In the past 4 months, Alex has lost 8 pounds, gained 9 pounds, lost 2 pounds, and lost another 6 pounds. Find his total change in weight.
please provide with strategies!! ❤️​

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Overall, Alex lost 7 pounds

=============================================================

Explanation:

Draw a vertical number line. Let's say we start at 0 on the number line. Zero means no net change (he doesn't gain weight, nor does he lose weight either).

Losing 8 pounds means we go down 8 units. Think of it like being at the ground level and then going down 8 floors to the basement level of a large building (eg: parking garage maybe).

After this movement, we're at -8 on the number line. Then move up 9 units to arrive at +1 or just 1 on the number line. So Alex has gained those 8 pounds back to his original weight, plus an extra pound. So that's why -8+9 = 1.

Then move down 2 units to get to -1. Lastly, from -1 move 6 units down to get to -7.

So overall, Alex has lost 7 pounds when everything is said and done.

Refer to the diagram below. We start at point A, move to point B after losing 8 pounds, then to C when gaining 9 pounds, and so on until we get to point E. Point E is at -7 on the vertical number line to represent that he lost 7 pounds.

----------------

We can think of it in another way:

add up all the losses to get

loss of 8 + loss of 2 + loss of 6 = loss of 16

So he lost 16 pounds if we ignore the "gained 9 pounds", but we have to account for that. So we'll take 9 away from 16 to get 16-9 = 7.

Overall, Alex lost 7 pounds.

In The Past 4 Months, Alex Has Lost 8 Pounds, Gained 9 Pounds, Lost 2 Pounds, And Lost Another 6 Pounds.

An object is launched from a platform. its height in meters X seconds after the launch is modeled by h(x)=-5x^2+20x+60 how many seconds after launch Will the object land on the ground

Answers

Answer:

6 seconds after launch.

Step-by-step explanation:

You should make sure  there aren't odd symbols in your question when you post it.

Assuming it is just the equation -5x^2 + 20x + 60, if you graph it you can see the path of the ball.  at x=0 this is the starting point It then hits the ground when it touches the x axis.  So this is finding zeroes of a quadratic.

You could do this several ways; find a way to factor it, guess and check, the quadratic formula or completing the square.  I will complete the square as that is what I am most used to.  If you would like to see another let me know.

The first step in completing the square is making sure the x^2 has a coefficient of 1, so now it has -5 so we have to factor out -5 from the equation.

-5x^2+20x+60 = -5(x^2 - 4x - 12)

Now you only really need to focus on the factored expression, but I will continue writing everything.  The next step is to find (b/2)^2 where b is the coefficient of the x term.  In this case -4.  so (b/2)^2 = (-4/2)^2 = 4.

Again, focusing on x^2 - 4x - 12 you want to add and subtract (b/2)^2 from that expression.  since you are adding and subtracting you are not changing the value, but we can use this.

-5(x^2 - 4x - 12) = -5(x^2 - 4x - 12 + 4 - 4)

Here you want to rearrange it a bit.  Originally c was the constant term, -12, now you want it to be the positive (b/2)^2, which is positive 4. also you can combine the two other constant terms.  the original c and -(b/2)^2, but I will hold off for now so I don't do too much at once.

-5(x^2 - 4x - 12 + 4 - 4) = -5(x^2 - 4x + 4 - 12 - 4)

Now you focus on x^2 - 4x + 4.  Hope fully you recognize this is the same as (x-2)^2.  This always happens at this step of the process.  also notice -2 = b/2.  Using only variables here are the first steps.

ax^2 + bx + c

a(x^2 + (b/a)x + (c/a))

a(x^2 + (b/a)x + (c/a) + (b/(2a))^2 - (b/(2a)^2)

a(x^2 + (b/a)x + (b/(2a))^2 + (c/a) - (b/(2a))^2)

a((x + b/(2a))^2 + (c/a) - (b/(2a))^2)

Again, being able to make x^2 - 4x + 4 into (x-2)^2 or x^2 + (b/a)x + (b/(2a))^2 into (x + b/(2a))^2 willa lways happen.  this is because if you expand (x + b/(2a))^2 you always get x^2 + (b/a)x + (b/(2a))^2.

Now I would combine the -12-4

-5(x^2 - 4x + 4 - 12 - 4) = -5((x - 2)^2 - 12 - 4) = -5((x - 2)^2 - 16)

If you redistribute the -5 you get vertex form, but I am going to stop here  because I will just undo that in the next step.  So this is the form you want.  Finally we can find when it equals 0.  So, you set this equal to 0 and use algebra to solve.

-5((x - 2)^2 - 16) = 0

Divide both sides by -5

(x-2)^2 - 16 = 0

add 16 to both sides

(x-2)^2 = 16

Take the square root of both sides, but also count botht he positive and negative version of the answer.  the reason is both 2 and -2 squared get you 4.

x - 2 = +/-4

I am using +/- to indicate I am using both positive and negative 4.  Now though add 2 to both sides.  since you have +/- 4 you are going to get two different results.  -4+2 and 4+2

x = -2 and 6.

now, the question wants times after x=0 (the start) so you only get 6.  so x=6, or in other words 6 seconds after launch.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Given:

The table of value and y is inversely proportional to square of x.

To find:

The value of c and d.

Solution:

It is given that y is inversely proportional to square of x. So,

[tex]y\propto \dfrac{1}{x^2}[/tex]

[tex]y=k\dfrac{1}{x^2}[/tex]               ...(i)

Where, k is the contant of proportionality.

From the given table it is clear that [tex]y=4[/tex] and [tex]x=3[/tex]. Putting these values in (i), we get

[tex]4=k\dfrac{1}{3^2}[/tex]

[tex]4=\dfrac{k}{9}[/tex]

[tex]4\times 9=k[/tex]

[tex]36=k[/tex]

Putting [tex]k=36[/tex] in (i), we get

[tex]y=36\dfrac{1}{x^2}[/tex]

[tex]y=\dfrac{36}{x^2}[/tex]             ...(ii)

Putting [tex]x=5,y=c[/tex] in (ii), we get

[tex]c=\dfrac{36}{(5)^2}[/tex]

[tex]c=\dfrac{36}{25}[/tex]

Putting [tex]x=d,y=2[/tex] in (ii), we get

[tex]2=\dfrac{36}{d^2}[/tex]

[tex]d^2=\dfrac{36}{2}[/tex]

[tex]d^2=18[/tex]

Taking square root on both sides, we get

[tex]d=\pm \sqrt{18}[/tex]

[tex]d=\pm 3\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Therefore, the required values are [tex]c=\dfrac{36}{25}[/tex] and [tex]d=\pm 3\sqrt{2}[/tex].

Katrina drinks 0.5 gallons of water per day which expression shows how to find the number of cups of water she drinks in a week there are 16 cups in I

Answers

Answer:

56 cups of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Katrina drinks 0.5 gallons of water per day

We have 7 days in a week, hence, the number of gallons of water she drinks per week is calculated as:

1 day = 0.5 gallons

7 days = x

Cross Multiply

1 day × x = 7 days × 0.5 gallons

x = 7 days × 0.5 gallons/1 day

x = 3.5 gallons

Note that 16 cups = 1 gallon

The number of cups of water she drinks per week is

1 gallon = 16 cups

3.5 gallons = x

Cross Multiply

1 gallons × x = 3.5 gallons × 16 cups

x = 3.5 gallons × 16 cups/1 gallons

x = 56 cups

Therefore, Katrina drinks 56 cups of water in a week

Answers

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete; However, one can deduce from the options that the question refers to percentage change.

I will give two illustrations that shows how to calculate percentage change.

Illustration 1

Consider goods x with the following price change.

[tex]Old = \$45[/tex]

[tex]New = \$55[/tex]

The percentage change is:

[tex]\%Change = \frac{New - Old}{Old} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\%Change = \frac{55-45}{45} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\%Change = \frac{10}{45} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\%Change = \frac{1000}{45} \%[/tex]

[tex]\%Change = 22.22\%[/tex]

This means there is a 22.22% increase

Illustration 2

Consider goods x with the following price change.

[tex]Old = \$45[/tex]

[tex]New = \$35[/tex]

The percentage change is:

[tex]\%Change = \frac{New - Old}{Old} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\%Change = \frac{35-45}{45} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\%Change = \frac{-10}{45} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\%Change = -\frac{1000}{45} \%[/tex]

[tex]\%Change = -22.22\%[/tex]

The negative sign indicates percentage decrease

So, this means there is a 22.22% decrease

Population since 2000 has been approximately linear. In 2006 the population was 1148 and in 2014 the population was 1348. What is the rate of population growth?

Answers

Answer:

2.03% Rate of Population Growth.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

Given, In 2006 the population was 1148 and in 2014 the population was 1348.

2006⇒2014  (8 Years)

So, [tex]1148 * (1+\frac{x}{100} )^{8} = 1348[/tex]

[tex](1+\frac{x}{100} ) = \sqrt[8]{1.1742}[/tex]

(1 + x/100) = 1.0202

x/100 = 0.020276

x = 2.03% Rate of Population Growth

–6(2 + a) = –48 please answer

Answers

Answer:

a = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

–6(2 + a) = –48

Divide each side by -6

–6(2 + a) / -6 = –48/-6

2+a = 8

Subtract 2 from each side

2+a-2 = 8-2

a = 6

-6(2 + a) = -48

The -6 can be distributed.

-12 - 6a = -48
-6a = -48 + 12
-6a/-6 = -36/-6

Double negatives make a positive.

a = 6

The vertex of this parabola is at (-5, 4). Which of the following could be its
equation?

Answers

Answer:

A. y = -(x + 5)^2 + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

After a small online search, I've found that the options are:

A. y = -(x + 5)^2 + 4

B. y = -(x - 5)^2 + 4

C. y = -(x + 5)^2 - 4

D. y = -(x - 5)^2 - 4

For a quadratic equation with a vertex at the point (h, k) is written as:

y = a*(x - h)^2 + k

Where a is the leading coefficient.

So, if here we have the vertex at (-5, 4)

y = a*(x - (-5))^2 + 4

y = a(x + 5)^2 + 4

Then the correct option is the first one, where a = -1, then the correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

First step, look at the diagram and you see that you have a sphere and a cone.

The total surface area of a sphere is

[tex]A = 4\pi r^{2} \\A = 4\pi 39^{2} \\A = 19,113[/tex]

Since you only have half of a sphere, the surface area is 9,556.5

The surface area of the cone is

[tex]A = pi r(r+\sqrt{h^{2}+r^{2} }) A = \pi39(39+\sqrt{42^{2} +39^{2} } \\A=11,800[/tex]

You don't need the bottom of the cone however as it is connected to the half sphere.

So substract the area of a circle with a radius of 39 from the product of 19,113 + 11,800

The area of the circle is 4,778
