Problem 1
Answers:
It costs 1.72 dollars to send a letter that is 1.5 ounces
It costs 1.72 dollars to send a letter that is 2 ounces
In short, both answers are 1.72 dollars
--------------------------------
Explanation:
The piecewise function may seem really ugly and complicated, and I can understand why many don't like them, but they aren't too bad once you get used to it.
A piecewise function is simply a collection of many functions glued together. Instead of listing four different functions, your teacher has combined them all into one super function of sorts.
Here are the rules for this function
If [tex]0 < w \le 1[/tex], then F(w) = 1.15If [tex]1 < w \le 2[/tex], then F(w) = 1.72If [tex]2 < w \le 3[/tex], then F(w) = 2.29If [tex]3 < w \le 3.5[/tex], then F(w) = 2.86As you can see, the definition of F(w) will change depending on what w is.
If the weight is w = 1.5 ounces, then we're on the interval [tex]1 < w \le 2[/tex] since 1.5 is between 1 and 2. So we go for the second definition shown above and we conclude that it will cost $1.72 to send this 1.5 ounce letter.
If you wanted, you could rewrite those four bulleted points into this equivalent form
If [tex]0 < w \le 1[/tex], then the cost is $1.15 to send the letterIf [tex]1 < w \le 2[/tex], then the cost is $1.72 to send the letterIf [tex]2 < w \le 3[/tex], then the cost is $2.29 to send the letterIf [tex]2 < w \le 3.5[/tex], then the cost is $2.86 to send the letterwhich is a less mathematical way of stating it. It might also help to make it into a chart, which would help customers better who may not want to deal with math.
A letter that's 2 ounces will cost $1.72 as well since w = 2 makes [tex]1 < w \le 2[/tex] true.
In short, both the 1.5 ounce and 2 ounce letters cost $1.72 each.

Problem 2
Answer: The graph is shown below (attached image)
--------------------------------
Explanation:
We have what is called a step function, or a staircase function. Either name will work. The graph consists of the horizontal portion of the stairs, but the vertical parts of the stairs are not drawn (or else we wouldn't have a function due to the vertical line test).
Note the placement of the open and closed endpoints. An open endpoint excludes the value in question, while a closed endpoint includes the value.
For instance, we have an open endpoint at (1, 1.72) while there's a closed endpoint at (1, 1.15). Each closed endpoint is directly connected to the "or equal to" portion of the inequality sign, and each open endpoint does not have the "or equal to" portion.
As the graph shows, we basically have the a certain flat cost for the four different regions. This corresponds to the costs given in the piecewise function. Each height is drawn from the list {1.15, 1.72, 2.29, 2.86}
The point labels of A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H are optional. I only put them in there to help identify which endpoints are open or closed. Points on the left side of each segment, or horizontal stair component, are open endpoints. Points on the right side are closed endpoints.

An angle measures 10° more than the measure of its complementary angle. What is the
measure of each angle?
Answer:
50 and 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Complimentary angles must add up to equal 90 degrees. Therefore, you must find two numbers that add to 90 and have a difference of 10. Try different number values until this is true. One must be 50 and the other 40 degrees.

A circus acrobat is shot out of a cannon with an initial upward speed of 50 . The equation for the acrobat's pathway can be modeled by the equation h = - 16t ^ 2 + 50t + 4 .
a.Find the maximum height of the acrobat.
b.How long will it take to reach the ground?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
h = - 16t ^ 2 + 50t + 4
maximum height take the first derivative of h (calculus if you are taking it)
h' = -32t + 50 set this equal to zero
0 = -32t +50
t = 50/32
t = 1.5625 now plug t = 1.5625 into the height equation
h = - 16(1.5625) ^ 2 + 50(1.5623) + 4
h = 43.0625 ft
you can also find the maximum height by graphing the function and locating the peak value (much easier)
how long to reach the ground h = zero
0 = - 16(t) ^ 2 + 50(t) + 4
use the quadratic equation to solve this or graph the function h(t) and find the roots (much easier) and you will find that
t = -0.078 and 3.203 seconds
obviously the negative root makes no sense unless he time travelled so
t = 3.203 seconds

Two bonds are available on the market as follows: Bond 1: Face value $250, 5 years to maturity at a simple interest rate of 5%. Bond 2: Face value $350, 3 years to maturity at a simple interest rate of r. Given that both bonds yield the same interest at maturity, calculate r. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent. Do NOT round until you have calculated your final answer.
Answer:
5.95%
Step-by-step explanation:
Bond 1:
I = 250(.05)5
I = $62.50
Bond 2:
62.5 = 350(3)r
62.5 = 1050r

40 PTS ! The length of the rectangle is 2 ft more than its width. The area of the rectangle is 80 square feet. Find the width of the rectangle.
Answer:
The length of a rectangle is 2 feet more than it's width. How do you find the dimensions of the rectangle if its area is 63 square feet?
Step-by-step explanation:
x(x+2) = 63
x^2 + 2x = 63
x^2 + 2x - 63 = 0
Quadratic formula with numbers plugged in: (-2 +or- sqrt(4 - 4* 1 * -63))/2 becomes
-2 +or- sqrt(256)/2 so (-2 +or- 16)/2 therefore -18/2 or 14/2. Discard negative result.
x = 7. 63/7=9. Sides are 7ft and 9ft.
Answer:
8 ftStep-by-step explanation:
Given
The length l = w + 2The area lw = 80Substitute l and solve the following for w:
w(w + 2) = 80w² + 2w = 81w² + 2w + 1 = 81(w + 1)² = 9²w + 1 = 9w = 8The width is 8 ft

A large corporation sent out four groups of people to conduct observational studies on the average wait time at four different restaurants in its restaurant group. The restaurants have approximately the same ratings in terms of quality and popularity.
In their reports to the company board, each of the four groups described different methods used to conduct their studies, as shown in the table. Which group’s method will give the most accurate, unbiased results?
Answer:
It's midwest
Step-by-step explanation:
Midwest's groups will give the most accurate, unbiased results, and the correct option is B.
To solve this question, we analyze each sample, and find which of them will give the most accurate results.
Northeast: Only 3 hours a day, which can either have a very low or very high wait time, not being a correct representation, so there are bias factors.West Coast: One full day, which also can be a day with a lot of demand, leading to high wait time, or a day with low demand leading do low demand time, so there are also bias factors.South: Phone survey is not very accurate, people may not remember, for example.Midwest: Consider lots of periods over the course of the week, thus surveying both periods of low and of high demand, to get a good estimate for the average time, not having bias factors.Thus, the Midwest's groups will give the most accurate, unbiased results, and the correct option is B.

35ft by 55ft
40ft by 60ft
Answer:
15 ft by 35 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
15 + 15 + 35 +35
=100 ft
Answer:
Perimeter = 2 × (length + width) -------(1)
Let width be w
Given length is 20ft longer than width, L = 20 + w
substitute L and w in (1)
perimeter = 2× ( 20 + w + w)
100 = 2 ×(20 + 2w)
50 = 20 + 2w
30 = 2w
w= 15feet
L = 20 + w = 20 + 15 = 35feet
option 1) 15 ft by 35ft

1. Which point is a solution to this system of equations? 3х - у = 7 and 2x + 3y = 1
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(x, y) = (2, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing calculator can find a solution quickly. (see attached)
__
The first equation can give an expression for y:
y = 3x -7
We can substitute this into the second equation:
2x +3(3x -7) = 1
11x -21 = 1 . . . . . . simplify
11x = 22 . . . . . . . add 21
x = 2 . . . . . . . divide by 2
y = 3(2) -7 = -1 . . . . using our equation for y
The solution is (x, y) = (2, -1).
