Which of the following is a solution of y - x > -3?

(6, 2)
(2, 6)
(2, -1)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(2, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

For each of the 3 given points, substitute the coordinates into y - x > -3 and determine whether the resulting inequality is true or false:

(6, 2):  2 - 6 > - 3, or -4 > -3.  This is FALSE, so (6, 2) is not a solution.

(2, 6):  6 - 2 > - 3, or 4 > -3.  This is TRUE, so (2, 6) is a solution.

Answer 2

Answer: (2,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates are in the form (x,y)

(6,2)    2-6=-3,  -3≡-3  thus not the answer

(2,6)    6-2=3,  3>-3  

(2,-1)   -1-2=-3,  -3≡-3  thus not the answer

Nancy walks 5 blocks to the right, 3 blocks down, 7 blocks to the left, and 1 block up. Each square's side length is 1 block. What are the coordinates of her new position?

Starting coordinates are (2, -3)

A. (1, 5)
B. (0, -5)
C. (-3, 0)
D. (-6, -3)
E. (-4,-4)

Answers

Answer:

The coordinates of her new position are (0 , -5) ⇒ answer B

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise some translation

- If the point (x , y) translated horizontally to the right by h units

 then the new point = (x + h , y)

- If the point (x , y) translated horizontally to the left by h units

 then the new point = (x - h , y)

- If the point (x , y) translated vertically up by k units

 then the new point = (x , y + k)

- If the point (x , y) translated vertically down by k units

 then the new point = (x , y - k)

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ Nancy start from position (2 , -3)

- She walks 5 blocks to the right and 3 blocks down

∴ Add x-coordinate by 5 and subtract y-coordinate by 3

∵ The starting position is (2 , -3)

∴ The new position is (2 + 5 , -3 - 3) = (7 , -6)

- She walks 7 blocks to the left and 1 block up

∴ Subtract x-coordinate by 7 and add the y-coordinate by 1

∴ The new position is (7 - 7 , -6 + 1) = (0 , -5)

* The coordinates of her new position are (0 , -5)

a patient is to take 60 mg of an antibiotic on day 1, take 45mg on days 2 and 3, take 30mg on days 4 and 5 and take 15 mg on days 6 and 7. how many total mg will the patient take?

Answers

Answer:

240mg

Step-by-step explanation:

The patient takes 60mg the first day, 45mg the second and third day, 30mg the fourth and fifth day and 15mg the sixth and seventh day.

The amount of miligrams the patient will take is the following:

mg = 60mg + 2×45mg + 2×30mg and 2×15mg = 240mg

Then, the patient will take in total 240mg!

Answer: [tex]240 mg[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to analize the information provided.

On day 1: [tex]60\ mg[/tex]

On day 2:  [tex]45\ mg[/tex]

On day 3:  [tex]45\ mg[/tex]

On day 4: [tex]30\ mg[/tex]

On day 5: [tex]30\ mg[/tex]

On day 6: [tex]15\ mg[/tex]

On day 7: [tex]15\ mg[/tex]

Then, to find the total mg the patient will take, we need to add the mg of each day. Therefore:

[tex]Total=60\ mg+45\ mg+45\ mg+30\ mg+30\ mg+15\ mg+15\ mg=240\ mg[/tex]

Find the x- and y-intercept of the line. x + 4y = 36 x-intercept is 36; y-intercept is 9. x-intercept is 1; y-intercept is 4. x-intercept is 9; y-intercept is 36. x-intercept is 4; y-intercept is 1.

Answers

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x + 4y = 36

To find the x- intercept, let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x

x + 0 = 36 ⇒ x = 36 ← x- intercept

To find the y- intercept let x = 0 in the equation and solve for y

0 + 4y = 36 ⇒ y = 9 ← y- intercept

Answer:

x-intercept is 36; y-intercept is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of the line,

[tex]x+4y=36[/tex]

For x-intercept ( the point at which the line intersects the x-axis ),

y = 0,

[tex]\implies x+4(0) = 36[/tex]

[tex]x=36[/tex]

The value of x-intercept is 36,

Now, for y-intercept( the point at which the line interests the y-axis )

x = 0,

0 + 4y = 36

⇒ y = 9

The value of y-intercept is 9.

Hence, first option is correct.

b. $11.

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

[tex]y[/tex] is given as [tex]37[/tex], and the question is asking for the value of [tex]x[/tex].

Solve this equation with respect to [tex]x[/tex].

[tex]0.50x + 5.00 = 37[/tex].

Subtract 5.00 from both sides of this equation:

[tex]0.50x = 32[/tex].

[tex]\displaystyle x= \frac{32}{0.50} = 64[/tex].

In other words, 64 tickets were purchased.

b.

[tex]x = 12[/tex], and the question is asking for the value of [tex]y[/tex].

Replace [tex]x[/tex] with 12 and evaluate the expression [tex]y = 0.50x + 5.00[/tex] for [tex]y[/tex].

[tex]y = 0.50\times 12 + 5.00 = 11.00[/tex].

Julie is in a singing competition and needs an average score of 9.1 to make it to the next round. There are four judges. The first three judges gave scores of 8.8, 9.5, and 9.2.

What equation can you solve to determine the lowest score the fourth judge can give for Julie to move on?

Answers

Answer:

Solve the equation

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{8.8 + 9.5 + 9.2 + x}{4} \ge 9.1[/tex],

where [tex]x[/tex] is the minimum score of the fourth judge.

At least 8.9 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the score of the fourth judge be [tex]x[/tex].

The average score is the sum of the four judges' score divided by the number of scores. That is:

[tex]\displaystyle \text{Average Score} = \frac{8.8 + 9.5 + 9.2 + x}{4}[/tex].

The minimum average score needs to be greater than or equal to [tex]9.1[/tex]. In other words,

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{8.8 + 9.5 + 9.2 + x}{4} \ge 9.1[/tex].

Multiply both sides of by four.

[tex]8.8 + 9.5 + 9.2 + x = 4\times 9.1[/tex].

Subtract [tex]8.8 + 9.5 + 9.2[/tex] from both sides of the equation:

[tex]x = 4\times 9.1 - (8.8 + 9.5 + 9.2) = 8.9[/tex].

In other words, the minimum score of the last judge is [tex]8.9[/tex] for Julie to move on.

https://brainly.com/question/29199574

#SPJ2

The correct expression that represents her father's age is A.[tex]\(3x - 4\).[/tex]

To arrive at this conclusion, let's analyze the given information:

Marcy determined that her father's age is four less than three times her age. Let's denote Marcy's age as x. According to the statement, her father's age can be expressed as three times Marcy's age minus four years.

Mathematically, this can be written as:

[tex]\[ \text{Father's age} = 3 \times \text{Marcy's age} - 4 \][/tex]

Substituting x for Marcy's age, we get:

[tex]\[ \text{Father's age} = 3x - 4 \][/tex]

Now, let's evaluate the other options to confirm that they are incorrect:

B. x - 4: This expression suggests that the father's age is four years less than Marcy's age, which does not match the given information that the father's age is four less than three times Marcy's age.

C. 4x - 3: This expression indicates that the father's age is three years less than four times Marcy's age, which again does not align with the given information.

D. 4 - 3x: This expression would imply that the father's age is calculated by subtracting three times Marcy's age from four, which is not the relationship described in the problem.

Therefore, the only expression that correctly represents the father's age based on the given information is A. [tex]\(3x - 4\).[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

A term in a polynomial is a single number or a number multiplied by any number of variables. A polynomial is a sum of terms.

The only thing that can be done with variables in a polynomial is to multiply them by numbers or other variables. In a polynomial, you cannot: divide by a variable (have a variable in a denominator), have a root of a variable, have a log of a variable, have a variable as an exponent, etc.

All expressions are polynomials except for D. In D., the negative exponents mean division by variables.

The soccer teams in a club league are ordering new jerseys. The cost is $18 per jersey plus $10 shipping per team.
There are 7 teams, each with an equal number of players. The total cost to order jerseys for all the teams is
$2,590. Which equation can be used to determine x, the number of players on each team?​

Answers

Answer:

10*7+ 18x *7 =2590

or 70 + 18x*7  =2590

Step-by-step explanation:

10*7 to find out how much the shipping costs for the 7 teams altogether

18*x  because you need to find how much the jerseys cost for all the soccer teams

then multiply it by 7 to find how many players on each team

when you solve for x you get 20

there are 20 players on each on team.

Final answer:

To determine the number of players on each soccer team, given the total jersey order cost for all teams, the equation 7(18x) + 7(10) = 2590 can be used, where x represents the number of players.

Explanation:

The question asks which equation can be used to determine x, the number of players on each team, given that the total cost to order jerseys for all the teams is $2,590, the cost per jersey is $18, and the shipping per team is $10, with 7 teams ordering. To find the equation, we first outline the total costs involved: the cost of the jerseys plus the shipping cost for all teams.

Let's denote x as the number of players on each team.

The cost for jerseys for one team would be 18x (since each jersey costs $18), and the cost to outfit all 7 teams would be 7 times that amount, plus the total shipping cost for all teams (7 teams times $10 per team).

So, the equation can be represented as:

7(18x) + 7(10) = 2590

This equation accounts for both the per-jersey cost and the fixed shipping fee for each team, totaling up to the overall cost reported.

Step-by-step explanation:

4x = 32 - x2 would be much clearer if written as 4x = 32 - x^2.  Please use

" ^ " to indicate exponentiation.

Rewrite 4x = 32 - x^2 in the standard form of a quadratic:  x^2 + 4x - 32

Then the coefficients are a = 1, b = 4 and c = -32.

Find the discriminant.  It is b^2-4ac.  

Here, b^2-4ac = 4^2 - 4(1)(-32), or 16 + 128, or 144.

Because the discriminant is positive, we know immediately that this quadratic has two real, unequal roots.

What is the diameter of the circle?
[1] units

Answers

ANSWER

The diameter is 8 units.

EXPLANATION

A portion of the y-axis is serving as the diameter of the circle.

The portion of the y-axis that intersects the circle at two points.

We can use these intercepts to find the diameter.

There is a y-intercept at y=2 and y=-6.

The distance between the two intercepts is the diameter of the circle.

[tex] |2 - - 6| = |2 + 6| = 8[/tex]

Therefore the radius is 8 units.

Answer: [tex]diameter=8\ units[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the radius of a circle is the distance from its center to its edge.

We need to remember that diameter of a circle is twice the radius:

[tex]diameter=2(radius)[/tex]

Then, you can observe in the figure that there are 4 units between the center of this circle and its edge, therefore the radius is:

[tex]radius=4\ units[/tex]

Finally, you need to substitute the radius calculated into the formula  [tex]diameter=2*radius[/tex] to find the value of the diameter of this circle. Then, this is:

 [tex]diameter=2(4\ units)[/tex]

 [tex]diameter=8\ units[/tex]
