Step-by-step explanation:
See attachment for tables
Given
[tex]p = 3.25b[/tex]
Required
Which of the tables is more expensive than the given function
To answer this question, we simply determine the equation of each table and then compare the equation with [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex]
Table A:
Consider two corresponding points in the table, we have:
[tex](b_1,p_1) = (1,2.75)[/tex]
[tex](b_2,p_2) = (4,11)[/tex]
Determine the slope
[tex]m = \frac{p_2 - p_1}{b_2 - b_1}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{11 - 2.75}{4 - 1}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{8.25}{3}[/tex]
[tex]m = 2.75[/tex]
The equation is determined as follows:
[tex]p - p_1 = m(b-b_1)[/tex]
[tex]p - 2.75 = 2.75(b-1)[/tex]
[tex]p - 2.75 = 2.75b-2.75[/tex]
[tex]p = 2.75b[/tex]
Comparing this equation to [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex], we have that:
[tex]2.75 < 3.25[/tex]
Hence:
This equation is less expensive than [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex]
Table B:
Consider two corresponding points in the table, we have:
[tex](b_1,p_1) = (1.5,3.75)[/tex]
[tex](b_2,p_2) = (6,15)[/tex]
Determine the slope
[tex]m = \frac{p_2 - p_1}{b_2 - b_1}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{15 - 3.75}{6 - 1.5}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{11.25}{4.5}[/tex]
[tex]m = 2.5[/tex]
The equation is determined as follows:
[tex]p - p_1 = m(b-b_1)[/tex]
[tex]p - 3.75 = 2.5(b-1.5)[/tex]
[tex]p - 3.75 = 2.5b- 3.75[/tex]
[tex]p = 2.5b[/tex]
Comparing this equation to [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex], we have that:
[tex]2.5 < 3.25[/tex]
Hence:
This equation is also less expensive than [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex]
Table C:
Consider two corresponding points in the table, we have:
[tex](b_1,p_1) = (2,7)[/tex]
[tex](b_2,p_2) = (4,14)[/tex]
Determine the slope
[tex]m = \frac{p_2 - p_1}{b_2 - b_1}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{14 - 7}{4 - 2}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{7}{2}[/tex]
[tex]m = 3.5[/tex]
The equation is determined as follows:
[tex]p - p_1 = m(b-b_1)[/tex]
[tex]p - 7 = 3.5(b - 2)[/tex]
[tex]p - 7 = 3.5b - 7[/tex]
[tex]p = 3.5b[/tex]
Comparing this equation to [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex], we have that:
[tex]3.5 > 3.25[/tex]
Hence:
This equation is more expensive than [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex]
Table D:
Consider two corresponding points in the table, we have:
[tex](b_1,p_1) = (2.5,10)[/tex]
[tex](b_2,p_2) = (5,20)[/tex]
Determine the slope
[tex]m = \frac{p_2 - p_1}{b_2 - b_1}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{20 - 10}{5 - 2.5}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{10}{2.5}[/tex]
[tex]m = 4[/tex]
The equation is determined as follows:
[tex]p - p_1 = m(b-b_1)[/tex]
[tex]p - 10 = 4(b - 2.5)[/tex]
[tex]p - 10 = 4b - 10[/tex]
[tex]p = 4b[/tex]
Comparing this equation to [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex], we have that:
[tex]4 > 3.25[/tex]
Hence:
This equation is more expensive than [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex]
Table E:
Consider two corresponding points in the table, we have:
[tex](b_1,p_1) = (6, 22.5)[/tex]
[tex](b_2,p_2) = (12,45)[/tex]
Determine the slope
[tex]m = \frac{p_2 - p_1}{b_2 - b_1}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{45 - 22.5}{12 - 6}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{22.5}{6}[/tex]
[tex]m = 3.75[/tex]
The equation is determined as follows:
[tex]p - p_1 = m(b-b_1)[/tex]
[tex]p - 22.5 = 3.75(b - 6)[/tex]
[tex]p - 22.5 = 3.75b - 22.5[/tex]
[tex]p = 3.75b[/tex]
Comparing this equation to [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex], we have that:
[tex]3.75>3.25[/tex]
Hence:
This equation is more expensive than [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex]
Table F:
Consider two corresponding points in the table, we have:
[tex](b_1,p_1) = (7, 21)[/tex]
[tex](b_2,p_2) = (14,42)[/tex]
Determine the slope
[tex]m = \frac{p_2 - p_1}{b_2 - b_1}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{42 - 21}{14 - 7}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{21}{7}[/tex]
[tex]m = 3[/tex]
The equation is determined as follows:
[tex]p - p_1 = m(b-b_1)[/tex]
[tex]p -21 =3(b -7)[/tex]
[tex]p -21 =3b -21[/tex]
[tex]p = 3b[/tex]
Comparing this equation to [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex], we have that:
[tex]3 < 3.25[/tex]
Hence:
This equation is less expensive than [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex]

A scale drawing of a lake has a scale of 1 cm to 80 m. If the actual width was f the lake is 1,000 m, what is the width of the lake on the scale drawing?
Answers
Answer:
12,5 centimeters.
Step-by-step explanation:
We take the following proportion
[tex]\frac{1 cm}{80m} = \frac{x}{1000m}[/tex]
Which becomes:
[tex]1000 = 80x[/tex]
And then, we clear out the variable x:
[tex]\frac{1000}{80}=\frac{100}{8}=\frac{50}{4}=12,5[/tex]
And this means that the width of the lake on the scale drawing will be 12.5 cm.

Answers
Answer:
1. Putting x = 0.5, y = -1/10 gives 0.44
2. Putting x = -1, y = -3 gives 14
3. Putting x =3/4 , y = 2/5 gives 1.665
4. Putting x = 0, y = 2.5 gives - 11.25
5. Putting x = √2, y = √2 gives 17
6. Putting x = 2, y = -1 gives - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x2 + 2y2 + 5xy - 2y + 5x2 - 3y2
1. Putting x = 0.5, y = -1/10
-3(0.5)^2 + 2(-1/10)^2 + 5(-0.05) - 2(-1/10) + 5(0.5)^2 - 3(-1/10)^2
= -0.75 +0.02 - 0.25 +0.2 + 1.25- 0.03
= 0.44
2. Putting x = -1, y = -3
-3(-1)^2 + 2(-3)^2 + 5(3) - 2(-3) + 5(-1)^2 - 3(-3)^2
= -3 +18 +15+6+5-27
= 14
3. Putting x =3/4 , y = 2/5
-3(3/4)^2 + 2(2/5)^2 + 5(6/20) - 2(2/5) + 5(3/4)^2 - 3(2/5)^2
=- 27/16 +8/25 +30/20 -4/5 +45/16 - 12/25
= 18/16 - 24/25 + 30/20
= 18/16 - 96+150/100
= 18/16 +54/100
= 1800+ 864/1600
= 2664/1600
=1.665
4. Putting x = 0, y = 2.5
-3(0)^2 + 2(2.5)^2 + 5(0) - 2(2.5) + 5(0)^2 - 3(2.5)^2
= 12.5 - 5.0 - 18.75
= -11.25
5. Putting x = √2, y = √2
-3(√2)^2 + 2(√2)^2 + 5(√2.√2) - 2(√2) + 5(√2)^2 - 3(√2)^2
= -6 +4+10-4+19-6
= 17
6. Putting x = 2, y = -1
-3(2)^2 + 2(-1)^2 + 5(-2) - 2(-1) + 5(2)^2 - 3(-1)^2
= -12+2 -10 +2 +20 -3
= -1

Answer:
No, the administrator is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Total = 931[/tex]
[tex]Children = 423[/tex]
[tex]Adult = 408[/tex]
Solving (a): Is the administrator correct?
No, the administrator is wrong.
This is so because: when the number of children is subtracted from the total patient, the remaining number is not 408
Solving (b): Estimate the number of adults
By rounding up:
[tex]Adult = Total - Children[/tex]
Actual Figures
[tex]Adult = 931 - 423[/tex]
Round up
[tex]Adult = 900 - 400[/tex]

If a toy rocket is launched vertically upward from ground level with an initial velocity of 135 feet per second, then its height h after t seconds is given by the equation h(t) = -16t2 + 135t. How long will it take the rocket to return to the ground?
Answers
Answer:
The toy rocket will return to the ground at 8.44 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
The height h of the toy rocket launched vertically as a function of the time t is given by:
[tex]h(t)=-16t^2+135t[/tex]
The rocket will return to the ground when h=0:
[tex]-16t^2+135t=0[/tex]
Factoring:
[tex]t(-16t+135)=0[/tex]
There are two solutions:
t=0, t = 135/16 = 8.4375
The first solution corresponds to the moment the toy rocket was launched, the second is the time taken by the rocket to return to the ground.
The toy rocket will return to the ground at 8.44 seconds

Miamor wanted to make note cards by cutting pieces of paper in half.
Before starting she got seven more pieces to use. When she was done she
had 28 half pieces of paper. With how many full pieces did she start?
Answers
Answer: 14 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of pieces of paper she had at first be x.
Before starting she got seven more pieces to use. This can be written as:
= x + 7
When she was done she had 28 half pieces of paper. This can then be written as:
x + 7 = (28 × 1/2)
x + 7 = 14
x = 14 - 7
x = 7
Since x = 7, she started with:
= x + 7
= 7 + 7
= 14 pieces

Mark this and return
Answers
Answer:
The correct answer is:
Sydney should choose the median after dropping one test score.
Step-by-step explanation:
when scores are not dropped:
List of scores = 68%, 84%, 94%, 100%
Mean = (68 + 84 + 94 + 100) ÷ 4 = 86.5%
Median = 68 84 94 100
Median = (84 + 94) ÷ 2 = 89%
Although there are no outliers because Sydney was given the option to drop a test score, dropping the lowest score will increase his overall chances of making a higher score. Therefore, 68% will be dropped.
List of scores when the lowest score is dropped = 94%, 84%, 100%
Mean: (84 + 94 + 100) ÷ 3 = 92.7%
Median: 84, 94, 100
Median = 94% (middle term)
From the four possible scores, the highest score is 94%, and it is gotten by finding the median after dropping a score
