a wrestler is weighing in for their match this evening. their normal weight is 168 pounds, but that weight can vary by as much as 3.2 pounds. write an equation that models this situation and find their minimum and maximum weight.

Answers

Answer 1

Introduction

Wrestling is a wonderful activity with many advantages for the student-athlete. It is a sport that is highly

competitive, exciting and satisfying. It is a sport that provides for individual and team competition. It is -

and should be - fun. Unfortunately, the practice of losing weight by not eating, restricting fluid intake and

over-exercising reduces the sport's fun. This information is presented to help clear up misconceptions

regarding wrestling and weight loss. I also hope to give some guidance to those who desire to manage

their weight properly in preparation for and during the wrestling season.

History and Stigma

For too long, the wrestling community has unthinkingly accepted the myth that to be a good wrestler, you

must cut weight. The generally accepted thinking is something like this: if your natural weight is 135

pounds, you may be a good wrestler at 135 pounds. But if you wrestle at 130 pounds, you'll be a better

wrestler. And if you can make it down to 125, you'll be a state champion. No facts support that widely held

view, yet wrestlers and parents subscribe to that faulty reasoning. Looking further back, many remember

the days that losing excessive weight was a specific practice and expectation among wrestlers. It was

supposed to teach sacrifice, commitment, and the idea of “No Pain, No Gain.”

Regardless of the current attitude of the majority of the wrestling community, the stigma that an unhealthy

loss of weight is a requirement of wrestling among outside observers sticks. The Virginia High School

League has followed national guidelines to establish rules that encourage healthy weight management

among wrestlers.

Current Regulations

Preseason weight certification is accomplished with three steps. The first is determining each wrestler’s

body fat percentage using skin fold calipers. Next, the wrestler completes a hydration test, to insure

against a dehydrated weight measurement, and the wrestler weighs in. The third step is the calculation of

the wrestler’s minimum wrestling weight based on 7% body fat for males and 12% for females. The

wrestler may not wrestle at a weight class below his minimum weight during the season. The wrestler is

also restricted from losing more then 1.5% body weight loss per week (official weigh-ins at certification,

matches, and tournaments are used for this calculation). A one-pound per month growth allowance is

provided to allow for the natural growth of this age group. The VHSL advises, and we have instituted,

daily weigh-ins before and after practice to monitor weight-loss and dehydration.

Additionally, the National Federation of State High School Associations has adopted several other rules to

guide coaches and wrestlers while managing their weight. Wrestlers are discouraged from wrestling at a

weight class more then one weight class above their certified weight.

Answer 2
Final answer:

The equation that models the situation of a wrestler's varying weight is w = x +/- 3.2, with x representing the normal weight. The minimum weight is 164.8 pounds and the maximum weight is 171.2 pounds.

Explanation:

To write an equation that models the situation, we can use the variables x and w to represent the normal weight and the varying weight, respectively. The equation can be written as w = x +/- 3.2, where the +/- sign represents that the weight can vary by as much as 3.2 pounds. Given that the normal weight is 168 pounds, the minimum weight would be 168 - 3.2 = 164.8 pounds, and the maximum weight would be 168 + 3.2 = 171.2 pounds.

8 2/5 - 5 3/5 need help solving step by step

Answers

Answer: 2 and 4/5

Explanation: To subtract mixed numbers, first subtract the fractions. Notice here however that we have 2/5 - 3/5 which will give us a negative fraction. Since this will cause us a lot of trouble, instead, let's rewrite the first mixed number.

We can do this by thinking of 8 and 2/5 as 7 + 1 and 2/5 or 7 + 7/5 by changing 1 and 2/5 to the improper fraction 7/5. So 8 and 2/5 can be written as 7 and 7/5.

So we have 7 and 7/5 - 5 and 3/5.

Now, subtract the fractions. So we have 7/5 - 3/5 which is 4/5. Then subtract the whole numbers so we have 8 - 5 which is 2.

2 and 4/5 is in lowest terms so 8 and 2/5 - 5 and 3/5 is 2 and 4/5.

26.25 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Each headbands requires 1 7/8 feets fabric

Dedra has to  make 14 headbands .

Question asked:

how much fabric will she need  to make 14 headbands = ?

The volume, V, of gas varies inversely with the pressure, P, on it. If the volume is 320 cm^3 under pressure of 40 kg/cm^2, what pressure has to be applied to have a volume of 200 cm^3?



Fill in the blank:

Answer: _________ kg/cm^2

Answers

The pressure [tex]64kg/cm^{2}[/tex] has to be applied to have a volume of [tex]200cm^{3}[/tex]

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law, for a fixed amount of gas, the volume and pressure are inversely proportional.

[tex]P_{1} \cdot V_{1}=P_{2} \cdot V_{2}[/tex]

Substituting the values, we get,

[tex]40 \times 320=P_{2} \times 200[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 200,

[tex]\frac{40 \times 320}{200}=P_{2}[/tex]

Simplifying the terms, we get,

[tex]\begin{aligned}\frac{12800}{200} &=P_{2} \\64 &=P_{2}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Thus, the pressure [tex]64kg/cm^{2}[/tex] has to be applied to have a volume of [tex]200cm^{3}[/tex]

if angles of a triangle are 2 is to 3 is to 4 is to .find the value of each angle​

Answers

Answer:

Angles of triangle are 40°,60° and 80°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

if angles of a triangle are 2 is to 3 is to 4.

Let the common factor between the angles be 'x'.

So we can say that;

Angle 1 = [tex]2x[/tex]

Angle 2 = [tex]3x[/tex]

Angle 3 = [tex]4x[/tex]

We need to find the value of each angle.

Solution:

Now we know that;

"Sum of all angles of triangle is 180°."

framing in equation form we get;

[tex]Angle \ 1+Angle\ 2+Angle \ 3 =180[/tex]

Substituting the values we get;

[tex]2x+3x+4x=180\\\\9x=180[/tex]

Dividing both side by 9 we get;

[tex]\frac{9x}{9}=\frac{180}{9}\\\\x=20[/tex]

Angle 1 = [tex]2x=2\times20=40\°[/tex].

Angle 2 = [tex]3x=3\times20=60\°[/tex]

Angle 3 = [tex]4x=4\times20=80\°[/tex]

Hence Angles of triangle are 40°,60° and 80°.

Martha invested a principal amount of $15,000 into a savings account that earns simple interest at a rate of 4.5% per year. How much money will she earn in interest over 6 years?

A.

$4,050

B.

$1,500

C.

$3,845

D.
4,500

Answers

Option A

The simple interest earned over 6 years is $ 4050

Solution:

Martha invested a principal amount of $15,000 into a savings account that earns simple interest at a rate of 4.5% per year

The formula for simple interest is given as:

[tex]Simple\ Interest = \frac{p \times n \times r}{100}[/tex]

Where, "p" is the principal and "n" is the number of years and "r" is the rate of interest

From given,

p = 15000

r = 4.5 %

n = 6 years

Substituting the values we get,

[tex]Simple\ Interest = \frac{15000 \times 4.5 \times 6}{100}\\\\Simple\ Interest = 150 \times 4.5 \times 6\\\\Simple\ Interest = 4050[/tex]

Thus simple interest earned over 6 years is $ 4050

Final answer:

Martha will earn $4,050 in simple interest over 6 years on her $15,000 savings account at a 4.5% annual rate. This is calculated using the simple interest formula, Interest = Principal × Rate × Time.

Explanation:

To calculate the simple interest that Martha will earn over a period of 6 years, we will use the formula for simple interest: Interest = Principal × Rate × Time. Here, the principal amount is $15,000, the annual interest rate is 4.5% (which is 0.045 in decimal form), and the time is 6 years.

Let's plug these values into the formula:

Interest = $15,000 × 0.045 × 6

Interest = $15,000 × 0.27

Interest = $4,050

Therefore, the total amount of interest Martha will earn over 6 years is $4,050, which matches option A.

Explanation:

The question asks to calculate the price per pound of chocolate covered peanuts Roman purchased.

Here is a step-by-step explanation:

First, it is important to take note of the total weight of the chocolate covered peanuts, which is 2 1/2 pounds or 2.5 pounds.

Next, we look at the total price paid for the 2.5 pounds, which is $9.75.

To find the price per pound, divide the total price by the total weight: $9.75 ÷ 2.5 pounds.

The price per pound turns out to be $3.90.

Therefore, the price per pound of the chocolate covered peanuts is $3.90.

Which function represents g(x), a reflection of f(x)=4(1/2)^x
across the x-axis?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]g(x)=-4(\frac{1}{2})^x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The parent function is given as:

[tex]f(x)=4(\frac{1}{2})^x[/tex]

The function [tex]g(x)[/tex] is a reflection of the parent function about the x-axis.

Now, in order to find the function g(x), we need to use the rules of function transformations.

As per transformation rules, when a function is reflected about the x-axis, the function rule is given as:

[tex]f(x)\to-f(x)[/tex]

So, the new function or the reflected function is the negative of the original function.

Therefore, the reflected function [tex]g(x)[/tex] is given as:

[tex]g(x)=-f(x)\\\\g(x)=-4(\frac{1}{2})^x[/tex]

Hence, the function that represents the reflection of the given function across the x-axis is [tex]g(x)=-4(\frac{1}{2})^x[/tex]
