Looking around in your own country, discuss two practical applications in which “piecewise functions” are used either explicitly or implicitly
Answer:
Piecewise functions are functions that behave differently in different regions of the domain.
One example that you may see in your city is the case of the street illumination, such that can be modeled as:
x = time
Suppose that the lights are turned on at a given hour x0 and then turn off at the hour x1, we can define:
f(x) = 0 if x1 < x < x0
f(x) = 1 if x0 ≤ x ≤ x1
Where f(x) represents the intensity of the light at the time x.
Between x1 and x0, the lights are not working, so the illumination that they provide is zero.
Between x0 and x1 the lights are turned on, so the illumination is 1.
Another example can be the accurate description of the velocity of a car as a function of time.
For some pieces, the car will be stopped (maybe in a red light)
For some pieces, the car will be moving slow (maybe there is a lot of traffic)
For some pieces, the car will be moving fast or accelerating (in an empty street).
So we can define this motion as a piecewise function that obviously will depend on how the car moves.
A local little league has a total of 60 players, of whom 20% are left-handed. How many left-handed players are there?
Answer:
There are 12 left-handed players in the league
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value of the percentage of a given number, change the percentage at first to decimal by divide it by 100, then multiply the decimal by the number.Ex: 5% of 50 ⇒ 5% = [tex]\frac{5}{100}[/tex] = 0.05 ⇒ 5% × 50 = 0.05 × 50 = 2.5Let us solve the problem
∵ A local little league has a total of 60 players
∵ 20% of them are left-handed
→ Find 20% of 60
∴ The number of left-handed players = 20% × 60
→ Change 20% to a decimal
∵ 20% = [tex]\frac{20}{100}[/tex] = 0.20
∴ The number of left-handed players = 0.20 × 60
∴ The number of left-handed players = 12
∴ There are 12 left-handed players in the league
Charlene and Gary want to make confetti. In order to get the right balance of ingredients for their tastes they bought 3 pounds of paper hearts at $2.46 per pound, 5 pounds of sparkling stars for $3.05 per pound, and 3 pounds of shiny coils for $2.33 per pound. Determine the cost per pound of the coffeti.
Answer:
0.712 cents per pound
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are given the exact amount of each ingredient as well as the price for that amount then we simply need to calculate how much each pound of the confetti actually costs. We do this by adding together all of the pound of all of the ingredients and then adding together all of the costs. Lastly, we divide the cost by the total amount of pounds to find the cost per pound of the confetti like so...
3lbs. + 5lbs. + 3lbs. = 11 lbs.
$2.46 + $3.05 + $2.33 = $7.84
$7.84 / 11 lbs. = 0.712 cents per pound
Therefore, the cost per pound of the confetti is 0.712 cents per pound
A King in ancient times agreed to reward the inventor of chess with one grain of wheat on the first of the 64 squares of a chess board. On the second square the King would place two grains of wheat, on the third square, four grains of wheat, and on the fourth square eight grains of wheat. If the amount of wheat is doubled in this way on each of the remaining squares, how many grains of wheat should be placed on square 24 ? Also find the total number of grains of wheat on the board at this time and their total weight in pounds. (Assume that each grain of wheat weighs 1/7000 pound.)
Answer:
1) 8,388,608 grains of wheat.
2) 16,777,215 grains of wheat.
3) 239,674.5 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1)
We know that on the first square, there is 1 grain of wheat.
On the second, 2 grains of wheat.
On the third, 4 grains of wheat.
And on the fourth, 8 grains of wheat.
Therefore, we have a geometrically increasing sequence. It looks like:
1, 2, 4, 8...
Therefore, to find the number of grains on the 24th square, we can write an explicit formula.
The standard form for the explicit formula for a geometric sequence is:
[tex]x_n=a(r)^{n-1}[/tex]
Where a is the initial amount, r is the common ratio, and n is the nth term (starting from 1).
We know that the initial term a is 1 because there’s one grain of wheat on the first square.
And the common ratio will be 2 because each square has double the amount of the previous square.
So, substitute 1 for a and 2 for r. This yields:
[tex]x_n=1(2)^{n-1}\\[/tex]
We can simplify this:
[tex]x_n=2^{n-1}[/tex]
So, to find the amount of wheat on the 24th square, we simply need to substitute 24 for n and evaluate. So:
[tex]x_{24}=2^{24-1}=2^{23}[/tex]
Evaluate. Use a calculator:
[tex]x_{24}=8,388,608[/tex]
Therefore, on the 24th square, there are 8,388,608 grains of wheat.
Question 2.1)
We want to find the total number of grains of wheat on the board at this time.
In other words, we want to find the sum of our geometric sequence when n is 24.
The formula for the sum of a geometric series is:
[tex]S_n=\frac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}[/tex]
Where rⁿ is the value of the number of terms n, r is the common ratio, and a is the initial term.
We want to find the sum after 24 times. So, n is 24.
So, substitute 24 for n, 2 for r, and 1 for a. This yields:
[tex]S_{24}=\frac{(1)(2^{24}-1)}{2-1}[/tex]
Evaluate. Use a calculator:
[tex]S_{24}=16, 777, 215[/tex]
Therefore, the total sum of the number of grains of wheat at the board at the 24th square is 16,777,215.
Question 2.2)
And to find the weight, we will just have to multiply our total amount by 1/7000. So:
[tex]W=16777215(\frac{1}{70})[/tex]
Use a calculator:
[tex]W=239,674.5\text{ lbs}[/tex]
So, the total weight is 239,674.5 pounds.

Joe is training to run in a half marathon in two months. This week he ran 1, 200,000 millimeters on Monday, 2, 400 meters on
Wednesday, and 4.6 kilometers on Friday. What is the total distance in kilometers that he ran this week?
TI
The total distance he travelled in kilometer is 8.2 km
What is distance?Distance is the total movement of an object without any regard to direction.
Given:
On Monday he walked = 1, 200, 000 mm
On Tuesday he walked= 2,400 m
On Wednesday he walked = 4.6 km
As, 1mm = 1/100,000
1,200,000 mm = 1.2 Km
and, 1 m =1/1000 km
2400m = 2.4 km
Hence, the total distance he travelled = 1.2+ 2.4 + 4. 6 = 8.2 km

After 5.5 hours, Allie had traveled 264 miles. If she travels at a constant speed, how far will she have traveled in 6 hours?
Answer:
288 Miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x (speed)
5.5x = 264
Divide by 5.5
x = 48
y = 48x
Subsitute 6 hours in for x
y = 48(6)
y = 288
Answer: Allie went 288 miles in 6 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you must find out how many miles Allie travled in one hour
= 264/5.5
= 48
Next, multiply the quotient by the number of hours to get the answer.

Are the expressions –0.5(3x + 5) and
–1.5x + 2.5 equivalent? Explain why or why not.
Answer:
We can check this two ways: distributing the -0.5, and plugging in a number for x.
First, we can check this by distributing the -0.5. Our equation becomes:
-1.5x -2.5 = -1.5x + 2.5
Clearly, this is not true. We can show this one more time by plugging in a number for x. I will use 2.
Now, we evaluate both sides and see if they are equal.
-3 - 2.5 = -3 + 2.5
-5.5 = 0.5
Clearly, this is not true. These expressions are not equivalent.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: Using the distributive property to expand the first expression, you would get -1.5x - 2.5. Since the constant term does not have the same sign as the second expression, the two expressions are not equivalent. Also, if you substitute in a value for x and evaluate each expression, the values will not be equal.
