Answer:

Option C) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sandra enters a pumpkin growing contest each year.

currently her pumpkin measures 36 inches in circumference.

She models the weekly growth for her pumpkin with the equation

y = 2x + 36 which is similar to Y = mx + C

"C" represents "Y - intercept" which is at x = 0

measurement on Y axis x = 0 signifies the starting date of the contest.

and for x + 0 ⇒ y = 2 × 0 + 36 = 36

Which is starting size of the pumpkin.

Therefore, Option C) is correct.

Hi there.

Using process of elimination & some logic, I believe the answer is:

C) starting size of the pumpkin

I hope this turned out right!

Answer:

(A) $56.5^\circ$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram attached:

Angle 1 and Angle 6 are Co-Interior Angles.

The sum of co-interior angle is 180 degrees.

Therefore:

$m\angle 1+ m\angle 6=180^\circ\\\\m\angle 6=123.5^\circ,$ therefore:\\m\angle 1+ 123.5^\circ=180^\circ\\m\angle 1=180^\circ-123.5^\circ\\m\angle 1=56.5^\circ$

The measure of angle 1 is therefore 56.5 degrees.

The correct option is A.

Tomorrow, Mrs. Wendel's class will be using toothpicks for a science project. Each student must use at least 9 toothpicks for th

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Number of toothpicks required per student = At least 9

Total number of students = 30

Number of toothpicks required for the entire class = At least 9 × 30 = At least 270

Number of toothpicks in the bag in the class storage room = 50

Additional number of toothpicks required to be bought to make sure there are enough toothpicks = 270 - 50 = 220

Hence, she needs to buy 220 toothpicks.

In two or more complete sentences, describe the transformation(s) that take place on the parent function, f(x) = log(x), to achi

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Shift 2 unit left

Flip the graph about y-axis

Stretch horizontally by factor 2

Shift vertically up by 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Parent function: $f(x)=\log x$

Transformation function: $f(x)=\log(-2x-4)+2$

Take -2 common from transform function f(x)

$f(x)=\log[-2(x+2)]+2$

Now we see the step-by-step translation

$f(x)=\log x$

Shift 2 unit left ( x → x+2 )

$f(x)=\log(x+2)$

Flip the graph about y-axis ( (x+2) → - (x+2) )

$f(x)=\log[-(x+2)]$

Stretch horizontally by factor 2 [ -x(x+2) → -2(x+2) ]

$f(x)=\log[-2(x+2)]$

Shift vertically up by 2 units [ f(x) → f(x) + 2 ]

$f(x)=\log[-2(x+2)]+2$

Simplify the function:

$f(x)=\log(-2x-4)+2$

Hence, Using four step of transformation to get new function $f(x)=\log(-2x-4)+2$
