The school council is raising money for a field trip to the state capital. To raise money, members are renting a cotton candy ma

chine and selling cotton candy at lunch. They need to raise at least $180 for the trip, and figure that they can sell cotton candy to 85 students at $3 each.
A. Write an inequality that can be used to determine how much they can afford to pay for the cotton candy machine.


B. What is the price they can afford to pay for the cotton candy machine?




2. A hot air balloon, including the basket underneath to hold its passengers, weighs 140 pounds. The apparent weight of the balloon is given by the equation below.

apparent weight = weight – lift
If the apparent weight is 0 or less, the balloon will float.

A. The balloon has a lift of 400 pounds. Write an inequality that could be used to determine how heavy the passengers of the balloon can be.


B. Use your inequality to calculate how much the passengers can weigh.


C. There is a second balloon, which has a different weight but the same amount of lift. With no passengers, the apparent weight of the balloon is -130 pounds. What is the weight of the balloon?

<span>1A. $3*85 - C >= $180 1B. $75 >= C 2A. (P + 140) - 400 <= 0 2B. P <= 260 2C. W = 270 1A. The money raised by the cotton candy machine will be the money earned minus the cost. So $3*85 - C >= $180 1B. Solve for C $3*85 - C >= $180 $255 - C >= $180 $255 >= $180 + C $75 >= C So the cost of the cotton candy machine (including supplies) has to be less than or equal to $75. 2A. Let's use P as passenger weight. (P + 140) - 400 <= 0 2B. Solve for P (P + 140) - 400 <= 0 P + 140 - 400 <= 0 P + 140 <= 400 P <= 260 So the passengers can weigh at most 260 lbs. 2C. Since the lift is 400 and the apparent weight is -130, the equation is W - 400 = -130 Solving for W gives W - 400 = -130 W = 270 So the other balloon weights 270 pounds.</span>

Is the line y = 3x – 7 parallel or perpendicular to 3x + 9y = 9? Explain your answer.
Roman55 [17]
Y = 3x - 7...slope here is 3 and y int is -7

3x + 9y = 9
9y = -3x + 9
y = -1/3x + 1....slope here is -1/3 and y int is 1

the slopes 3 and -1/3 are negative reciprocals of each other...therefore, ur lines are perpendicular

Let f(x)=−3x. The graph of f(x) ​is transformed into the graph of g(x) by a vertical stretch of 4 units and a translation of 4 u
deff fn [24]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Ques 1)

                   g(x)=-12x+48

Ques 2)

                 g(x)=|3x|+4

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Ques 1)

We know that if a graph is stretched by a factor of a then the transformation if given by:

    f(x) → a f(x)

Also, we know that the translation of a function k units to the right or to the left is given by:

  f(x) →  f(x+k)

where if k>0 then the shift is k units to the left

and if k<0 then the shift is k units to the right.

Here the graph of f(x) ​is transformed into the graph of g(x) by a vertical stretch of 4 units and a translation of 4 units right.

This means that the function g(x) is given by:

g(x)=4f(x-4)\\\\i.e.\\\\g(x)=4(-3(x-4))\\\\i.e.\\\\g(x)=-12(x-4)\\\\i.e.\\\\g(x)=-12x+48

Ques 2)

We know that the transformation of the type:

  f(x) → f(x)+k

is a shift or translation of the function k units up or down depending on k.

If k>0 then the shift is k units up.

and if k<0 then the shift is k units down.

Here, The graph of the function f(x)=|3x| is translated 4 units up.

This means that the transformed function g(x) is given by:

                 g(x)=|3x|+4

Given ​ f(x)=x^2+12x+26 ​.
lapo4ka [179]

f(x)=x^2+12x+26

Vertex form of f(x) = a(x-h)^2 +k

We change f(x) into vertex form using completing the square method

f(x)=x^2+12x+26

We take half of square of middle term

middle term is 12

Half of square of 12 is \frac{12}{2}=6 then 6^2 = 36

Add and subtract 36 to complete the square

f(x)=(x^2+12x+36)+26-36

f(x)= (x+6)^2 +26 - 36 f(x)= (x+6)^2 -10

The vertex form f(x)= (x+6)^2 -10

To determine what students at a school would be willing to do to help address global warming, researchers take a random sample o
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

(ai) The correct answer is the first option;  The amount of tax the student is willing to add to a gallon of gasoline.

(aii) The correct answer is the last option; Whether the student believes that global warming is a serious issue or not.

(b)  The correct answer is the first option; two-sample t interval

Step-by-step explanation:

A response variable in statistics is the idea or concept of needs to be proven right or wrong. It remains a response variable until it has been proven.  

An explanatory variable simply means an independent variable. It doesn't depend on any other variable and at the same time, it can be manipulated.

In construct a 95% confidence interval to compare the two groups, two-sample t test is the appropriate t test to use.
