Liz is collecting aluminum cans for a school fundraiser. So far, she has collected 16 cans, which is 20% of her goal. How many cans must she collect to reach her goal?Parts A & B
Answers
Given the word problem, we can deduce the following information:
1. Liz collected 16 cans, which is 20% of her goal.
To determine the number of cans that Liz needs to collect to reach her goal, we use below equation:
[tex]0.20x=16[/tex]where:
x= total number of cans that Liz needs to collect
So,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 0.20x=16 \\ \text{Simplify} \\ x=\frac{16}{0.20} \\ x=80 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the total number of cans is 80.
A.
To complete the double number line, we must determine first the other percent values. It the goal is 100%, we must subtract 20% from 100% and divide it by 4 to get the remaining percent values. So,
[tex]\frac{100-20}{4}=20[/tex]So the other percent values are:
0%
20%
20%+20%=40%
40%+20%=60%
60%+20%=80%
80%+20%=100%
To determine the amount of cans for each percent value,the process is shown below:
[tex]80(\frac{40}{100})=32[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} 80(.6)=48 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]80(.8)=64[/tex][tex]80(\frac{100}{100})=80[/tex]Therefore, the answer for double number line is:
Cans : 0 16 32 48 64 80
Percent : 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100%
B.
Based on the information gathered from A, for every 16 cans Liz collects, she adds 20% toward her goal. She will have 32 cans if she reaches 40% of her goal. Liz must collect 80 cans to reach her goal.

What are Vertical Stretches and Shrinks?
While translations move the x and y intercepts of a base graph, stretches and shrinks effectively pull the base graph outward or compress the base graph inward, changing the overall dimensions of the base graph without altering its shape. When a graph is stretched or shrunk vertically, the x -intercepts act as anchors and do not change under the transformation.
This can be explained further as:

Round to 4 decimal places. a) Find a linear model for the data in the graph at the left. Include units to your variables. b) Find a cosine model for the data in the graph to the right. Include units to your variables,
Answers
A) Given the points (1,18.35) and (29,17.5), we can find the linear model with the following formulas:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{slope:} \\ m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{71.5-18.35}{29-1}=\frac{-0.85}{28}=-0.03 \\ \text{equation of the line:} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\ \Rightarrow y-18.35=-0.03(x-1)=-0.03x+0.03 \\ \Rightarrow y=-0.03x+0.03+18.35=-0.03x+18.38 \\ y=-0.03x+18.38 \end{gathered}[/tex]therefore, the linear model is y = -0.03x+18.38
B)We have the general cosine model:
[tex]y(t)=A+B\cos (\omega(t-\phi))[/tex]Where A is the vertical shift, B is the amplitude, w is the frequency and phi is the phase shift.
First, we can find the vertical shift with the following formula:
[tex]A=\frac{y_{\max }+y_{\min }}{2}[/tex]in this case, we have that the maximum value for y is 19.47 and the minimum value for y is16.18, then:
[tex]A=\frac{19.47+16.18}{2}=17.825[/tex]next, we can find the amplitud with the following formula:
[tex]B=y_{\max }-A[/tex]We have then:
[tex]B=19.47-17.825=1.645[/tex]Now, notice that the graph will repeat every 356 values for t, then, for the frequency we have the following expression:
[tex]\omega=\frac{2\pi}{356}=\frac{\pi}{178}[/tex]To find the phase shift, notice that for the point (172,19.47), we have the following:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y(172)=19.47 \\ \Rightarrow17.825+1.645\cos (\frac{\pi}{178}(172-\phi))=19.47 \\ \Rightarrow1.645\cos (\frac{\pi}{178}(172-\phi))=1.645 \\ \Rightarrow\cos (\frac{\pi}{178}(172-\phi))=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]notice that if the cosine equals 1, then its argument must equal to 0, then, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{\pi}{178}(172-\phi)=0 \\ \Rightarrow172-\phi=0 \\ \Rightarrow\phi=172 \end{gathered}[/tex]we have that the phase shift is phi = 172, then, the final cosine model is:
[tex]y(x)=17.825+1.465\cos (\frac{\pi}{178}(x-172))[/tex]6. Write a quadratic function whose graph has a vertex of (-4,-2) and passes through the point (-3,1).

Answers
Question:
There are 9.75 ounces of Cinnamon Toast Crunch in a bowl. Additional cereal is poured into the bowl at a rate of 1.5 ounces per second. How many ounces are in the bowl after 3 seconds?
Solution:
If additional cereal is poured into the bowl at a rate of 1.5 ounces per second, then in 3 seconds the additional cereal into the bowl is 1.5x 3 = 4.5 ounces. Thus after 3 seconds, the bowl has the original amount that it already had and the new aggregate:
9.75 ounces + 4.5 ounces = 14.25
then, the correct answer is:
14.25
Use the figures to estimate the area under the curve for the given function using four rectangles.
Answers
To calculate the area for the upper (left) graph, we can use x = 1, 2, 3 and 4 to find the upper limit of each rectangle:
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(1)=\frac{3}{1}+3=6\\ \\ f(2)=\frac{3}{2}+3=4.5\\ \\ f(3)=\frac{3}{3}+3=4\\ \\ f(4)=\frac{3}{4}+3=3.75 \end{gathered}[/tex]Since the x-interval of each rectangle is 1 unit, the area of each rectangle is given by its y-value, so we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=f(1)+f(2)+f(3)+f(4)\\ \\ A=6+4.5+4+3.75=18.25 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, for the bottom (right) graph, the limits of the rectangles are x = 2, 3, 4 and 5.
So, let's find the value of f(5):
[tex]f(5)=\frac{3}{5}+3=3.6[/tex]So the area is given by:

We are given a rhombus shape.

Recall that in a rhombus, the oppsite angles are equal, this means ∠1 = ∠2
So, ∠2 = 160°
Recall that the sum of all four interior angles in a rhombus must be equal to 360°
The diagonal line divides the angles in half.
This means that angle 3 and angle x are equal.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 160\degree+160\degree+2(\angle3+x)=360\degree_{} \\ 320\degree+2(\angle3+x)=360\degree \\ 2(\angle3+x)=360\degree-320\degree \\ 2(\angle3+x)=40\degree \\ \angle3+x=\frac{40\degree}{2} \\ \angle3+x=20\degree \end{gathered}[/tex]Since we know that ∠3 and ∠x are equal then
∠3 = 10° and ∠x = 10°
Therefore,
∠2 = 160°
∠3 = 10°

The graph points that make up the parabola-shaped shape of this set of data are given. The parabola's equation is written as y = ax² + bx + c, where a never equals zero.
For data presented as ordered pairs, you can calculate the model's degree by identifying differences between dependent values. The model will be linear if the initial difference has the same value. The model will be quadratic if the second difference has the same value as the first.

Answers
Given the word problem, we can deduce the following information.
1. Two planes, which are 2320 miles apart, fly toward each other.
2. Their speeds differ by 80 mph.
3. They pass each other in 4 hours.
To find the speed of each plane, we use the formula:
distance = (rate)(time)
Since they are flying towards each other, the sum of both speeds is 2x+80. So,
distance = (rate)(time)
2320 miles = (2x+80 mph)(4 hrs)
Thus, the equation to solve this is:
2320 = (2x+80)(4)
