ANSWER
A.) The graph of f(x) is horizontally compressed.
EXPLANATION
The given absolute value function is
[tex]f(x) = - 6 |x + 5| - 2[/tex]
The parent function is
[tex]y = |x| [/tex]
Since the factor -6 has an absolute value greater than 1, the graph of the given function will be narrower than the graph of the base function.
Hence the graph is horizontally stretched by a factor of 6.
The graph opens downwards because of the negative sign.
It has vertex at (-5,-2)
Summer camp surveys 40 campus to see if they would take tennis next week. 12 camper say they would. If they were 250 campers. How many campers should the counselors plan on for next week’s tennis lesson
Answer:
76.8
Step-by-step explanation:
40/250 = 0.16 (1 campers vote)
0.16 x 12 = 1.92
1.92 x 40 = 76.8
To estimate the number of campers who might be interested in tennis lessons, a proportion can be used based on a survey of 40 campers, 12 of whom were interested. Scaling this up to the total 250 campers, approximately 75 campers might be interested in the tennis lessons.
The question is asking us to estimate the number of campers who would be interested in taking tennis lessons at a summer camp. From a small survey of 40 campers, 12 said they would take tennis lessons. To find out how many campers out of the total 250 might be interested, we need to use proportion. The proportion of campers interested in the survey is 12 out of 40, which we can set as equal to x out of 250, where x is the number we want to find. The equation is set up as follows:
12 / 40 = x / 250
Multiply both sides by 250 to isolate x:
250 × (12 / 40) = x
Calculate x:
x = 250 × (12 / 40) = 75
Therefore, the counselors should plan on approximately 75 campers attending next week’s tennis lesson.
Use the pattern to answer the question. 27, 18, 12, 8. Which expression can be used to find the nth term of the pattern?
A. 27-6n
B. 27-6(n-1)
C. 27(2/3)^n
D. 27(2/3)^n-1
If you cross check with the answer , you’ll find option C to be the most appropriate option.
The difference between the first two terms is 9 and 9 is not a multiple of six, therefore first two are wrong.
Similarly, if you check option D for the first two terms , you get the second term as 27 which is false.
Therefore option C is the answer, also , it satisfies the series.
Final answer:
The correct expression to find the nth term of the given pattern is Option D: [tex]27(2/3)^{(n-1)}[/tex], as it accurately represents the geometric sequence of the provided numbers.
Explanation:
To find the nth term of the given pattern 27, 18, 12, 8, we will consider each option and see which one fits the sequence of numbers.
The first term (n=1) is 27.
The second term (n=2) is 18, which is 27 multiplied by ⅔ or 2/3.
The third term (n=3) is 12, which is the second term (18) multiplied by ⅔ or 2/3.
Similarly, the fourth term (n=4) is 8, which is the third term (12) multiplied by ⅔ or 2/3.
We can see that with each step, the term is being multiplied by a factor of ⅔ or 2/3. Therefore, an expression that uses multiplication by ⅔ repeatedly would likely represent the pattern.
Let's test the options:
Option A: 27-6n does not fit as it suggests a linear pattern with a constant subtraction, which does not match our sequence.
Option B: 27-6(n-1) also suggests a linear pattern and will not result in the given sequence when evaluated for n=1,2,3,4.
Option C: [tex]27(2/3)^n[/tex] represents a geometric sequence with a common ratio of ⅔, but for n=1, this expression gives us 27*⅔ which is not equal to 27.
Option D: [tex]27(2/3)^{(n-1)}[/tex] when evaluated for n=1 gives us 27*[tex](2/3)^{(1-1)}[/tex] = 27*1 = 27, which is the correct first term of our sequence. Applying this for subsequent terms also gives the correct sequence. Therefore, this is the correct expression for the nth term of the pattern.
Thus, the expression to find the nth term of the pattern is Option D: [tex]27(2/3)^{(n-1)}[/tex].
andre drinks 15 ounces of water, which is 3/5 of a bottle. How much does the bottle hold? Use x for the number of ounces of water the bottle holds.
Answer:
25 ounces of water
Step-by-step explanation:
3/5 = 15
Cross multiplying this:
1 = x
3/5 = 15
3/5x=15
x=25
Answer:
The bottle hold 25 ounces of water
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the amount of water the bottle hold, we will follow the steps below;
let x be the number of ounces of water the bottle holds
3/5 of x = 15 ounces
3/5 × x = 15
[tex]\frac{3X}{5}[/tex] = 15
Multiply both-side of the equation by 5
[tex]\frac{3X}{5}[/tex] × 5 = 15×5
At the left-hand side of the equation 5 will cancel-out 5 leaving us with 3x
3x = 75
Divide both-side of the equation by 3
[tex]\frac{3X}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{75}{3}[/tex]
(On the left-hand side of the equation 3 at the numerator will cancel-out 3 at the denominator leaving us with x while on the right-hand side of the equation 75 will be divided by 3)
x = 25 ounce

Step-by-step explanation:
An Easter basket contains eggs of three different colors. Find the total number of eggs in the basket if 2 7 of all eggs are green, 1 4 of all are blue and the rest 26 eggs are red.
Answer:
Total number of eggs in basket = 56
Step-by-step explanation:
Let z be the total number of eggs
Green eggs = [tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex] × z ........1
Blue eggs = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] × z .......2
Rest of eggs = 26 ........3
The addition of 1, 2 and 3 is equal to z
[tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex] × z + [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] + 26 = z
[tex]\frac{8z + 7 z}{28}[/tex] + 26 = z ∵GCF for 4 and 7 is 28
[tex]\frac{15z}{28}[/tex] + 26 = z
15z + (26 × 28) = 28z ∵ multiply both sides by 28
15z + 728 = 28z
28z - 15z = 728 .......... rearranging above equation
13z = 728 ⇒ z = [tex]\frac{728}{13}[/tex] ⇒ z = 56
Total number of eggs = z = 56
Answer: There are total 56 eggs in the basket.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that an Easter basket contains eggs of three different colors, out of which [tex]\dfrac{2}{7}[/tex] are green, [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] are blue and rest 26 eggs are red.
We are to find the total number of eggs in the basket.
Let x be the total number of eggs in the Easter basket.
Then, according to the given information, we have
[tex]\dfrac{2}{7}\times x+\dfrac{1}{4}\times x+26=x\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{8x+7x}{28}+26=x\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{15x}{28}+26=x\\\\\\\Rightarrow x-\dfrac{15x}{28}=26\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{28x-15x}{28}=26\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{13x}{28}=26\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{26\times 28}{13}\\\\\Rightarrow x=56.[/tex]
Thus, there are total 56 eggs in the basket.

No. There are two spots in the vertical line. (Vertical line test)
ANSWER
No, there are two points with the same x-coordinates.
EXPLANATION
The relation in the graph is not a function.
There are two points in the relation that have the same x-coordinates.
These points are (1,1) and (1,3).
As a result of this , a vertical line will intersect the graph of the relation at these two points.
Since the graph of the relation does not pass the vertical line test, it is not a function.

Mike spent $7920 on his vacation, which was 11% of his monthly salary. What was his monthly salary?
Answer : 72,000
Ex: Let x be his monthly salary.
The equation to set up would be
7920=0.11x
This equation represents 11% of monthly salary = 7920
To solve you divide 0.11x by 0.11 to get x by itself. then you do what you do to one side to the other. therefore you divide 7920 by 0.11 and you get 72,000
2. Tell which measure of central tendency best describes the data
3. Tell which measure of central tendency best describes the data
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean, it is the average of all numbers and most accurately represents the data set.
The best measure of central tendency depends on the data set characteristics: the mean is suitable for outlier-free data, the median is better for skewed data or when outliers are present, and the mode indicates the most common value.
Explanation:Choosing the Best Measure of Central Tendency
When analyzing a data set, selecting the appropriate measure of central tendency is crucial. The three main measures are the mean, median, and mode. The mean is the arithmetic average and is best used when the data set does not contain outliers that can skew the results. The median is the middle value when the data is ordered and offers a better representation when outliers are present. The mode is the most frequently occurring value and provides insight into the most common data point.
In a symmetrical data set where the data are evenly distributed, all three measures of central tendency—the mean, median, and mode—will be equal or close to each other. In a skewed distribution or when the data contains outliers, the median is generally the most reliable measure of the center, as it is unaffected by extreme values.

doroteo determined that the correlation coefficient for a set data was -0.9. what percent of the total variation in the y-values is not explained by the regression line?
Answer:
19% of the total variation in the y-values is not explained by the regression line
Step-by-step explanation:
The correlation coefficient, r, is a measure of the degree of association between two variables. It gives information on the direction and strength of the relationship.
On the other hand, [tex]R^{2}[/tex] is the coefficient of determination and is a measure of the percent of the total variation in the y-values explained by the regression line.
[tex]R^{2}[/tex] is simply the square of r;
[tex]R^{2}=r^{2}=(-0.9)^{2}=0.81[/tex]
This implies that 81% of the total variation in the y-values is explained by the regression line. Therefore, only 19% is not explained.
Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using any method, and fill in the blanks.
Lloyd's Bakery sold one customer 9 dozen chocolate cookies and 8 dozen oatmeal cookies for $110. The bakery also sold another customer 9 dozen chocolate cookies and 5 dozen oatmeal cookies for $89. How much do the cookies cost?
A dozen chocolate cookies cost $___ and a dozen oatmeal cookies cost $___
To describe the situation, we can write a system of equations. The cost of a dozen chocolate cookies and a dozen oatmeal cookies can be found by solving the system of equations.
Explanation:To write a system of equations to describe the situation, let's assign variables to the unknown quantities. Let's say the cost of a dozen chocolate cookies is x dollars and the cost of a dozen oatmeal cookies is y dollars.
The first equation represents the sale of 9 dozen chocolate cookies and 8 dozen oatmeal cookies for $110. This can be written as:
9x + 8y = 110
The second equation represents the sale of 9 dozen chocolate cookies and 5 dozen oatmeal cookies for $89. This can be written as:
9x + 5y = 89
We now have a system of two equations with two variables. We can solve this system using any method, such as substitution or elimination, to find the values of x and y.
Once we find the values of x and y, we can determine the cost of a dozen chocolate cookies and a dozen oatmeal cookies, respectively.

Sandy mixed together 9 gallons of one brand of juice and 8 gallons of a second brand of juice which contains 48% real fruit juice. Find the percent of real fruit juice in the first brand if the mixture contained 30% real fruit juice.
A) 18%
B) 140%
C) 180%
D) 14%
Answer:
D) 14%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the percent of the real fruit in the first brand = x
Given that number of gallons of real fruit in the first brand = 9 gallons
Given that percent of the real fruit in the second brand = 48%
Given that number of gallons of real fruit in the second brand = 8 gallons
Given that percent of the real fruit in the mixture = 30%
then number of gallons of real fruit in the mixture = (9+8) = 17 gallons
Then we get equation:
[x% of 9 gallons] + [48% of 8 gallons] = [30% of 17 gallons]
9x+48(8)=30(17)
9x+384=510
9x=510-384
9x=126
x=126/9
x=14
Hence final answer is D) 14%

The odometer of a new automobile functions improperly and registers only 2 miles for every 3 miles driven. If the odometer indicates 48 miles, how many miles has the automobile actually been driven?
Final answer:
The odometer reads 2 miles for every 3 actual miles driven. To find the actual distance when the odometer shows 48 miles, a proportion is used, leading to the calculation that the automobile has driven 72 actual miles.
Explanation:
The student is dealing with a proportion problem in mathematics where the automobile's odometer is inaccurate. Given that the odometer registers 2 miles for every 3 miles driven, we can set up a proportion to find the actual distance driven. If the odometer indicates 48 miles, we can write the proportion as follows:
2 miles (odometer) / 3 miles (actual) = 48 miles (odometer) / x miles (actual)
Cross-multiply to solve for x: 2x = 48 × 3
Calculate x: 2x = 144
Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x: x = 144 / 2
Find the value of x: x = 72 miles
Therefore, the automobile has actually been driven 72 miles.
