Scrat the squirrel has a few nuts. When he put them in groups of 5 nuts, two nuts were left, and
when he laid them out in groups of 3 nuts, there were no nuts left. How many nuts among the
options provided below could belong to Scrat?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The options are not shown, so i will solve this in a general way.

Let's suppose that there are N nuts

If we divide the N nuts into groups of 5, there will be a remainder of 2 nuts.

If we divide the N nuts into groups of 3, there is no remainder.

This means taht N is a multiple of 3. then we can write:

N = 3*k

where k is a random integer.

Now, we know that when we divide N by 5, there is a remainder of 2 nuts, this means that N is equal to a multiple of 5 plus 2, then we can write:

N = 5*j + 2

where j is a random integer.

Now we only need to find a pair of k and j (both positive integers) such that:

3*k = 5*j + 2

We can rewrite this as:

k = (5/3)*j + (2/3)

Now we could just input different values of j, and see if k is also an integer:

j = 2

k = (5/3)*2 + 2/3 = 10/3 + 2/3 = 12/3 = 4

Then the pair j = 2, k = 4 is a possible solution.

N = 3*k = 3*4 = 12

N = 5*j + 2 = 5*2 + 2 = 12

From this we can conclude that N = 12, so Scrat has 12 nuts.

Now with the equation

k = (5/3)*j + (2/3)

We can find other possible combinations of j and k, that will give different values for N.

for example, if j = 5:

k = (5/3)*5 + 2/3 = 25/3 + 2/3 = 27/3 = 9

Then the pair j = 5, k = 9 is also a possible solution:

N = 3*k = 3*9 =  27

N = 5*j + 2 = 5*5 + 2 = 27

In this case, Scrat has 27 nuts.

the robots are powered on coffee alone. they use two bags of coffee each day.how long will 1/4 bag last?

Answers

Answer:

One robot will be powered for an eighth of a day (1/8 of a day) by one quarter (1/4) of a bag of coffee.

Answer: 3 hours

Explanation: There are 24 hours in a day, and the robots use 2 bags of coffee a day, so you gotta do 24/2 and that means 1 bag of coffee lasts 12 hours. Next, the question is how long does 1/4 bag last, so you do 12/4 and get 3, therefore the correct answer is 3 hours. Hope this helped!

A quadratic function models the graph of a parabola. The quadratic functions, y = x2 and y = x2 + 3, are modeled in the graphs of the parabolas shown below. Determine which situations best represent the scenario shown in the graph of the quadratic functions, y = x2 and y = x2 + 3. Select all that apply. From x = -2 to x = 0, the average rate of change for both functions is negative For the quadratic function, y = x2, the coordinate (2, 3) is a solution to the equation of the function. The quadratic function, y = x2 + 3, has an x-intercept at the origin The quadratic function, y = x2, has an x-intercept at the origin From x = -2 to x = 0, the average rate of change for both functions is positive For the quadratic function, y = x2 + 3, the coordinate (2, 7) is a solution to the equation of the function.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From x = -2 to x = 0, the average rate of change for both functions is negative

The quadratic function, y = x2, has an x-intercept at the origin

For the quadratic function, y = x2 + 3, the coordinate (2, 7) is a solution to the equation of the function.

those 3 are good

The quadratic function, y = x², has an x-intercept at the origin is, TRUE

And, The quadratic function, y = x² + 3, has an x-intercept at the origin is, FALSE

From x = -2 to x = 0, the average rate of change for both functions is positive is, FALSE

What is mean by Function?

A relation between a set of inputs having one output each is called a function. and an expression, rule, or law that defines a relationship between one variable (the independent variable) and another variable (the dependent variable).

Now, We have;

When viewing a graph, you start from the left and go to right and from left to right from -2 to 0 the graph is declining.

Hence, From x = -2 to x = 0, the average rate of change for both functions is negative is true.

And, Both are declining if you read the graph from left to right.

For the quadratic function, y = x², the coordinate (2, 3) is a solution to the equation of the function is false.

y = x²

If we insert 2 into y = x² we get y = 4 but our point (2, 3) has y = 3

For the quadratic function, y = x² + 3, the coordinate (2, 7) is a solution to the equation of the function is true.

If we insert 2 for x, we see that;

⇒  y = x² + 3

⇒  y = 2² + 3

⇒  y = 7

And, our y value in the point (2, 7) is 7.

A roofer leaned a 16-foot ladder against a house. If the base of the ladder is 5 feet from the house, how high up the house does the ladder reach?

Answers

Answer:

15.20feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the ladder = 16foot (hypotenuse)

BAse of the ladder from the house = 5feet (adjacent)

height of the house = x (opposite)

Using the pythagoras theorem

hyp^2 = opp^2 + adj^2

16^2 = 5^2 + opp^2

256 = 25 + opp^2

opp^2 = 256-25

opp^2 = 231

opp =√231

opp = 15.20

Hence the house is 15.20feet high up the house
