Anthony was tracking the increasing number of animals in the zoo. at 9 a. m., there were 56 animals. at 11 a. m., there were 60 animals. if anthony made the function f(x) = 2x − 38, what would the 2 represent?

Here 2 represents the rate of change of animal per unit time or we can say the rate at which animals were increasing.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that for any linear function with the equation of the type:

y=f(x)=mx+c.

m represents the slope of the line or we can say it represents the rate of change of the function.

Anthony was tracking the increasing number of animals in the zoo. At 9 a.m., there were 56 animals. At 11 a.m., there were 60 animals.

Here we are given a equation as:

f(x)=2x-38.

So, here 2 represents the rate of change of animal per unit time or we can say the rate at which the animals were increasing.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
