Let f(t) give the number of liters of fuel oil burned in t days, and w(r) the liters burned in r weeks. Find a formula for w by

viktelen [127]

Answer:

7 f(t)

Step-by-step explanation:

So, our f(t) is the number of liters burned in t days. If t is 1, f(t)=f(1) and so on for every t.

w(r) id the number of liters in r weeks. This is, in one week there are w(1) liters burned.

As in one week there are 7 days, we can replace the r, that is a week, by something that represents 7 days. As 1 day is represented by t, one week can be 7t (in other words r = 7t). So, we have that the liters burned in one week are:

w(r) = w[7f(t)]

So, we represented the liters in one week by it measure of days.

So, we can post that the number of liters burned in 7 days is the same as the number of liters burned 1 day multiplied by 7 times. So:

w (r) = w[7 f(t)] = 7 f(t)

Here we hace the w function represented in terms of t instead of r.

Anna is at the movie theater and has $35 to spend. She spends $9.50 on a ticket and wants to buy some snacks. Each snack costs $

EastWind [94]

Answer with explanation:

Amount of money Possessed by Anna = $ 35

Money spent on ticket = $9.50

Money spent on Snacks = $ 3.50

Let x number of snacks, which will be least number of snacks that Anna can buy.

transforming the situation in terms of inequality

→9.50 +3.50 x≤ 35

→9.50 -9.50+3.50 x≤35-9.50

→3.50 x≤25.50

Dividing both sides by 3.50, we get

→x≤7.3(approx)

which can't be number of Snacks, as it will be an integral value.

So, minimum number of snacks with given amount of money = 7

So, Anna can buy snacks(x)={x:x≤7,x=1,2,3,4,5,6,7}=At most 7.

Suppose that demand in period 1 was 7 units and the demand in period 2 was 9 units. Assume that the forecast for period 1 was fo

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Forecast for period 1 is 5

Demand For Period 1 is 7

Demand for Period 2 is 9

Forecast can be given by

$F_{t+1}=F_t+\alpha (D_t-F_t)$

where

$F_{t+1}=Future Forecast$

$F_t=Present\ Period\ Forecast$

$D_t=Present\ Period\ Demand$

$\alpha =smoothing\ constant$

$F_{t+1}=5+0.2(7-5)$

$F_{t+1}=5.4$

Forecast for Period 3

$F_{t+2}=F_{t+1}+\alpha (D_{t+1}-F_{t+1})$

$F_{t+2}=5.4+0.2\cdot (9-5.4)$

$F_{t+2}=6.12$

Mark and his friends ordered two pizzas are the same size the first pizza is cut into six slices of equal size the second pizza

tino4ka555 [31]

1/6 < 1/4 so 1/6 would equal 2/12 and 1/4 would equal 3/12 so which means if you take one from each it would be 5/12 but if you took 2 from the first one it would only be 2/12 which is why you need to read correctly because THE REASON MARK IS CORRECT IS BECAUSE 5/12 IS GREATER THAN 2/12
