A young sumo wrestler decided to go on a special high-protein diet to gain weight rapidly. When he started his diet, he weighed 79.5 kilograms. He gained weight at a rate of 5.5 kilograms per month. Let y represent the sumo wrestler's weight (in kilograms) after x months. Which of the following could be the graph of the relationship? graph of an increasing linear function in quadrant 1 with a positive y-intercept (Choice B) B graph of an increasing linear function in quadrants 1 and 4 with a positive x-intercept and negative y-intercept (Choice C) C graph of a decreasing linear function in quadrants 1 and 4 with a positive x-intercept and positive y-intercept (Choice D) D graph of a decreasing linear function in quadrant 4 with a negative y-intercept

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

(Choice A) A graph of an increasing linear function in quadrant 1 with a positive y-intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of the sumo wrestler starts at a positive value of 79.5 kilograms, and we are given that the sumo wrestler gains a linear amount of weight per month at 5.5 kilograms per month.

If we were to graph this relationship, the sumo wrestler's weight would be represented on the y-axis, and the amount of time on the x-axis.

So the initial weight would occur at (0, 79.5) which is the positive y-intercept.

And since his weight is increasing at 5.5 kilograms per month, the slope of the linear function is positive.

Hence, the graph of the linear increasing function in quadrant 1 with a positive y-intercept.

Cheers.

A bill totalled 37.50 for the use of 125 minutes, what would the bill be if I used 175 minutes

Answers

125/37.50= 3.33R so if we take 3.33R and multiply it by 175 we would get 58.27. so i would assume that that would be the closest i can get to the answer. hope this helps!

80 plus what equals 44??

Answers

Answer:

The negative in the 36 allows it to be subtracted from 80

Answer:

80 + -36

Step-by-step explanation:

80 - 44 = 36

80 + -36 = 44

The Food and Drug Administration advises people against eating fish with mercury concentrations exceeding 1 part per million (ppm). Researchers wonder if the average mercury content of large-mouth bass in a certain state exceeds the limits and, thus, make such fish inedible. They randomly sample largemouth bass from randomly selected lakes in this state and record the amount of mercury in each fish. What is the correct parameter in this example

Answers

Answer:

The average amount of mercury in the population of large-mouth bass in this particular state

Step-by-step explanation:

Parameters are properties that describe entire populations rather than a sample. Therefore, since researchers are focused on the average mercury content of large-mouth bass, the correct parameter for the experiment would be the average amount of mercury in the population of large-mouth bass in this particular state.
