Find the slope of the line passing through the points (3, 8) (7, - 7)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]-\frac{15}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope or the gradient of a line you have to utilise the formula

[tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

Y₂ = -7

Y₁ = 8

X₂ = 7

X₁ = 3

So,

[tex]\frac{-7-8}{7-3}[/tex]

→ Simplify

[tex]-\frac{15}{4}[/tex]

Answer 2

By using the given points, we will see that the slope is -15/4.

How to find the slope of a line?

If we know that a given line passes through two known points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the slope can be written as:

[tex]s = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

Here the line passes through the points (3, 8) and (7, -7).

Using the above formula, we can see that the slope is:

[tex]s = \frac{-7 - 8}{7 - 3} = \frac{-15}{4}[/tex]

Two terms of an arithmetic sequence are $a_{12}=70$a12​=70​ and A sub 30 is equal to 124$a_{30}=124$a30​=124​ . Write an explicit rule for the n$n$n​ th term

Answers

Answer:

Tn = 34+3n

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as shown;

[tex]Tn = a+(n-1)d[/tex]

a is the first term of the sequence

n is the number of terms

d is the common difference

If T₁₂ = 70 and T₃₀ = 124

T₁₂  = a+(12-1)d = 70

T₁₂  = a+11d = 70... (1)

Similarly;

T₃₀ = a + (30-1)d = 124

T₃₀ = a +29d = 124...(2)

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously to get a and d.

Subtracting 2 from 1 we have;

29d - 11d = 124-70

18d = 54

d = 54/18

d = 3

Substituting d = 3 into equation 1 to get a we have;

a + 11(3) = 70

a + 33 = 70

a = 70-33

a = 37

The explicit rule for the nth term of the sequence can be gotten by substituting the value of a and d into the formula Tn = a+(n-1)d

Tn = 37+(n-1)*3

Tn = 37+3n-3

Tn = 34+3n

Step-by-step explanation:

1-4 you can use this formula: [tex]V=l*h*w[/tex]

1.

[tex]V=l*w*h\\V=(6ft)(4ft)(1ft)\\V=24ft^3[/tex]

2.

[tex]V=l*h*w\\V=(2yd)(\frac{1}{2}yd )(2yd)\\V=2yd^3[/tex]

3.

[tex]V=l*h*w\\V=(12\frac{1}{2}mm)(3mm)(4mm)\\V=150mm^3[/tex]

4.

[tex]V=l*h*w\\V=(2cm)(8.5cm)(2cm)\\V=34cm^3[/tex]

5-7 you need these 2 formulas: [tex]A=\frac{bh}{2}[/tex] and [tex]V=Bh[/tex] or you can use one formula which is: [tex]V=\frac{bh}{2}*h[/tex]

Let me explain. The first formula is for finding the area of the base of the triangle and the second formula is for finding the volume of the prism using the area previously mentioned. The first h is with respect to the triangle and the second h is with respect to the prism.

5.

[tex]V=\frac{bh}{2}*h\\V=\frac{(8in)(6in)}{2}* 18in\\V=\frac{48in^2}{2}*18in\\ V=48in^2*9in\\V=432in^3[/tex]

6.

[tex]V=\frac{bh}{2}*h \\V=\frac{(11m)(5m)}{2}*35m \\V=\frac{55m^2}{2}*35m\\ V=\frac{1925m^3}{2}\\ V=962.50m^3[/tex]

7.

[tex]V=\frac{bh}{2}*h \\V=\frac{(5mm)(8mm)}{2}*12mm\\V=\frac{40mm^2}{2}*12mm\\ V=40mm^2*6mm\\V=240mm^3[/tex]

For the last one, we have a special case.

This formula is a bit odd and long.

[tex]V=\frac{1}{4}h(\sqrt{-a^4+2(ab)^2+2(ac)^2-b^4+2(bc)^2-c^4}[/tex]

a=8yd

b=15yd

c=17yd

h=11yd

[tex]V=\frac{1}{4}(11yd)(\sqrt{-(8yd)^4+2[(8yd)(15yd))]^2+2[(8yd)(17yd)]^2-(15yd)^4+2[(15yd)(17yd)]^2}[/tex][tex]-(17)^4[/tex]

As you can see this is long. I'll just jump to the answer.

Rewrite y = x^3-64 as y = x^3 - 64.  This can again be rewritten, this time as:

y = (x - 4)(x^2 + 16).

A farmer sells 6.8 kilograms of apples and pears at the farmer's market. 2 5 of this weight is apples, and the rest is pears. How many kilograms of pears did she sell at the farmer's market?

Answers

Answer:

weight of pears sold = 4.08 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

total weight of apples and pears = 6.8 kg

2/5 of this weight = apples

this means that if the total weight (6.8 kg) were divided into 5 parts, apples take 2 out of the 5 parts:

∴ weight of apples = 2/5 of total weight

weight of apples 2/5 × 6.8 = 2.72 kg

Therefore apples weigh a total of 2.72 kg

Therefore, since weight of apples + weight of pears = 6.8 kg

2.72 + weight of pears = 6.8

weight of pears = 6.8 - 2.72 = 4.08 kg

What is the value of x in the equation 3-2x=-1.5x?

-6

Answers

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

In this equation, we are told to solve for the value of x. Thus, we must isolate the variable x (poor x... we're always trying to isolate it).

3 - 2x = -1.5x

(I'm going to swap sides to make it easier for me to solve. This doesn't change anything mathematically due to the associative laws. It's purely cosmetic.)

-1.5x = 3 - 2x

First, we can add 2x to both sides of the equation to get all algebraic expressions containing the variable x on one side of the equation alone.

0.5x = 3

For our next part here, let's convert 0.5 to a fraction to make life easier for us.

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]x = 3

When isolating x in this, we are trying to get rid of 1/2. How can we do this? We can multiply is by 2!

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]x · [tex]\frac{2}{1}[/tex] = 1x (or simply x)

What we do to one side we must do to another.

x = 3 · 2

x = 6

Our answer is x = 6. Woo!

Step-by-step explanation:

two less= -2

LESS THAN 30, is <

The inequality used to find the solution of the given statement is 4x - 2 < 30 to get the solution as x < 8.

What is Linear Inequalities?

Linear inequalities are defined as those expressions which are connected by inequality signs like >, <, ≤, ≥ and ≠ and the value of the exponent of the variable is 1.

Given statement is that two less than four times a number is less than thirty.

Let the unknown number be x.

Four times a number is 4x.

Two less than four times a number is 4x - 2.

Two less than four times a number is less than thirty is 4x - 2 < 30.

4x - 2 < 30

Adding both sides with 2,

4x < 32

Dividing both sides by 4,

x < 8

Hence the required solution can be found by solving the inequality 4x - 2 < 30 and the solution is x < 8.

Caleb’s puppy weighs 2,250 grams. If the puppy weighed 600 grams at his last visit to the veterinarian’s office, what is the percent increase in the puppy’s weight rounded to the nearest whole number? Enter your answer in the box.

Answers

Given: Present weight of Caleb’s puppy = 2,250 grams

Puppy weighed 600 grams at his last visit to the veterinarian’s office.

To find: percent increase in the puppy’s weight rounded to the nearest whole number

Solution:

Increase in puppy's weight = 2250 - 600 = 1650 grams

Percent increase in the puppy’s weight =( Increase in puppy's weight/Present weight of Caleb’s puppy) × 100 = [tex]\frac{1650}{2250}(100)=73.33 \%[/tex]

The observed rabbit population on an island is given by the function p(t) =-4t^2+80t+1200, where t is the time, in years, since the teachers began observing the rabbits. According to this quadratic function, after how many years will the rabbit population reach its peak

Answers

Answer:

The rabbit population will reach its peak after 10 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we have a quadratic function in the following format:

[tex]p(t) = at^{2} + bt + c[/tex]

The vertex of the function is the point:

[tex](t_{v}, p(t_{v})[/tex]

In which

[tex]t_{v} = -\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

If a is negative, the vertex is a peak.

In this question:

[tex]p(t) = -4t^{2} + 80t + 1200[/tex]

So

[tex]a = -4, b = 80, c = 1200[/tex]

According to this quadratic function, after how many years will the rabbit population reach its peak

This is [tex]t_{v}[/tex]

[tex]t_{v} = -\frac{b}{2a} = -\frac{80}{2*(-4)} = 10[/tex]

The rabbit population will reach its peak after 10 years.
