller is half the size of the larger (that means the same thing). So if the larger side is 6, half of that is 3.

Answer:
x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
0.5 ( 5 - 7x ) = 8 - ( 4x + 6 )
- Distribute 0.5 by 5 and -7x
2.5 - 3.5x = 8 - ( 4x + 6 )
Second- Distribute the invisible one into 4x and 6
2.5 - 3.5x = 8 - 4x - 6
- Combine like terms: Subtract 6 from 8
2.5-3.5x= - 4x + 2
-Add 4x from both sides of the equation
2.5 + 0.5x = 2
-Subtract 2.5 from both sides of the equation
0.5x = 2- 2.5
0.5x = -0.5
-Then divide each side by 0.5x
0.5x = -0.5
0.5 0.5
-Cancel the common factor of 0.5
x = - 0.5
0.5
-Divide -0.5 by 0.5
X = -1
A certain forest covers an area of 2600 km^2. Suppose that each year this area decreases by 4.75%. What will the area be after 11 years? Use the calculator provided and round your answer to the nearest square kilometer.
Answer:
1522km^2
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, first convert the percentage to a decimal. That would be .0475.
Now subtract that from 1.0 to get the factor it decreases by. This would be 1-.0475 = .9525
Multiply 2600 x (.9525)^11 = 1522.258 which rounds to 1522 km^2
Answer:
The area will be 1292.98 km² after 11 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find what decreases by 4.57% each year in kilometers:
2600 × 4.57/100 = 26 × 4.57
= 118.82 km²
To find the area after 11 years:
118.82 × 11 = 1307.02
2600 - 1307.02 = 1292.98 km²
1292.98 km² is the answer.

Answer:
135 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a parallelogram is calculated as
A = bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )
To calculate h use Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle on the left
h² + 8² = 17²
h² + 64 = 289 ( subtract 64 from both sides )
h² = 225 ( take the square root of both sides )
h = [tex]\sqrt{225}[/tex] = 15 , thus
A = 9 × 15 = 135 units²

Please help what are the slope and the y intercept of the linear function that is represented by the table?
Answer:
The slope is -2, the y-intercept is 12
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] slope (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} [/tex]
Chose any two coordinates pair. Let's make use of:
[tex] (0, 12) = (x_1, y_1) [/tex]
[tex] (3, 6) = (x_2, y_2) [/tex]
Thus,
[tex] slope (m) = \frac{6 - 12}{3 - 0} [/tex]
[tex] slope (m) = \frac{-6}{3} [/tex]
[tex] slope (m) = -2 [/tex]
Using the slope-intercept equation, find the y-intercept, b, as follows:
[tex] y = mx + b [/tex]
Use any coordinate pair as x and y, then solve for b.
Let's use (3, 6)
[tex] 6 = (-2)(3) + b [/tex]
[tex] 6 = -6 + b [/tex]
Add 6 to both sides
[tex] 6 + 6 = - 6 + b + 6 [/tex]
[tex] 12 = b [/tex]
The slope (m) of the linear function that is represented by the table is -2, while the y-intercept (b), is 12.
Answer:
The slope is –2, and the y-intercept is 12.

A relative frequency table is made from data in a frequency table. Relative Frequency Table: A 4-column table with 3 rows. The first column has no label with entries likes S, T, total. The second column is labeled U with entries 26%, 21%, 47%. The third column is labeled V with entries 42%, k, 53%. The fourth column is labeled total with entries 68%, 32%, 100%. What is the value of k in the relative frequency table? Round the answer to the nearest percent.
Answer:
Hey There. ☆~<___`£《》£`____>~☆ The correct answer is: 33% okay if you don't understand this. Just tell me Okay. k=11 And, let me know if you don't understand how I got this. So, I'm gonna write it out
U V total
S 26 42 68
T 21 k 32
Total 47 53 100
So, you want to look at the column and row labeled total, this is the key. for the row total, it sums up everything in the column above it. so for the u column, the total value is 47 while the two values above it are 26 and 21. These two values sum to 47. This is the same for all other columns, and you can use the same reasoning with the total column as well summing rows.
This gives you two ways to solve for k. either 21 + k = 32 or 42 + k = 53. Either way gets you the answer k = 11
Hope It Helps!~ ♡

The number of patients treated at Dr. Jason's dentist office each day was recorded for seven days: 3, 8, 11, 22, 17, 5, 4. Using the given data, find the mean, median, and mode for this sample. A. mean: 10, median: 8, mode: none B. mean: none, median: 8, mode: 10 C. mean: 8, median: 10, mode: none D. mean: 14, median: 10, mode: 8
Answer: A. mean: 10, median: 8, mode: none
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The number of patients treated at Dr. Jason's dentist office each day was recorded for seven days: 3, 8, 11, 22, 17, 5, 4.
First we arrange it order.
3, 4, 5, 8, 11, 17, 22
Mean = (Sum of observations) ÷ (Number of observations)
Number of observations = 7
Sum of observations = 3+4+5+8+11+17+22 =70
Mean = 70 ÷7 = 10
Median = Middle-most value
= 8
Mode = Most repeatted value
= none
Hence, the mean, median, and mode for this sample = A. mean: 10, median: 8, mode: none
The equation of C is (x - 2)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 25. Of the points P(0,5), Q(2,2) R(5,-2), and S(6,6), which point is located outside the circle?
Answer:
( 6,6) is outside
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 2)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 25
This is of the form
(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
where ( h,k) is the center and r is the radius
(x - 2)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 5^2
The center is at ( 2,1) and the radius is 5
P(0,5), Q(2,2) R(5,-2), and S(6,6)
Adding the radius to the y coordinate gives us 6 so the only point with a y coordinate on the circle is ( 2,6)
( 6,6) is outside the circle

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We first need to figure out what the equation is for this set of circumstances before we can answer any questions. We will use the equation
[tex]A(t)=P(1+r)^t[/tex] which is just another form of an exponential equation where
(1 + r) is the growth rate, P is the initial investment, and t is the time in years. We will fill in the values we know first to create the equation:
[tex]A(t)=4000(1+.11)^t[/tex] which simplifies to
[tex]A(t)=4000(1.11)^t[/tex]
Now we'll just sub in a 1 for t and solve, then a 2 for t and solve.
When t = 1:
A(t) = 4000(1.11) so
A(t) = 4440
When t = 2:
[tex]A(t)=4000(1.11)^2[/tex] which simplifies to
A(t) = 4000(1.2321) so
A(t) = 4928.40
If a = 6, which of the following is equal to a^-2?
-36

1/6^2
6^2
Answer:
[tex]\frac{1}{6^{2} }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the rule of exponents
[tex]a^{-m}[/tex] ⇔ [tex]\frac{1}{a^{m} }[/tex]
Given a = 6, then
[tex]6^{-2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{6^{2} }[/tex]
The 3rd option is correct i.e. if a = 6, then by the property of exponentiation, we can conclude that a⁻² = 1/6².
What is exponentiation?Exponentiation is a mathematical operation that involves two numbers, the base b, and the exponent or power n, and is pronounced as "b raised to the power of n." It is written as bⁿ and is pronounced as "b raised to the power of n."
When n is a positive integer, bⁿ = b × b × b ×...× b (n times)
and b⁻ⁿ = 1/bⁿ ...(1)
When n = 0, bⁿ = 1
How to solve this problem?Given that a = 6 and n = 2.
Using (1), we get
a⁻² = 6⁻² = 1/6²
Therefore, the 3rd option is correct i.e. if a = 6, then by the property of exponentiation, we can conclude that a⁻² = 1/6².

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y=−14x−3 through the point (4,4). A. y=x+5 B. y=−14x+5 C. y=5x+1 D. y=5x−14
Answer:
None of the answers seem to be correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is of the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Here, m = -14
Two parallel lines have the same slope. So, the slope of the new line will be -14.
To calculate the y-intercept substitute x=4 and y=4 in the equation.
4 = (-14)(4) + b
Solving for b, we get b = 60.
So, the new equation will be y = -14x + 60
The equation of the line parallel to the given line is y =-14x+60, none of the given options is correct.
What is the equation of a straight line ?The equation of the straight line is given by y = mx +c , Where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept.
The equation of the line is y = -14x -3
The slope of the line parallel to this will be the same as the given line.
m = -14 for both the lines
The line equation parallel to the given line is
y = -14x +c
The line passes through the points (4,4)
4 = -14 * 4 + c
c = 60
y = -14x +60
Therefore, the equation of the line parallel to the given line is y =-14x+60.

A point is randomly chosen on a map of North America. Describe the probability of the point being in each location: North America: New York City: Europe:
Answer:
We know that the map is of North America:
The probabilities are:
1) North America:
As the map is a map of North America, you can point at any part of the map and you will be pointing at North America, so the probability is p = 1
or 100% in percentage form.
2) New York City.
Here we can think this as:
The map of North America is an extension of area, and New Yorck City has a given area.
As larger is the area of the city, more probable to being randomly choosen, so to find the exact probability we need to find the quotient between the area of New York City and the total area of North America:
New York City = 730km^2
North America = 24,709,000 km^2
So the probability of randomly pointing at New York City is:
P = ( 730km^2)/(24,709,000 km^2) = 3x10^-5 or 0.003%
3) Europe:
As this is a map of Noth America, you can not randomly point at Europe in it (Europe is other continent).
So the probaility is 0 or 0%.

The points $(-3,2)$ and $(-2,3)$ lie on a circle whose center is on the $x$-axis. What is the radius of the circle?
Answer:
[tex]radius = \sqrt{13}[/tex] or [tex]radius = 3.61[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Points:
A(-3,2) and B(-2,3)
Required
Determine the radius of the circle
First, we have to determine the center of the circle;
Since the circle has its center on the x axis; the coordinates of the center is;
[tex]Center = (x,0)[/tex]
Next is to determine the value of x through the formula of radius;
[tex]radius = \sqrt{(x_1 - x)^2 + (y_1 - y)^2} = \sqrt{(x_2 - x)^2 + (y_2 - y)^2}[/tex]
Considering the given points
[tex]A(x_1,y_1) = A(-3,2)[/tex]
[tex]B(x_2,y_2) = B(-2,3)[/tex]
[tex]Center(x,y) =Center (x,0)[/tex]
Substitute values for [tex]x,y,x_1,y_1,x_2,y_2[/tex] in the above formula
We have:
[tex]\sqrt{(-3 - x)^2 + (2 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{(-2 - x)^2 + (3 - 0)^2}[/tex]
Evaluate the brackets
[tex]\sqrt{(-(3 + x))^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{(-(2 + x))^2 + 3 ^2}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{(-(3 + x))^2 + 4} = \sqrt{(-(2 + x))^2 + 9}[/tex]
Eva;uate all squares
[tex]\sqrt{(-(3 + x))(-(3 + x)) + 4} = \sqrt{(-(2 + x))(-(2 + x)) + 9}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{(3 + x)(3 + x) + 4} = \sqrt{(2 + x)(2 + x) + 9}[/tex]
Take square of both sides
[tex](3 + x)(3 + x) + 4 = (2 + x)(2 + x) + 9[/tex]
Evaluate the brackets
[tex]3(3 + x) +x(3 + x) + 4 = 2(2 + x) +x(2 + x) + 9[/tex]
[tex]9 + 3x +3x + x^2 + 4 = 4 + 2x +2x + x^2 + 9[/tex]
[tex]9 + 6x + x^2 + 4 = 4 + 4x + x^2 + 9[/tex]
Collect Like Terms
[tex]6x -4x + x^2 -x^2 = 4 -4 + 9 - 9[/tex]
[tex]2x = 0[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2
[tex]x = 0[/tex]
This implies the the center of the circle is
[tex]Center = (x,0)[/tex]
Substitute 0 for x
[tex]Center = (0,0)[/tex]
Substitute 0 for x and y in any of the radius formula
[tex]radius = \sqrt{(x_1 - 0)^2 + (y_1 - 0)^2}[/tex]
[tex]radius = \sqrt{(x_1)^2 + (y_1)^2}[/tex]
Considering that we used x1 and y1;
In this case we have that; [tex]A(x_1,y_1) = A(-3,2)[/tex]
Substitute -3 for x1 and 2 for y1
[tex]radius = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + (2)^2}[/tex]
[tex]radius = \sqrt{13}[/tex]
[tex]radius = 3.61[/tex] ---Approximated
2x - 3y = -5
5x - 22 = -4y
Solve In Multiplication Method
Answer:
(2, 3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
2x - 3y = - 5 → (1)
5x + 4y = 22 → (2) [ rearranged equation ]
Multiplying (1) by 4 and (2) by 3 and adding will eliminate the term in y
8x - 12y = - 20 → (3)
15x + 12y = 66 → (4)
Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate y, that is
23x = 46 ( divide both sides by 23 )
x = 2
Substitute x = 2 in either of the 2 equations and evaluate for y
Substituting into (2)
5)2) + 4y = 22
10 + 4y = 22 ( subtract 10 from both sides )
4y = 12 ( divide both sides by 4 )
y = 3
Solution is (2, 3 )
The sum of Rhonda and her daughter Tenica’s age is 64. The difference in their ages is 28. How old is each person?
Answer:
The mother (Rhoda) is 46 years old.
The daughter (Tenica) is 18 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the age of the mother (Rhoda) be m
Let the age of the daughter (Tenica) be d.
The sum of Rhonda and her daughter Tenica’s age is 64. This can be written as:
m + d = 64 ... (1)
The difference in their ages is 28. This can be written as:
m – d = 28 ... (2)
From the above illustrations, the equation obtained are:
m + d = 64 ... (1)
m – d = 28 ... (2)
Solving by elimination method:
Add equation 1 and 2 together
. m + d = 64
+ m – d = 28
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
2m = 92
Divide both side by 2
m = 92/2
m = 46
Substitute the value of m into any of the equation to obtain the value of d. Here, we shall use equation 1
m + d = 64
m = 46
46 + d = 64
Collect like terms
d = 64 – 46
d = 18
Therefore, the mother (Rhoda) is 46 years old and the daughter (Tenica) is 18 years old.
