Catherine has $54. She plans to spend more than $20 of the money for a painting canvas. The rest will go toward paints. Each tub

e of paint costs $8.50. Assume that x represents the number of tubes of paint Catherine can buy.
The inequality that best represents this scenario is _____. A. 8.5x + 20 > 54 B. 8.5x - 20 < 54 C. 54 - 8.5x < 20 D. 54 - 8.5x > 20

The number of tubes of paint Catherine can buy is _____. A. at least 5 B. more than 4 C. less than 4 D. more than 5

Step 1

Let

x-------> represents the number of tubes of paint Catherine can buy

y------> the money to spend for a painting canvas

we know that

$y> 20$ ------> inequality A

$y=54-8.5x$ ------> equation B

substitute equation B in inequality A

$54-8.5x > 20$

therefore

<u>the answer part a) is</u>

The inequality that best represents this scenario is $54-8.5x > 20$

Step 2

Solve the inequality

$54-8.5x > 20$

$54-20 >8.5x$

$34 >8.5x$

$34/8.5 >x$

$4 >x$ ---------> $x < 4$

therefore

<u>the answer Part b) is the option C</u>

less than $4$

The answer is B. She is buying 4 paint tubes. 4 x 8.5 = 34. 34 - 20 = 14, which is less than 54.

Two friends went fishing on a lake. One friend's lure went 23 feet below the lake's surface, while the other friend's lure sank

serg [7]

Answer:

$Distance = 58\ feet$

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the lure's difference with A and B;

$A = 23\ feet$

$B = 81\ feet$

Required

Determine the difference in depth between the lure's depth

The distance is calculated as follows;

$Distance = B - A$

Substitute 23 feet for A and 81 feet for B

$Distance = 81\ feet - 23\ feet$

$Distance = 58\ feet$

<em>Hence, the distance between both lure's is 58 feet</em>

You begin your first day as a police officer earning $30,000/yr. Assuming that you obtain a full 5% increase each year, what wil

spayn [35]

Answer:

The equation for the amount of salary after x number of years is given by:

$y = a(1+r)^x$

where

a is the initial amount

x represents the number of years and

r represents the growth rate( in decimal)

As per the statement:

You begin your first day as a police officer earning $30,000/yr

⇒ a= 30,000

It is also given that you obtain a full 5% increase each year,

⇒ $r = 5\% = 0.05$

then;

$y = 30,000(1+0.05)^x$

$y = 30,000(1.05)^x$ ....[1]

we have to find the salary in three years.

⇒ $x = 3$

Substitute this value in [1] we have

$y = 30,000(1.05)^3$

Simplify:

$y = \$ 34,4728.75$

therefore, your salary be in three years will be $34,4728.75

The functions $f$ and $g$ are defined as follows: \[f(x) = \sqrt{\dfrac{x+1}{x-1}}\quad\text{and}\quad g(x) = \dfrac{\sqrt{x+1}}

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The answer is "domain and range are different".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$f(x) = \sqrt{\frac{x+1}{x-1}}\\\\g(x) =\frac{\sqrt{x+1}}{\sqrt{x-1}}\\$

Solve f(x) to find domain and range:

for element x: R:

⇒ $x \leq -1 \ \ \ and \ \ \ x > 1$ range:

$for \ \ f(x) \times element : 0 \leq f(x)< 1 \ \ \ or \ \ f(x)>1$

$g(x) =\frac{\sqrt{x+1}}{\sqrt{x-1}}\\$

Solve for domain:

⇒ $\ when \ x \ element \ R: \ \ \ x>1$

Solve for range:

⇒ $g(x) \times element$ R : $g(x)>1$

So, the value of the method f(x) and g(x) (range and domain) were different.
