28.6% of city employees ride the bus to work. Last year, 29.7% of city employees rode the bus to work. What is the relative change from last year to this year?
(Express your answer rounded correctly to the nearest tenth of a percent!)

Answers

Answer 1

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. The relative change from last year to this year is 3.7%.

What are Percentages?

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25 which is equal to 25%.

To convert a fraction to a percentage, convert the fraction to decimal form and then multiply by 100 with the '%' symbol.

28.6% of city employees ride the bus to work, therefore, the final value is 28.6. While Last year, 29.7% of city employees rode the bus to work, therefore, the initial value is 29.7.

Since relative change means change with respect to some value. Thus, the relative value with respect to last year is,

Relative value = (29.7-28.6)/29.7 = 0.037 = 3.7%

Hence, the relative change from last year to this year is 3.7%.

A cone has a volume of 350 cubic meters. The area of the base is 70 square meters. What is the height of the cone? Show work

Answers

Answer: The height is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Vcone =  pi * r^2 * h  / 3

Area of the base  =  pi*r^2  = 70   so...

350  = 70 * h / 3  

350  = (70/3) * h     multiply both sides by 3/70

Part B: How much time does Eric spend playing volleyball every day? Show your work. (3 points)

Part C: Is it possible for Eric to have spent 35 minutes playing basketball if he plays for a total of exactly 95 minutes and plays basketball for 25 minutes longer than he plays volleyball? Explain your reasoning. (2 points)

Answers

Eric spend 60 minutes for basketball and 35 minutes for volleyball.

What is Linear Equation?

An equation that has the highest degree of 1 is known as a linear equation. This means that no variable in a linear equation has an exponent more than 1. The graph of a linear equation always forms a straight line.

Here, let Eric plays basketball for x minutes.

          and volleyball for y minutes.

Total time spend on playing basketball and volleyball everyday = 95 minutes.

Duration of Basketball 25 minutes more than volleyball

Now, according to question,

          x + y = 95        ..........(i)

          x - 25 = y          ...........(ii)

On solving equation (i) and (ii), we get

        x + x - 25 = 95

           2x = 95 + 25

           2x = 120

            x = 120 / 2

            x = 60

put value of x in equation (ii), we get

        60 - 25 = y

          y = 35

Yes, it is possible and clearly described in above calculation.

Thus, Eric spend 60 minutes for basketball and 35 minutes for volleyball.

( Math ) Please explain how you got this answer! Please use substitution method!

Answers

Answer:

y = 1

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

During the substitution method, you are substituting one function into another. Because both functions are set equal to "x", you can make the functions equal each other. This allows you to 'get rid' of the "x" variable and simplify to find the value of "y".

5A) x = -2y

5B) x = 2 - 4y

-2y = 2 - 4y                     <----- Set both equations equal

2y = 2                             <----- Add 4y to both sides

y = 1                                <----- Divide both sides by 2

Now that you know what "y" equals, you can plug that value into the "y" variable into one of the equations. This will allow you to then simplify and find the answer for "x".

x = -2y                             <----- Equation 5A

x = -2(1)                           <----- Plug 1 into "y"

x = -2                              <----- Multiply -2 and 1

How do you figure out the equation to graph it

g(x)=(x-1)^2-1

Answers

Answer:

Graph of the given equation is a opening up parabola passing through origin (0,0) and (2,0) and having vertex (1,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

parabola - it is a plane curve generated by a point moving so that its distance from a fixed point is equal to its distance from a fixed line.

vertex - The vertex of a parabola is the point at the intersection of the parabola and its line of symmetry.

the given equation can be resolved as:

[tex]g(x)=(x-1)^2-1\\g(x) = x^2 -2x +1 -1\\g(x) = x^2 - 2x[/tex]

now substituting x = 0,

[tex]g(x) = x^2 - 2x\\g(x) = (0)^2- 2(0)\\g(x) = 0[/tex]

therefore the equation satisfies the point (0,0)that is origin.

now putting g(x) = 0,

[tex]g(x) = x^2 - 2x\\0 = x^2- 2x\\2x = x^2\\2=x[/tex]

so when y coordinate is 0 x coordinate is 2,

therefore the equation also satisfies the (2,0)

general equation of a parabola is

[tex]f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c[/tex]

and the vertex of the parabola is given by  [tex]\frac{-b}{2a}{,}{f{(}\frac{-b}{2a}{)}}[/tex]

given equation of parabola [tex]g(x) = x^2 - 2x[/tex]

here a = 1 and b= -2

substituting in the vertex formula,

vertex of the parabola is [tex]{(}{1}{,}{f{(}{1}{)}}{)}[/tex]

[tex]f(1) = 1 - 2 = -1[/tex]

therefore the vertex is (1,-1).

so the parabola is passing through origin(0,0) and (2,0) with vertex (1,-1).

calculus piecewise function. ​

Answers

Part A

The notation [tex]\lim_{x \to 2^{+}}f(x)[/tex] means that we're approaching x = 2 from the right hand side (aka positive side). This is known as a right hand limit.

So we could start at say x = 2.5 and get closer to 2 by getting to x = 2.4 then to x = 2.3 then 2.2, 2.1, 2.01, 2.001, etc

We don't actually arrive at x = 2 itself. We simply move closer and closer.

Since we're on the positive or right hand side of 2, this means we go with the rule involving x > 2

Therefore f(x) = (x/2) + 1

Plug in x = 2 to find that...

f(x) = (x/2) + 1

f(2) = (2/2) + 1

f(2) = 2

This shows [tex]\lim_{x \to 2^{+}}f(x) = 2[/tex]

Then for the left hand limit [tex]\lim_{x \to 2^{-}}f(x)[/tex], we'll involve x < 2 and we go for the first piece. So,

f(x) = 3-x

f(2) = 3-2

f(2) = 1

Therefore, [tex]\lim_{x \to 2^{-}}f(x) = 1[/tex]

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

Part B

Because [tex]\lim_{x \to 2^{+}}f(x) \ne \lim_{x \to 2^{-}}f(x)[/tex] this means that the limit [tex]\lim_{x \to 2}f(x)[/tex] does not exist.

If you are a visual learner, check out the graph below of the piecewise function. Notice the gap or disconnect at x = 2. This can be thought of as two roads that are disconnected. There's no way for a car to go from one road to the other. Because of this disconnect, the limit doesn't exist at x = 2.

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

Part C

You'll follow the same type of steps shown in part A.

However, keep in mind that x = 4 is above x = 2, so we'll deal with x > 2 only.

So you'd only involve the second piece f(x) = (x/2) + 1

You should find that f(4) = 3, and that both left and right hand limits equal this value. The left and right hand limits approach the same y value. The limit does exist here. There are no gaps to worry about when x = 4.

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

Part D

As mentioned earlier, since [tex]\lim_{x \to 4^{+}}f(x) = \lim_{x \to 4^{-}}f(x) = 3[/tex], this means the limit [tex]\lim_{x \to 4}f(x)[/tex] does exist and it's equal to 3.

As x gets closer and closer to 4, the y values are approaching 3. This applies to both directions.

In a certain Algebra 2 class of 26 students, 16 of them play basketball and 9 of them
play baseball. There are 5 students who play both sports. What is the probability that
a student chosen randomly from the class plays basketball or baseball?

Answers

Answer:

.7692307692 or 10/26

Step-by-step explanation:

You solve this problem by finding the total number of sports playing students and dividing it by the total, in this case 26. Since we know there are 5 students that play both sports, you subtract that 5 from the total number of basketball plyers and baseball players, so 16-5=11 and 9-5=4, then add those together, so 11+4=15. From there you add back in the students that play both which is 5, so 15+5=20. 20/26 is your answer.

which function has an asymptote at x=5 and an x-intercept of (6,0)?

Answers

The function is f(x) = log(x - 5).

What is Asymptotes?

A line or curve that acts as the limit of another line or curve.

The complete question is

Which function has an asymptote at x = 5 and an x-intercept of (6,0)? a. f(x) = log(x − 5) b. f(x) = log(x 5) c. f(x) = log x − 5 d. f(x) = log x 5

let us take,

f(x) = log(x - 5)

y = 0, then

0 = log(x-5)

x - 5 = [tex]e^{0}[/tex]

x - 5 = 1

x = 6

So, it can be conclude that the x-intercept is at (6, 0)

Hence, the function is f(x) = log(x - 5).

Here, number of hours represents input value and minutes represents the output value,

Now, By the given table,

The function is passing through the points (1,60), (2,120), (3,180), (4,240) and (5,300),
