The water level of a river is 170feet. The river recedes 4 feet each year. Ingrid claims that the equation that represents this scenario is y=170x-4. Is her equation correct?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation y = mx + b, which is the form Ingrid's equation is in, the m stands for the rate of change. If the water level is decreasing, the rate at which it is decreasing is what goes in for m. The "b" of that equation indicates the starting height of the water, which is 170. The equation should be:

y = -4x + 170, negative because the water is decreasing.

What are the steps involved in multiplying/ dividing rational expressions??

Answers

Answer:

Multiplication:

Step 1: Factor both the numerator and the denominator.

Step 2: Write as one fraction.  Write it as a product of the factors of the numerators over the product of the factors of the denominators. DO NOT multiply anything out at this point.

Step 3: Simplify the rational expression.

Step 4: Multiply any remaining factors in the numerator and/or denominator.

Division:

Step 1: Completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions.

Step 2: Change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal.

Step 3: Cancel or reduce the fractions. Remember that to reduce fractions; you can cancel something in the numerator with something in the denominator, but in order to cancel something in the numerator and denominator the two factors must be EXACTLY the same.

Step 4: Rewrite the remaining factor. Notice that you do NOT need to actually multiply anything in the numerator or denominator.

Find the measure of each angle indicated.
A) 25°
C) 35°
B) 45°
D) 40°

Answers

Answer:

here's the answer to your question

Answer:

D) 40

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question you can use the knowledge that every triangle has a total of 180 degrees. Two of the angles are known one is 50 and the other is 90. We know one is 90 because of the square around the angle. Then, you can set up an algebraic equation to solve. We know that 50+90+x=180, so solve for x for the final answer of 40.

given m||n, find the value of x

Answers

Answer:

x = 155º

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 25°    {Vertically opposite angles}

x + y = 180    {Co-interior angles are supplementary}

x + 25 = 180

Subtract 25 from both sides

x = 180 - 25

x = 155°

Antonia and Aleena both bought a book that cost £3.50 each. How much change did they get from £10.00?
£6.50
£2.00
£3.00

Answers

Answer:

They got 3.00 back

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they both bought a book it means you have to double the price of one book.

3.50+3.50=7.00

Then since you are looking for the difference of 10.00 you would subtract it.

10.00-7.00=3.00

solve the triangle. Round decimal places to the nearest place

Answers

Answer: The remaining angle must be 90, side BC = 17, side AC = 39

Explanation:

To find the remaining angle of this triangle, you may do 180 - (24+66) = 90, since the sum of angles in any triangle must equal to 180.

To find the remaining sides, you may use the sine rule to find BC:

sin(Angle)/opposing side = sin(Angle)/opposing side

1) sin90/43 = sin24/x
2) 1/43 = 0.4067/x
3) x = 17.48
4) x ≈ 17

You may also use the sine rule to find side AC:

1) sin90/43 = sin66/x
2) 1/43 = 0.9135/x
3) x = 39.28
4) x ≈ 39

Lilian is building a swimming pool in the shape of a right rectangular prism. The area of the base of the swimming pool is 72 square meters. The depth of the swimming pool is 3 meters. What is the volume of the swimming pool?

Answers

Answer:

its easy as making a cake

Step-by-step explanation:

always remember that

volume of a rectangular prism = area of the base x depth

AND

volume = 72

depth. = 3

it means we have to multiply 72 with 3

so we get

72 x 3 = 216

it means that the volume of the swimming pool is 216.

8. What is the solution to 4(1/2x+7)=12?

Answers

Answer:

x=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

4(1/2x+7)=12

Divide each side by 4

4/4(1/2x+7)=12/4

(1/2x+7)=3

Subtract 7 from each side

1/2x+7-7=3-7

1/2x = -4

Multiply each side by 2

1/2x*2 = -4*2

x = -8

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide both sides by 4 which will give you 1/2x+7=3

Then multipy both sides by 2 which will then give you x+14=16

Then move the constant = x=6-14

6-14 is -8 which will give you x=-8

A 3cm x 2cm rectangle sits inside a circle with a radius of 4cm
What is the area of the shaded region
round your final answer to the nearest hundredth

Answers

The area of the shaded region is 44.24\ cm^{2}44.24 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the shaded region is equal to the area of the circle minus the area of rectangle

step 1

Find the area of circle

The area of the circle is equal to

A=\pi r^{2}A=πr2

we have

r=4\ cmr=4 cm

substitute

A=\pi (4)^{2}A=π(4)2

A=16\pi\ cm^{2}A=16π cm2

step 2

Find the area of rectangle

The area of rectangle is equal to

A=(3)(2)=6\ cm^{2}A=(3)(2)=6 cm2

step 3

Find the difference

16\pi\ cm^{2}-6\ cm^{2}16π cm2−6 cm2

assume

\pi=3.14π=3.14

16(3.14)\ cm^{2}-6\ cm^{2}=44.24\ cm^{2}16(3.14) cm2−6 cm2=44.24 cm2

Answers

Answer:

a) 3x² + 7x + 2

b) 4x² + 2x - 12

c) x² + 8x + 12

d) π (16x² + 144)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Rectangle

A = bh

A = 3x + 1 (x + 2)

A = 3x² + 6x + 1x + 2

A = 3x² + 7x + 2

b) Parallelogram

A = bh

A = 2x + 4 (2x - 3)

A = 4x² + (-6x) + 8x + (-12)

A = 4x² + 2x - 12

c) Trapezoid

A = a + b/2 (h)

A = [(x + 3) + (x + 9)]/2 (x + 2)

A = (2x + 12)/2 (x + 2)

A = x + 6 (x + 2)

A = x² + 2x + 6x + 12

A = x² + 8x + 12

d) Circle

A = πr²

A = π (4x + 12)²

A = π (16x² + 144)

This will be you're simplest answer unless you multiple 16x² + 144 times pi (π) and round.
