Answer:

a) when converting 50 minutes into hours, we derive the fraction \dfrac{5}{6}

b) \text{Unit rate of turtle }=\dfrac{21}{20}  miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{7}{8}A turtle covers

of a mile over a time frame of 50 minutes.

To find the unit rate of the turtle in miles per hour, we establish that one hour consists of 60 minutes.

Distance =

miles

\dfrac{7}{8}Time = 50 minutes

1 minute =

hour

\dfrac{1}{60}50 minutes =

hours

\dfrac{1}{60}\times 50

\text{Unit rate of turtle }=\dfrac{7/8}{5/6}

\text{Unit rate of turtle }=\dfrac{21}{20}  miles per hour

Part a)

\text{Unit rate of turtle }=\dfrac{21}{20}  miles per hour

when converting 50 minutes to hours gives us the fraction \dfrac{5}{6}

Part b)

The turtle's unit rate is the proportion of distance traversed in relation to the time of hours.

\text{Unit rate of turtle }=\dfrac{21}{20}  miles per hour

Answer:

21/20

Step-by-step explanation:

a) One hour equals 60 minutes.

Therefore, we can convert 50 minutes into hours by multiplying by the fraction \frac{1 hour}{60 minutes}.

This results in:

50 minutes * \frac{1 hour}{60 minutes}=\frac{50}{60}hours

If we reduce the fraction, we obtain:

50 minutes = \frac{5}{6}hours

b) To determine the speed of the turtle in miles per hour, we need to divide

\frac{7}{8}miles by  \frac{5}{6}hours

Thus:

\frac{\frac{7}{8}miles }{\frac{5}{6}hours }

We simplify by calculating 7 miles multiplied by 6 and 8 by 5 hours:

\frac{\frac{7}{8}miles }{\frac{5}{6}hours}=\frac{42 miles}{40 hours} =\frac{21 miles}{20 hours}

A farmer estimates that he has 9,000 bees producing honey on his farm. The farmer becomes concerned when he realizes the populat
Inessa [12570]
To derive the function that characterizes the bee population:

1) Initially, there are 9,000 bees in the first year.

2) In the second year, a reduction of 5% occurs => 9,000 - 0.05 * 9,000 = 9,000 * (1 - 0.05) = 9,000 * 0.95

3) Each subsequent year sees a 5% decline => 9,000 * (0.95)^(number of years)

4) Let x represent years and f(x) signify the bee count, then: f(x) = 9,000 (0.95)^x.

Evaluation of the claims:

<span>1) The function f(x) = 9,000(1.05)x applies to the scenario.

FALSE: WE ESTABLISHED IT AS f(x) = 9,000 (0.95)^x

2) The function f(x) = 9,000(0.95)x applies to the scenario.

TRUE: THIS IS THE RESULT OF OUR PRIOR ANALYSIS.

3) After 2 years, the farmer projects approximately 8,120 bees will be left.

Calculating:

f(2) = 9,000 * (0.95)^2 = 9,000 * 0.9025 = 8,122

Thus, this statement is TRUE

4) After 4 years, the farmer can predict there will be roughly 1,800 bees left.

f(4) = 9,000 * (0.95)^4 = 9,000 * 0.81450625 = 7,330

This statement is therefore FALSE

5) The domain values contextual to this situation are restricted to whole numbers.

FALSE: DOMAIN VALUES INCLUDE ALL NON-NEGATIVE REAL NUMBERS. FOR INSTANCE, THE FUNCTION IS VALID AT X = 5.5

6) The range values pertinent to this situation are restricted to whole numbers.

TRUE: FRACTIONS OF BEES CANNOT EXIST.

lawyer [12517]
The time from 7:15 to 7:20 is 5 minutes
Since each minute equals 11 units, the total is 5x11=55
Starting from point 100, the new position would be 100+55=155
Final answer: point 155
I hope this is accurate and useful:)

Explain how to graph the given piecewise-defined function. Be sure to specify the type of endpoint each piece of the function wi
Zina [12379]

In certain cases, a function necessitates multiple formulas to achieve the desired outcome. An example is the absolute value function \displaystyle f\left(x\right)=|x|f(x)=∣x∣. This function applies to all real numbers and yields results that are non-negative, defining absolute value as the magnitude or modulus of a real number regardless of its sign. It indicates the distance from zero on the number line, requiring all outputs to be zero or greater.

<pwhen inputting="" a="" non-negative="" value="" the="" output="" remains="" unchanged:="">

\displaystyle f\left(x\right)=x\text{ if }x\ge 0f(x)=x if x≥0

<pwhen inputting="" a="" negative="" value="" the="" output="" is="" inverse:="">

\displaystyle f\left(x\right)=-x\text{ if }x<0f(x)=−x if x<0

Due to the need for two distinct operations, the absolute value function qualifies as a piecewise function: a function defined by several formulas for different sections of its domain.

Piecewise functions help describe scenarios where rules or relationships alter as the input crosses specific "boundaries." Business contexts often demonstrate this, such as when the cost per unit of an item decreases past a certain order quantity. The concept of tax brackets also illustrates piecewise functions. For instance, in a basic tax system where earnings up to $10,000 face a 10% tax, additional income incurs a 20% tax rate. Thus, the total tax on an income S would be 0.1S when \displaystyle {S}\leS≤ $10,000 and 1000 + 0.2 (S – $10,000) when S > $10,000.
