Answer:

  x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

You can work this several ways.

1) Consider the factor that gets you from the y-value of the known pair to the y-value of the unknown pair. Here, that factor is -6/12 = -1/2.

Then the unknown value of x is the known value multiplied by that same factor:

  x = (-1/2)(-2)

  x = 1

__

2) You can write the equation for a "varies directly" relationship and solve for the constant of proportionality. Then you can use that equation to find the unknown value of x.

  y = kx . . . . . . . . . . . . . . y varies directly with x

  k = y/x = 12/-2 = -6

Now we know ...

  y = -6x

Filling in the new value for y, we have ...

  -6 = -6x

  1 = x . . . . . . divide by -6

__

3) You can write a proportion. Since we want to find a value for x, it is convenient to put that in the numerator.

  -2/12 = x/-6

Multiplying by -6, we get ...

  (-6)(-2)/12 = x = 1

B.

The height of the ball is the same after 0 seconds and 4 seconds.

C.

The height of the ball is the same after 0.5 second and 5.5 seconds.

D.

The height of the ball is the same after 1.5 seconds and 3.5 seconds.

Answers

Answer:

A. The height of the ball is the same after 1 second and 3 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic equation function modeling is used to analyze the relationship between variables in the equation. If the ball is at height and t is time then the ball is on symmetric line which will move for initial 1 second then stabilizes at 3 seconds.

what is the density of the rectangular prism 3cm 4cm 6cm that weighs 36 grams?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step Explanation:

Given:

Measurement of rectangular prism = 3 cm × 4 cm × 6 cm

Mass of rectangular prism = 36 grams

Required:

Density of rectangular prism

SOLUTION:

[tex] Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume} [/tex]

Mass = 36 g

Volume = 3*4*6 = 72 cm³

[tex] Density = \frac{36}{72} [/tex]

Water flows through a pipe at a rate of 8 pints per hour. Express this rate of flow in cups per week.

Answers

Answer:

2,688 cups per week

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets begin by figuring out the pints per week/pints per day. Multiplying 8 times 24, we get our daily total of 192 pints per day. Multiply this by 7 and we get a total of 1344 pints per week. We now must convert these pints into cups, which can be done by multiplying the total amount of pints by 2. 1344 times 2 = 2,688 cups

Step-by-step:

When you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. f(x) = x2 and f(x + h) = (x + h)2 Therefore, the slope of the secant line between any two points on this function is 2x + h.p explanation:

Multiply X by (x+4)

x^2+4x=357

You then subtract 357 from both sides

x^2+4x-357=0

This is a ratio of polynomials.  As n approaches infinity, an approaches 4n / n⁸ = 4 / n⁷, which is a convergent p-series.

Using Limit Comparison Test:

an = (2 + 4n) / (1 + n²)⁴

bn = 4 / n⁷

lim(n→∞) an / bn = 1

The limit is greater than 0, and bn converges, so an also converges.

Divide both sides by -7.  A negative divided by a negative will give you a positive. So the answer would be x=4.

x=4

you divide both sides by -7 to get the x by itself. -28 divided by -7 is 4.

The graph shows the cost C in dollars of W pounds of blueberries a proportional relationship. select all the true statements
A 1 pound of blueberries cost $2.75
B 2.75 pounds of blueberries cost $1
C 5pounds of blueberries cost $15
D 12 pounds of blueberries cost $33
E The point (3,9) is on the graph of the proportional relationship

Answers

Answer:

A, D

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost ($) = C

lbs (Blueberries) = W

One pound of blueberries costs $2.75 because to find how much 1 lb is you need to divide by 6.

6 is the number of pounds at that point in the graph, so you divide both the pounds and cost by 6 to find how much 1 lb is.

To find how much 5 lbs costs, multiply both the cost and number of pounds ($2.75 to 1 lb) by 5.

2.75 * 5 is 13.75 (This means C is wrong)

Do the same but with 12 for D

2.75 * 12 is 33, so D is correct

You could do the same method as above for E, but the easier way to do this is to see that the relationship of 3:9 is equal to a 1:3 ratio, which is the same as what the pounds to cost ratio is (which is 1:2.75)

Hope this helps! ^_^

A linear graph is represented by a straight line

The true options are:

A. 1 pound of blueberries cost $2.75 D. 12 pounds of blueberries cost $33

The points on the graph are:

[tex]\mathbf{(x_1,y_1) = (0,0)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{(x_2,y_2) = (6,16.50)}[/tex]

The slope (m) of the graph is:

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

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{16.50 - 0}{6-0}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{16.50}{6}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{m = 2.75}[/tex]

The above means that: 1 pound of blueberries costs $2.75

Hence, (a) is true, and (b) is false

Multiply 2.75 by 5, to get the cost of 5 blueberries

[tex]\mathbf{C(5) = 2.75 \times 5=13.75}[/tex]

This means that: (c) is false

Multiply 2.75 by 12, to get the cost of 12 blueberries

[tex]\mathbf{C(12) = 2.75 \times 12=33}[/tex]

This means that: (d) is true

(e) is false, because:

[tex]\mathbf{\frac{9}{3} \ne 2.75}[/tex]

Hence, the true options are: (a) and (d)
