Let's convert each statement into mathematical terms.

Pineapple = p

Orange = x

is indicates equality

 

Pineapple has a weight that is 7 times that of an orange:  p = 7x

Pineapple is 870 grams heavier than the orange. p = 870 + x

 

Insert  p = 7x  into the second equation:

7x = 870 + x

Subtract  x from both sides

6x = 870

Divide by 6

x = 145

 

The weight of the orange is 145 grams.

The weight of the pineapple is 7 times that of the orange = 7(145) = 1015 grams.

How does the graph of mc024-1.jpg compare to the graph of the parent function mc024-2.jpg?
babunello [11329]
The question is as follows:
<span>In what ways does the graph of g(x)=1/x-5+2 differ from the graph of the parent function f(x)=1/x?
</span>
=================================================
Solution:
========
The given function ⇒ g(x) = \frac{1}{x-5} +2

The parent function of the provided function ⇒ f(x)= \frac{1}{x}

After graphing both equations, as illustrated in the attached image.
It can be concluded that
<span>g(x) is translated 5 units to the right and 2 units upwards from f(x).
</span>

Thus, the correct answer is option 2

Find three solutions for the linear equation 4x −3y = 1, and plot the solutions as points on a coordinate plane.
lawyer [12118]

Answer:

(1, 1), (2, 2.333) and (3, 3.666).

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, we can select various values for x and then compute the corresponding y values.

<pFor instance, when x = 1, we find:

4*1 - 3y = 1

3y = 3

y = 1

When x = 2, we discover:

4*2 - 3y = 1

3y = 7

y = 2.333

Then for x = 3, we have:

4*3 - 3y = 1

3y = 11

y = 3.666

Therefore, the coordinates we will plot are (1, 1), (2, 2.333), and (3, 3.666).

Refer to the attached image for the plot.

The probability that an individual is left-handed is 0.12. in a class of 39 students, what is the probability of finding five le
Svet_ta [12294]

We start with the following information:

p = probability = 0.12<span>
n = total number of students = 39 </span>

x = number of left-handers = 5<span>
u = mean = p * n = 4.68
σ = standard deviation = √(n*p*(1-p)) = √(39 * 0.12 * 0.88) = 2.03</span>

Finding the z score:

z = (x – u) / σ

<span> z = (5 – 4.68) / 2.03
</span>

z = 0.1576 = 0.16

<span>

</span>Applying standard tables for z gives the p value as:

p value = 0.5636 = 56.36%

 

Consequently, there is a 56.36% probability.
