First let's do a quick table to help us, when we have S = 0 we cannot make any cookies, then N = 0. When we have one cup of sugar S = 1 we can make 30 cookies, then N = 30. For S = 2, which means, 2 cups of sugar we can make 60 cookies, and so on, then we can do a table like
Then we can see that the relation between N and S is 30, because N = 30.S, for each unit of S that we put we get 30 more cookies, then the equation is
[tex]N=30S[/tex]And if we want to solve it for S
[tex]S=\frac{N}{30}[/tex]Looking at the graph we can see that S is in the y-axis, therefore we are going to use the equation where we have S on the left side, which means, solved for S. Then we are going to plot the equation:
[tex]S=\frac{N}{30}[/tex]This equation is a line, a very simple graph! you can plot two points and then draw a line, for example, use the point (30,1) and (60,2), if we plot these points we get
Now we draw a line that connects these two points, and we have the graph!
Lynn got a $50 gift card to an online music store she uses the gift cards to buy an album for 9.99 she also wants to use the gift card to buy some songs. Each song cost 1.29. What equality is described the situation where n is the number of songs like monster by
ANSWER
B. 9.99 + 1.29n ≤ 50
EXPLANATION
The total amount of money she spends at the store has to be at most, the value of the gift card $50. This is the cost of the album, 9.99, and then 1.29 for each song. If the total number of songs is 'n', then for n songs, she'll spend 1.29n. In total she spends: 9.99 + 1.29n at the store. The equation is

Answer:
Corey stepped 59.71 ft away
Explanation:
The situation is sketched in the following diagram.
The distance from the foot of the tree is y and x for angles 41 and 68 degrees respectively.
Therefore, the distance Corey has to step away is y - x.
Now, from trigonometry, we know that
[tex]\tan (68^o)=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}[/tex][tex]\Rightarrow\tan (68^o)=\frac{\text{8}0}{\text{x}}[/tex]We solve for x and get
[tex]\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow x\tan (68^o)=80 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{80}{\tan (68^o)} \end{gathered}[/tex]since tan (68) = 2.475.., the above becomes
[tex]x=\frac{80}{2.75\ldots}=32.32[/tex]Now, for angle 41 we have
[tex]\tan (41^o)=\frac{opposite}{\text{adjacent}}[/tex][tex]\tan (41^o)=\frac{80}{y}[/tex]solving for y gives
[tex]y=\frac{80}{\tan (41^o)}[/tex]since tan(41) = 0.869..., the above becomes
[tex]y=\frac{80}{0.869\ldots}[/tex][tex]\Rightarrow y=92.0295\ldots[/tex]Therefore, the distance Corey has to step away from the tree to get a better view is (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

what is the value of x to the nearest tenth on problem 5
Answer:
Explanation:
In problem 5, we can see that there is a right triangle with legs x and 16 and a hypotenuse equal to (x + 8).
So, by Pythagorean theorem, we can write the following equation
[tex](x+8)^2=x^2+16^2[/tex]Now, we can expand the left side
[tex]\begin{gathered} x^2+2(8)(x)+8^2=x^2+16^2 \\ x^2+16x+64=x^2+256 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, subtract x² from both sides
[tex]\begin{gathered} x^2+16x+64-x^2=x^2+256-x^2 \\ 16x+64=256 \end{gathered}[/tex]Subtract 64 from both sides
[tex]\begin{gathered} 16x+64-64=256-64 \\ 16x=192 \end{gathered}[/tex]Finally, divide by 16
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{16x}{16}=\frac{192}{16} \\ \\ x=12 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the value of x is 12
PQR is a right triangle. If PQ=8, what is PR?
Sine formula

Marcus is playing dodge ball with hisfriends. He catches 2 out of every 5 ballsthrown in his direction. If he catches14 balls, how many balls were thrownat him?balls
Step 1
Given;
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Marcus is playing dodge ball with his friends.} \\ He\text{ catches 2 out of every 5 balls thrown in his direction.} \end{gathered}[/tex]Required; To find out how many balls are thrown at him if he catches 14 balls.
Step 2
There are two approaches to determine the number of balls thrown at Marcus
Approach 1
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Marcus catches 2 balls for every 5 balls thrown in his direction.} \\ we\text{ can draw up a table and add up 2 balls caught and 5 balls } \\ \text{thrown respectively until we arrive at 14 balls caught.} \end{gathered}[/tex]Draw the table;
we will now sum the total number of balls caught by Marcus and the total number of balls thrown at him to find out he had 35 balls thrown at him when 14 balls were caught by him.
Answer=35 balls
Approach 2
[tex]\begin{gathered} We\text{ will use the ratio} \\ \frac{2\text{ balls caught}}{14\text{ balls caught}}=\frac{5\text{ balls thrown }}{x\text{ balls thrown}} \\ \text{cross multiply} \\ 2x=5(14) \\ \text{simplify} \\ 2x=70 \\ \text{divide both sides by 2} \\ \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{70}{2} \\ x=35\text{ balls thrown} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, 35 balls were thrown at Marcus

4. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean difference in the number of milk cows (in thousands) between 2011 and 2015.
1. The hypothesis tested are given as follows: A. H0:μdiff=0 vs. Ha:μdiff≠0.
2.
The test statistic is of: t = 0.65.The p-value is of: 0.26603. Based on the p-value, we do not have enough evidence that the null model is not a good fit for our observed data.
4. The 99% confidence interval for the mean difference in the number of milk cows (in thousands) between 2011 and 2015 is of (-8.34, 12.54).
What are hypothesis tested?At the null hypothesis, it is tested if there has not been change, that is, if the mean is of zero, hence:
H0:μdiff=0
At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if there has been change, hence:
Ha: μdiff≠0
Considering a two-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is different of a value, with 10 - 1 = 9 df, and a significance level of 1 - 0.99 = 0.01, the critical value is of:
|t| = 3.25.
What is the test statistic?The test statistic for the t-distribution is given by the equation presented as follows:
[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
The parameters are:
[tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is the sample mean.[tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis.s is the standard deviation of the sample.n is the sample size.The parameters in this problem are given as follows:
[tex]\overline{x} = 2.1, s = 10.159, n = 10, \mu = 0[/tex]
Hence the test statistic is of:
[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{2.1 - 0}{\frac{10.159}{\sqrt{10}}}[/tex]
t = 0.65.
What are the p-value and the conclusion?Considering a two-tailed test, with t = 0.65 and 10 - 1 = 9 df, the p-value is of:
0.2660.
What is the confidence interval?The confidence interval is given as the estimate plus/minus the multiplication of the critical value and the standard error.
Hence the lower bound of the interval is of:
2.1 - 3.25x10.159/sqrt(10) = -8.34.
The upper bound of the interval is of:
2.1 + 3.25x10.159/sqrt(10) = 12.54.

Find the exponential function f(x)=Ca^x whose graph is given below.
Answer:
f(x) = 2[tex](\frac{1}{3}) ^{x}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
exponential in the form
f(x) = C[tex]a^{x}[/tex]
to find C and a use points from the graph
using (0, 2 ) , then
2 = C[tex]a^{0}[/tex] ( [tex]a^{0}[/tex] = 1 ) , so
C = 2
f(x) = 2[tex]a^{x}[/tex]
using (2, [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex] )
[tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex] = 2a² ( divide both sides by 2 )
[tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex] = a² ( take square root of both sides )
[tex]\sqrt{\frac{1}{9} }[/tex] = a ⇒ a = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

In 2015, t = 49 years , (that is, 1966 to 2015), and y = $8.75
The rate of growth to the nearest percent is
[tex]\text{Rate of growth =}\frac{y_2-y_1}{t_2-t_1}\times100[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Where y}_2=8.75,t_2=49\text{ years} \\ y_1=\text{ \$1.25},t_1=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]Substituting into the formula above, we get
[tex]\text{Rate of growth =}\frac{8.75-1.25}{49-0}\times100[/tex][tex]\text{Rate of growth = }\frac{7.5}{49}\times100=15.31\approx15\text{ \%}[/tex]Hence, the correct answer is 15%
Alexa read a total of 54 books over 9 months. If Alexa has read 120 books so far, how many months has she been with her book club? Assume the relationship is directly proportional.
If the relation between the book read by Alexa and the number of months she takes to read them is directly proportional, then, if x is the number of months she took to read 120 books, you can write:
[tex]\frac{x}{120}=\frac{9}{54}[/tex]By solving for x and simplifying, you obtain:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{9}{54}\cdot120 \\ x=20 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, Alexa read 120 books in 20 months
