Two basketballs are thrown along different paths. Determine if the basketballs’ paths are parallel to each
other, perpendicular or neither. Explain your reasoning.

o The first basketball is along the path 3x + 4y = 12
o The second basketball is along the path -6x – 8y = 24

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Since the slopes of the two equations are equivalent, the basketballs' paths are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that:

Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equivalent. Two lines are perpendicular if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. And two lines are neither if neither of the two cases above apply.

So, let's find the slope of each equation.

The first basketball is modeled by:

[tex]\displaystyle 3x+4y=12[/tex]

We can convert this into slope-intercept form. Subtract 3x from both sides:

[tex]4y=-3x+12[/tex]

And divide both sides by four:

[tex]\displaystyle y=-\frac{3}{4}x+3[/tex]

So, the slope of the first basketball is -3/4.

The second basketball is modeled by:

[tex]-6x-8y=24[/tex]

Again, let's convert this into slope-intercept form. Add 6x to both sides:

[tex]-8y=6x+24[/tex]

And divide both sides by negative eight:

[tex]\displaystyle y=-\frac{3}{4}x-3[/tex]

So, the slope of the second basketball is also -3/4.

Since the slopes of the two equations are equivalent, the basketballs' paths are parallel.

Stefan sells Jin a bicycle for $149 and a helmet for ​$19. The total cost for Jin is 140% of what Stefan spent originally to buy the bike and helmet. How much did Stefan spend​ originally? How much money did he make by selling the bicycle and helmet to​ Jin?

Answers

Answer:

$120

$48

Step-by-step explanation:

total amount Jin spent = cost of bicycle + cost of helmet

$149 + $19 = $168

This equation can be derived from the question :

1.4 x t = 168

where t = total cost Stephan spent on the helmet and bicycle

t = 168/1.4 = $120

Profit = selling price - cost price

$168 - $120 = $48

Evaluate the function
f(8) + g(-1) for the functions f(x) = -2x + 9 and g(x) = x²-2

Answers

Answer:

- 8

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(8) substitute x = 8 into f(x)

f(8) = - 2(8) + 9 = - 16 + 9 = - 7

Similarly for g(- 1)

g(- 1) = (- 1)² - 2 = 1 - 2 = - 1

Then

f(8) + g(- 1) = - 7 + (- 1) = - 7 - 1 = - 8

Answer:

83

Step-by-step explanation:

not sure tho____________

Answer:

83 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle of a triangle can be find by adding up the two inner angles that are not adjacent, so

43 + x = 126

x = 83 degrees

Second way

exterior angle + inner angle = 180

126 + inner angle = 180

inner angle = 54

the sum of the inner angles of a triangle is 180 degrees

54 + 43 + x = 180

97 + x = 180

x = 83 degrees

We tack on 15% more on the number of pieces of sod to account of the plot's irregularities. Since each piece of sod is 2 sq ft, the number of pieces we must get is 440/2 = 220 pieces +- 15% or 253 pieces

Answers

Answer:

You have gained $43 and the value increased by 3.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

You would 75 times 15 = $1125

then you would do 1125 times 97% = 1091.25

now you would do 1091.25 times 107% = estimation of 1168

then you would do 1168/1125 which is estimated to 1.038 and you would convert that into a percentage = 103.8%

You would do 1168 - 1125 = $43 and 103.8 - 100 = 3.8%

A jewelry box has a volume of 240 in cubic in. Its height is 12 inches, its width x in inches and its length ( x + 8) inches.

Answers

Answer:

Width of the box = 2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a box = length × width × height

Volume of the box = 240 cubic inches

Length of the box = (x + 8) inches

Width of the box = x inches

Height of the box = 12 inches

Volume of a box = length × width × height

240 = (x + 8) * x * 12

240 = (x² + 8x) * 12

240 = 12x² + 96x

12x² + 96x - 240 = 0

x² + 8x - 20 = 0

Solve quadratic equation using factorization method

x² + 10x - 2x - 20 = 0

x(x + 10) -2(x + 10) = 0

(x + 10) (x - 2) = 0

x + 10 = 0 OR x - 2 = 0

x = -10 OR x = 2

Width of the box can not be a negative value

Therefore,

Width of the box = 2 inches
