@mikewwe13 n represents years after 2007 so 1 year after 2007, it's 2008 2 years after 2006, it's 2009 3 years after 2006, it's 2010 therefore, when it's 2010, n = 3

Vocaloid:

so let n = 3 and calculate f(n) = 1200n + 3500 = ?

1 year ago
mikewwe13:

100(12n + 35)

1 year ago
Vocaloid:

n = 3 means you can replace "n" with 3 when 3 shows up write this f(n) = 1200*n + 3500 replace "n" with 3 then solve.

1 year ago
mikewwe13:

f(3) = 1200n + 3500 = f = 400n + 3500/3

1 year ago
Vocaloid:

just ignore the f(n) part for now

1 year ago
Vocaloid:

1200*n + 3500 = ?

mikewwe13:

what about the x with n ?

1 year ago
Vocaloid:

there is no x here

1 year ago
Vocaloid:

write this down 1200*n + 3500 = ? replace "n" with 3 then figure out what the expression is equal to

Vocaloid:

p(5) = 68 means that x = 5 and p(5) = 68, which means that the percentage of people who owned a smartphone 5 years after 2011 is 68%

Vocaloid:

what year is it, if it is 5 years after 2011?

Each day, Ben wants to consume at least 350 grams of protein and carbohydrates combined. He also wants the amount of carbohydrates he consumes to be no more than 3 times the amount of protein. Part B Which combinations allows Ben to consume at least 350 grams of protein and carbohydrates combined while limiting the carbohydrates to no more than 3 times the amount of protein ? Select all that apply. A. 70 grams of protein and 270 grams of carbohydrates B. 75 grams of protein and 275 grams of carbohydrates C. 80 grams of protein and 260 grams of carbohydrates D. 90 grams of protein and 270 grams of carbohydrates E. 100 grams of protein and 290 grams of carbohydrates

Vocaloid:

for each letter choice, add the grams of protein and carbohydrates for example, for A, add 70 and 270 repeat this process for each letter and let me know what you get use a template like this: A = 70 + 270 = 340

340

good, keep going for B, C, D, E, etc.

good, so if we want the sum of the grams to be ~at least~ 350, we can eliminate one letter. Which letter has a sum less than 350?

now, we want the grams of carbohydrates to be less than 3 times the grams of protein for B, D, and E, calculate: 3 * grams of protein

90

good, and 90*3 = ?

270

good so B = 225g D = 270g E = 300g so we want these numbers to be less than the carbohydrate numbers

1 year ago
Vocaloid:

*sorry, greater than

now, for B, there are 275g carbs D = 270g carbs E = 290 g carbs let's compare them side by side

B: 225g protein vs 275g carbs is protein or carbs bigger?

mikewwe13:

carbs is bigger

1 year ago

good, so B cannot be one of the choices

1 year ago
Vocaloid:

let's check D 270g protein vs 270g carbs they're equal, so D works as an answer lets check E

300g protein vs 270 carbs is protein or carbs bigger?
