Does This Graph Show A Function? Explain How You Know. A. Yes; The Graph Passes The Vertical Line Test.

Answers

Answer 1

The graph doesn't show a function as C. No; the graph fails the vertical line test.

What is a graph?

It should be noted that a graph is the diagrammatic representation of data.

In this case, the graph doesn't show a function as the graph fails the vertical line test.

The vertical line test is a visual way that's uses to determine if the curve is a graph of the function.

32 less than 3/7 of a number is 11/35 of that number. Find the number.

Answers

Answer is x=280
Step by step
We know 32 less than is subtraction -32
We know 3/7 of a number is 3/7x
We know “is” is equal =
We know 11/35 of a number is 11/35x
So
3/7x - 32= 11/35x

Now solve by first by combining like terms
Change the denominator of 3/7 to match the other fraction so we can combine. 7x5=35 so we do the same to the numerator, 3x5.
3. 15
____. _____
7. 35

3/7x -32 = 11/35x
15/35x - 32 = 11/35x
Subtract 15/35x from both sides to combine like terms
-32 = -4/35x
Now divide both sides by -4/35 to solve for x
To divide a fraction flip it and multiply
( -35/4 )(-32)
X= 280

You can check your work by substituting your number for x into your equation

3/7 (280) -32 = 11/35 (280)
120 - 32 = 88
88 = 88

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a number" be x.

"3/7 of a number" means (3/7)x

"32 less" means - 32

Thus, "32 less than 3/7 of a number" means (3/7)x -32

"is 11/35 of that number" means = (11/35)x

Put these together and we get:

(3/7)x -32 = (11/35)x

(3/7)x - (11/35)x = 32   Rearrang to get the x on one side

We need to change "(3/7)x - (11/35)" so that the two terms have a common denominator.

If we multiply the first term by (5/5) [which is equal to 1], we get:  

(5/5)(3/7)x or

(15/35)x

We can now write:

(15/35)x - (11/35)x = 32

(4/35)x = 32

Multiply both sides by (35/4)

(35/4)(4/35)x = (35/4)(32)

x = (35)(8)

x = 280

Given:

What is x

Answers

The value of x from the given equation is 5/3

How to determine the value

Since the three points are collinear to U, they are on a straight line which equals 0

Then we have,

UM + UD =  MD

5x+30 + 10x+20 = 3x+80

Collect like terms

5x + 10x + 50 = 3x + 80

15x - 3x = 80 - 50

12x = 30

x = 30/12 = 15/6 = 5/3

How many hours will Jorge get to take time off?

It is given that, Jorge has done overtime for 6 hours in this week. As per the Fair Labor Standards Act, for 6 hours of overtime work, he must be paid one and a half times the pay he gets per hour.

Instead of receiving an overtime pay for working 6 hours extra, Jorge decides to receive paid leaves from work, that is, he will get one and a half of the total hours for which he worked overtime.

As a result, the time off he receives from work = [tex]1\frac{1}{2} (6)[/tex] hours

A pencil cost $1.20 and a pen cost $2.90. Jasmiah bought an equal number of such pencils and pens. She spent $32.30 more on the pens than on the pencils. How many pencils and pens did she buy altogether?

Answers

Answer:

38

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of pencils bought.

Let y be the number of pens bought.

Given information from the question:

x = y - equation 1

2.9y - 1.2x = 32.30 - equation 2

From here we can use the substitution method in solving simultaneous equations to find x and y. We will substitute equation 1 into equation 2.

2.9y - 1.2y = 32.30

1.7y = 32.30

y = [tex]\frac{32.3}{1.7} \\= 19[/tex]

( 8 - y)y = 15
8y - y^2 = 15
y^2 - 8y + 15 = 0
y^2 - 3y - 5y + 15 = 0
y(y - 3) - 5( y - 3) = 0
(y - 3) (y - 5) = 0
y = 3 & x = 5
Thus, the two numbers are 3 and 5.

Answer:

The 2 numbers are 3 and 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 8

1/x + 1/y = 8/15

From first equation  y = 8 - x so

1/x + 1 / (8-x) = 8/15

Multiply through by the LCM 15x(8-x):-

15(8 - x) + 15x =  8x(8-x)

120 - 15x + 15x = 64x - 8x^2

8x^2 - 64x + 120 = 0

x^2 - 8x + 15 = 0

(x - 3)(x - 5) = 0

x = 3 or  5

so y = 8-3 = 5 or 3.

2. Given the equation of a line, y = 1/5x, the slope is:

Answers

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form looks like [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where b is the y-intercept and m is the slope. m is the slope because if you increase x by 1, the value y increases by m, and if you increase x by 1 again, the y-value will increase by the value of m, because it's being multiplied. b is the y-intercept since the y-intercept is when x=0 so mx will become m(0) which is just 0 leaving b by it self. In this case you have y=1/5x so if you were to start with 0 as x the value of y is 0. Now increase it by 1 so x becomes 1, the value of y becomes 1/5x, now increase it by 1 again so x becomes 2, the value of y is 2/5x, so as you can see the function is just increasing by 1/5 so that's the slope, so essentially whatever the coefficient of x is (the number in front of the variable x), is the slope
