A study analyzed the average yearly salt intake in the United States from 2012 thru 2017. The data is summarized in the table: Y

ear Annual Salt Intake (grams) 2012 3,554 2013 3,598 2014 3,603 2015 3,655 2016 3,718 2017 3,794 The study found that the data after the year 2012 can be modeled by the function f(x) = 52.3x + 3,548, where x is the number of years since 2012 and f(x) is the total amount of salt ingested in grams. Describe the significance of 3,548.

Answer:

Is an estimate of the average grams of salt used in 2012

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> the number of years since 2012

f(x) ---> is the total amount of salt ingested in grams

we have

f(x)=52.3x+3.548

This is a linear equation in slope intercept form

where

The slope is equal to

m=52.3\ grams/ year

The y-intercept or initial value is equal to

b=3,548\ grams

The y-intercept is the value of the function f(x) when the value of x is equal to zero

In this context, the y-intercept is the average amount of grams of salt ingested  in the year 2012

The exact value of the average amount of grams of salt ingested  in the year 2012 is 3,554 grams (see the data in the table)

Compare the exact value with the y-intercept

3,554\ g\neq 3,548\ g

therefore

3,548 grams Is an estimate of the average grams of salt used in 2012

Michael earns $21 per hour and works 40 hours per week. How many overtime hours would he have to worky in a week for his time-an
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

27 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The regular hours are paid normally, 21/hr hence working for 40 hours, Michael earns 40*21=$840

To work x hours paid overtime as 1.5 of the normal rate, the rate would be $21*1.5=$31.5/hr

X hours multiplied by rate of $31.5/hr should be at least equal to $840

31.5x>=840

X>=840/31.5>=26.6667 hours and when rounded off

X is 27 hours

How much heat is required to raise the temperature of
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of liquid water is 9605 kilo joule .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The mass of liquid water = 50 g

The initial temperature = T_1 = 15°c

The final temperature = T_2  = 100°c

The latent heat of vaporization of water = 2260.0 J/g

Let The amount of heat required to raise temperature = Q Joule

Now, From method

Heat = mass × latent heat × change in temperature

Or, Q = m × s × ΔT

or, Q =  m × s × ( T_2 - T_1 )

So, Q = 50 g × 2260.0 J/g × ( 100°c - 15°c )

Or, Q =  50 g × 2260.0 J/g × 85°c

∴   Q = 9,605,000  joule

Or, Q =  9,605 × 10³ joule

Or, Q = 9605 kilo joule

Hence The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of liquid water is 9605 kilo joule . Answer

The linear function m=55-8.5b represents the amount m (in dollars) of money that you have after buying b books. Find the domain
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The domain is (-∞ , ∞)

The domain is continuous

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to identify the domain of the linear function

The domain in this case can be represented by the set of all real numbers.

When we talk of the domain of a function, we are simply referring to the the range of values between the smallest value on the x-axis and the largest number on the x-axis

Hence, mathematically, we are simply considering the smallest value of b up to the largest value of b in this case. Where b simply represents the number of books

Thus, the domain here will be (-∞ , ∞)

On if the domain is discrete or continuous, we can see that the domain is continuous.

The domain is continuous simply because, the domain we have contains all the values and not some in the set of real numbers. If it had contain only some, then it would have been discrete. But since it contains all, it is continuous
