Answer:

y = -4x + 29

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 = -4(8) + b

-3 = -32+b

29=b

The equation whose slope is -4 and passes through (8,-3) is y=-4x+29 where slope is -4.

Equation is relationship between two or more variables that are expressed in equal to form. Equation of two variables look like ax+by=c. It is of many types like linear equation, quadratic equation, cubic equation, etc.

We have been given slope of line being -4 and point through which it passes (8,-3) and we have to find the equation of line.

The equation from two points can be calculated through the following formula:

y-[tex]y_{1}[/tex]=m(x-[tex]x_{1}[/tex]) and slope is m.

Putting the values of points and slope in the formula given above.

y-(-3)=-4(x-8)

y+3=-4(x-8)

y+3=-4x+32

y=-4x+32-3

y=-4x+29

Hence the equation is y=-4x+29 where slope is -4.

Answer:

129

Step-by-step explanation:

Since,

AD = BC

AD = 3x + 24

BC = 4x - 11

3x + 24 = 4x - 11

4x - 11 = 3x + 24

4x - 3x = 24 + 11

x = 35

BC = 4x - 11

= 4 ( 35 ) - 11

= 140 - 11

BC = 129

Answer:

[tex]AB=BC[/tex]

[tex]3x+24=4x-11[/tex]

Answer:

6x+20

Step-by-step explanation:

F(x) = 6x+2

f(x+3) means replace x with x+3

F(x+3) = 6(x+3)+2

         = 6x+18+2

         = 6x+20

Answer:

A; F(x+3) = 6x^2 + 20x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find it you just would multiply F(x) onto the other side. So it would look like this:

           F(x+3) = 6x + 2 (x+3)            

          F(x+3) = 6x^2 + 2x + 18x + 6            *combine like terms getting you

           F(x+3) = 6x^2 + 20x + 6

Answer:

128 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is given by

A = 1/2 (b1+b2) h

where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the bases and h is the height

A =1/2( 10+22) * 8

A = 1/2 (32)8

  = 128

Answer:

A=128 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given a trapezoid and we want to find the area of it

The area of a trapezoid is given as [tex]\frac{a+b}{2}h[/tex], where a and b are the bases and h is the height

The bases are the parallel sides

They are the sides marked as 10 cm and 22 cm in this case

The height is the distance between the bases

In this case, it is the side marked as 8 cm

We know everything needed for the area, let's just label everything to avoid any confusion

a=10

b=22

h=8

Now substitute into the formula

A=[tex]\frac{a+b}{2}h[/tex]

A=[tex]\frac{10+22}{2}*8[/tex]

add the numbers on the numerator together

A=[tex]\frac{32}{2}*8[/tex]

Divide 32 by 2

A=16*8

multiply

A=128 cm²

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Surface Area = 3,543.7 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of the cylinder = 2πr(h + r)

Where,

radius (r) = 12 cm

height (h) = 35 cm

Plug in the values into the surface area formula

S.A = 2*π*12(35 + 12)

S.A = 24π(47)

S.A = 3,543.71651 cm²

≈ 3,543.7 cm² (approximated to the nearest tenth)

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

it says in the question that 1/4 +1/3 is used so in order to make it simple we have to find the common denominator that is 12. so converting 1/4 is 3/12 and 1/3 is 4/12.so u add the numerator and u get 7 over 12 .so now the whole container of peanuts is 12/12 but 7/12 is used so 12-7= 5. so ur ans is 5/12

Explanation:

Find the prime factorization of 72 and 162

Here's a simplified version of each

We have these unique primes: 2, 3

Circle the terms that have the largest exponents for each of those unique primes. So you'll circle 2^3 and 3^4. Those items circled will multiply together to get the LCM.

This means 2^3*3^4 is the LCM (lowest common multiple).

2^3*3^4 turns into 648, but your teacher wants you to keep the LCM in prime factor form.

------------------------------

Now onto the HCF (highest common factor; aka GCF).

Looking at

We again see '2's and '3's as the unique primes. Both have at 1 copy of '2' between them. They also both have 3^2 between them. It might help to think of 3^4 as 3^2*3^2.

Those common factors you circled are then multiplied.

Overall, the HCF is 2*3^2 = 2*9 = 18

-----------------------------

Side note: The HCF is useful to help reduce fractions, while the LCM is useful to help find the LCD (lowest common denominator) when adding or subtracting fractions of different denominators. There are other applications of each of these.

LCM= 648

HCF= 18

Answer:

360 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of each face of the triangular prism.

Imagine the triangular prism as its net, it is composed with 2 triangular faces (these are tye bases of the prism) and 3 rectangular faces.

Areas of the 2 triangular bases (they are similar triangles):

1/2 x 8 cm x 6 cm = 24 cm^2

24 x 2 = 48 cm^2

Area of the rectangular face:

8 x 13 = 104 cm^2

Area of another rectangular face:

6 cm x 13 cm = 78 cm^2

Area of another rectangular face:

13 cm x 10 cm = 130 cm^2

Add up all the areas of all faces:

48 + 104 + 78 + 130 = 360

So the SA is 360 cm^2

Answer:

a. The cost of one cake is $4.

b. The cost of one pie is $2.

Step-by-step explanation:

C = 2P  .....equation 1

4C + 2P = 20  .....equation 2

Substituting eqn 1 into eqn 2, we have;

4(2P) + 2P = 20

8P + 2P = 20

10P = 20

P = 20/10

Pie, P = $2

Next, we would determine the cost of a cake;

From equation 1;

C = 2P

Substituting the value of "P" we have;

C = 2 * 2

Cake, C = $4

Therefore, we would have the following answers;

a. The cost of one cake is $4.

b. The cost of one pie is $2.

Check:

From equation 2;

4C + 2P = 20

4(4) + 2(2) = 20

16 + 4 = 20

20 = 20

Answer:

[tex]y=-2(sin(2x))-7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Approach

Given information:

What conclusions can be made about this function:

Therefore, one has the following information figured out:

[tex]y=-n(sin(ax))+b[/tex]

Now one has to find the following information:

2. Midline

The midlines can simply be defined as a line that goes through a sinusoidal function, cutting the function in half. This is represented by the constant (b). One is given that point (0, -7) is where the graph intersects the midline. The (y-coordinate) of this point is the midline. Therefore, the midline is the following:

y = -7

2. Amplitude

The amplitude is represented by the coefficient (n). It can simply be defined by the distance from the midline to point of maximum (the highest part of a sinusoidal function) or point of minimum (lowest point on the function). Since the function reaches a point of minimum after intercepting the (y-axis) at its midlines, the amplitude is a negative coefficient. One can find the absolute value of the amplitude by finding the difference of the (y-coordinate) of the point of minimum (or maximum) and the absolute value of the midline.

point of minimum: [tex](\frac{\pi}{4},9)[/tex]

midline: [tex]y=-7[/tex]

Amplitude: 9 - |-7| = 9 - 7 = 2

3. Period

The period of a sinusoidal function is the amount of time it takes to reach the same point on the wave. In essence, if one were to select any point on the sinusoidal function, and draw a line going to the right, how long would it take for that line to reach a point on the function that is identical to the point at which it started. This can be found by taking the difference of the (x- coordinate) of the intersection point of the midline, and the (x-coordinate) of the point of minimum, and multiplying it by (4).

point of minimum: [tex](\frac{\pi}{4},9)[/tex]

midline intersection: [tex](0, -7)[/tex]

Period: [tex]4(\frac{\pi}{4}-0)=4(\frac{\pi}{4})=\pi[/tex]

However, in order to input this into the function in place of the variable (a), one has to divide this number by ([tex]2\pi[/tex]).

[tex]a=\frac{2\pi}{\pi}=2[/tex]

4. Assemble the function

One now has the following solutions to the variables:

[tex]n =-16\\a=2\\b=-7\\[/tex]

Substitute these values into the function:

[tex]y=-2(sin(2x))-7[/tex]
