help please! Darren is finding the equation in the form y = m x + b for a trend line that passes through the points (2, 18) and (–3, 8). Which value should he use as b in his equation? a) –34 b) –19 c) 2 d) 14

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  d) 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line passing through (a,b) and (c,d):

[tex](y-b)=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}(x-a)[/tex]

Equation of a line passing through (2, 18) and (–3, 8):

[tex](y-18)=\dfrac{8-18}{-3-2}(x-2)\\\\\Rightarrow\ (y-18)=\dfrac{-10}{-5}(x-2)\\\\\Rightarrow\ (y-18)=2(x-2)\\\\\Rightarrow\ y-18=2x-4\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=2x-4+18\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=2x+14[/tex]

Comparing resulting equation [tex]y=2x+14[/tex] to [tex]y = m x + b[/tex], we get value of b= 14.

Hence, correct option is d) 14

In the figure below, triangle DOG, triangle ION, and triangle IDO are congruent and isosceles, each with perimeter 55. The quadrilaterals FLIN, DIES, and DRAG are all squares. The perimeter of the 11-sided polygon $DRAGONFLIES$ is 127. What is the area of DRAG?

Answers

Answer:

81 sq units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Triangles DOG, ION and IDO are congruent and isosceles.

Let Sides NO = IO = DO = GO = [tex]x[/tex] units

Let the sides of squares FLIN, DIES and DRAG = [tex]a[/tex] units

So, NF = FL = LI = NI = IE = ES = SD = DI = DR = RA = AG = GD = [tex]a[/tex] units

Given that perimeter of each of Triangles DOG, ION and IDO = 55 units

Sum of sides of triangle = [tex]2x+a=55 ...... (1)[/tex]

and Perimeter of 11 sided polygon DRAGONFLIES = 127 units

The perimeter of the polygon includes the sides (only outer sides are included):

DR, RA, AG, GO, ON, NF, FL, LI, IE, ES and SD

[tex]2x+9a = 127......(2)[/tex]

Solving equations (2) and (1) by subtracting (1) from equation (2):

[tex]8a = 72\\\Rightarrow a = 9 units[/tex]

Area of a square DRAG = [tex]Side^2[/tex] = [tex]9^2 = \bold{81\ sq\ units}[/tex]

Bob says that he can find the area of the triangle below using the formula: A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] * 8 *18 * sin (120°). Is he correct? Explain why or why not.

Answers

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, Bob is not correct.

The formula he's using is the following:

[tex]A=\frac{1}{2} ab\sin(C)[/tex]

The important thing here is that the angle is between the two sides.

In the given triangle, 120 is not between 8 and 18. Therefore, using this formula will not be valid.

Either Bob needs to find the other side first or find the angle between 8 and 18.

Two trees are leaning on each other in the forest. One tree is 19 feet long and makes a 32° angle with the ground. The second tree is 16 feet long. What is the approximate angle, x, that the second tree makes with the ground? A 0.6° B 35.0° C 39.0° D 58.0°

Answers

Answer:

C 39.0

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the approximate angle, x, that the second tree makes with the ground, we can use the concept of similar triangles Therefore the correct option is B.

Let's calculate the height of the first tree using the given information. We can use the formula for the opposite side in a right triangle: opposite = adjacent * tan(angle). Therefore, the height of the first tree is approximately [tex]19 * tan(32°) = 19 * 0.6249 ≈ 11.873[/tex]  feet. Now, we can set up a proportion between the two trees based on their heights. Let x be the angle the second tree makes with the ground.

We have the following proportion: (height of first tree)/(height of second tree) = (length of first tree)/(length of second tree). Substituting the known values, we have [tex]11.873/16 = 19/x[/tex]. Cross-multiplying gives us [tex]11.873x = 304,[/tex]  and dividing both sides by 11.873 yields[tex]x ≈ 25.63°.[/tex]  The approximate angle, x, that the second tree makes with the ground is closest to 35.0°.

Hence the correct option is B

PLEASE help me with this question!!! REALLY URGENT!

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have a table of values of a used car over time. At year 0, the car is worth $20,000. By the end of year 8, the car is only worth $3400.

We can see that this is exponential decay since each subsequent year the car depreciates by a different value.

To find the rate of change the car depreciates, we simply need to find the value of the exponential decay. To do this (and for the most accurate results) we can use the last term (8, 3400).

First, we already determined that the original value (year 0 value) of the car is 20,000. Therefore, we can say:

[tex]f(t)=20000(r)^t[/tex]

Where t is the time in years and r is the rate (what we're trying to figure out).

Now, to solve for r, use to point (8, 3400). Plug in 8 for t and 3400 for f(t):

[tex]3400=20000(r)^8\\3400/20000=17/100=r^8\\r=\sqrt[8]{17/100}\approx0.8[/tex]

In other words, the rate of change modeled by the function is 0.8.

As expected, this is exponential decay. The 0.8 tells us that the car depreciates by 20% per year.

name four points that are not coplanar​

Answers

Answer: U, W, Z and Y

Step-by-step explanation:

4 points are not coplanar if there does not exist any plane that contains the 4 points.

So, a plane is formed by a line and one point outside of it.

Then, we want to select the last point in such a way that it lies outside of the plane generated by the first 3 points selected.

For example:

If first we select Point U and Point W, we will have a line, as shown in the image.

Now we can select the Point  Z, that is outside the line, and now we have the plane M that you can see in the image.

Now we need to select a point that is not in the plane, the only two options are Point X and Point Y, we can select any of those two, let's take the Point Y.

So, here we have that:

Points U, W, Z and Y are not coplanar.

An ant needs to travel along a 20cm × 20cm cube to get from point A to point B. What is the shortest path he can take, and how long will it be (in cm)?

Answers

Each edge of the cube is 20cm. If it stayed on the edges it would need to walk on 3 edges for a total distance of 3 x 20 = 60 cm.

If it walked diagonally across the front face and then one edge it would travel:

Diagonal = sqrt(20^2 + 20^2) = 28.28

Total distance waling a diagonal and then an edge = 28.28 + 20 = 48.28 cm

The shortest distance would be diagonally across the front face then the edge to point B and the distance would be 48.28 cm.

= 48 + 48 = 96

b) Its half and half of the half

96 + (1/2 × 48) + (1/2 ×( 1/2 × 48)

= 96 + 24 +(1/2 × 24)

= 96 + 24 + 12

= 132

c) is added to 18

Answers

Answer:

a. 1.25

b . 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question in scale factors

a. The sable factor that takes P to Q

In P, we are having sides 4, 2 and 3

In Q, we are having sides 2.5 and 5

From the diagrams and using the similar sides, we can see that the side length 4 became 5 while the side length 2 became 2.5

So the scale factor would be;

4 * x = 5

or

2 * x = 2.5

Where x is that dilation factor that transformed 4 into 5

Thus, x would be 5/4 or 2.5/2 = 1.25

b. The scale factor that takes Q to P

This is the direct opposite of what we have in the first question.

Here, we want to go from Q to P

To get this, we simply divide what we have in P by what we had in Q

Hence, what we do here is;

A certain forest covers an area of 2600 km^2. Suppose that each year this area decreases by 4.75%. What will the area be after 11 years? Use the calculator provided and round your answer to the nearest square kilometer.

Answers

Answer:

1522km^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, first convert the percentage to a decimal. That would be .0475.

Now subtract that from 1.0 to get the factor it decreases by. This would be 1-.0475 = .9525

Multiply 2600 x (.9525)^11 = 1522.258 which rounds to 1522 km^2

Answer:

The area will be 1292.98 km² after 11 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find what decreases by 4.57% each year in kilometers:

2600 × 4.57/100 = 26 × 4.57

= 118.82 km²

To find the area after 11 years:

118.82 × 11 = 1307.02

2600 - 1307.02 = 1292.98 km²

1292.98 km² is the answer.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the room be p

Let the size of the room be s

To find the size of a kitchen that costs $3,824.00 we must first find the relationship between them

The statement

The price of tiling a room varies directly as the size of the room is written as

p = ks

where k is the constant of proportionality

when

p = $4,224.00

s = 264 square feet

Substitute the values into the expression to find k

That's

4224 = 264k

Divide both sides by 264

k = 16

So the formula for the variation is

p = 16s

when

p = 3824

[tex]s = \frac{p}{16} [/tex]

[tex]s = \frac{3824}{16} [/tex]

s = 239

The final answer is

239 square feet

Answers

Answer:

The factorized expression is (-5) × (t - 2.747) ×(t - 1.747)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is -5·t² + 5·t + 24

To factorize the expression by completing the square method, we equate the expression to zero to get;

-5·t² + 5·t + 24 = 0

WE divide by -5 to get;

t² - t - 24/5 = 0

t² - t = 24/5

t² - t + 1/4 = 24/5 + 1/4

(t - 1/2)² = 5.05

t - 1/2 = ±√5.05

t = 1/2 + √5.05, 1/2 - √5.05

The factorized expression becomes;

(t - 1/2 + √5.05) and (t - 1/2 - √5.05)

Which gives;

(t - 2.747) ×(t - 1.747)

The factorized expression is (-5) × (t - 2.747) ×(t - 1.747).
