Answer:

  no more than 7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

You want p(h) ≥ 3, so ...

  p(h) ≥ 3

  -2/7h +5 ≥ 3

  2 ≥ 2/7h . . . . . . add 2/7h -3

  7 ≥ h . . . . . . . . . multiply by 7/2

The worker's shift should be 7 hours or less.

Pooja's plant began sprouting 2days before Pooja bought it, and she had it for 98 days until it died. At its tallest, the plant
taurus [48]

Given that function H(t) models the height of Pooja's plant (in centimeters) where t is the number of days after she bought it.

Now we have to find about which number type is more appropriate for the domain of h. That means what values can be taken by the variable "t".

Since t is number of days not the hours so t will not use decimal or fraction values. It can use integer values for the number of days.

Since time is counted after she bought the plant then number of days will be positive.

Hence answer for the type of domain can be positive integers or you can say integers greater than or equal to 0.

Elise does not like sorbet, so she omits that ingredient and adds 5 percent of each of the other ingredients. How many cups of p
Arisa [49]

Answer:

20 cups of punch

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

If Elise adds 5 percent of each of the other ingredients

then

the new percentages are

Ginger Ale=40%+5%=45%

Orange Juice=25%+5%=30%

Pineapple Juice=20%+5%=25%

Sorbet=0%

Find out how many cups of punch will she have if she uses 6 cups of orange juice, using proportion

Let

x ----> the total cups of punch

\frac{6}{30\%}=\frac{x}{100\%}\\\\x=6(100)/30\\\\x=20\ cups\ of\ punch

The value of x must be greater than _____
bezimeni [28]
Answer: The value of x must be greater than 3

------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation:

The triangle inequality theorem will come into play here. The basic idea of this theorem is "take any two sides of a triangle and add them up. That sum must be larger than the third side". 

So if we have 
a = 12
b = x
c = 15

then the following must hold true (all three inequalities must be true)
a+b > c
a+c > b
b+c > a

Focus on the first inequality and plug in the given values. Then solve for x
a+b > c
12+x > 15
12+x-12 > 15-12
x > 3

So we see that x > 3. Repeat the same for the second inequality
a+c > b
12+15 > x
27 > x
x < 27

Repeat again for the third inequality
b+c > a
x+15 > 12
x+15-15 > 12-15
x > -3

-------------------------

In summary so far, we have
x > 3
x < 27
x > -3

Combine all of those inequalities to form one single compound inequality which is 3 < x < 27

For some reason your teacher doesn't want you to focus on the "less than 27" part, so it seems like s/he only wants the "x > 3" portion.

So this is why x must be larger than 3 (up only til you get to 27 though).
