The median player salary for a professional football team was $446,600 in 2000 and $1,331,948 in 2008. Write a linear equation giving the median salary y in terms of the year x. (Let x = 0 represent 2000.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]y = \$335931.5 + \$110668.5x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Salary\ in\ 2000 = \$446,600[/tex] (Median)

[tex]Salary\ in\ 2008 = \$1,331,948[/tex] (Median)

Required

Determine a Linear Equation

The above question illustrates an Arithmetic Progression (AP)

The nth term of an AP is

[tex]T_n = a + (n - 1) d[/tex]

In this case;

[tex]a = Salary\ in\ 2000 = \$446,600[/tex]

[tex]n = 2008 - 2000 + 1 = 9[/tex]

[tex]T_n = Salary\ in\ 2008 = \$1,331,948[/tex]

Substitute these in the given formula

[tex]\$1,331,948 = \$446,600 + (9 - 1) d[/tex]

[tex]\$1,331,948 = \$446,600 + 8d[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]\$1,331,948 - \$446,600 = 8d[/tex]

[tex]\$885348 = 8d[/tex]

Divide both sides by 8

[tex]d = \$110668.5[/tex]

The linear equation is generated as follows;

[tex]T_n = a + (n - 1) d[/tex]

In this case;

[tex]a = Salary\ in\ 2000 = \$446,600[/tex]

[tex]d = \$110668.5[/tex]

[tex]T_n = y[/tex]

[tex]n = x[/tex]

Substitute these in the given formula

[tex]y = \$446,600 + (x - 1) * \$110668.5[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]y = \$446,600 + \$110668.5x - \$110668.5[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]y = \$446,600 - \$110668.5 + \$110668.5x[/tex]

[tex]y = \$335931.5 + \$110668.5x[/tex]

Hence, the linear equation is

[tex]y = \$335931.5 + \$110668.5x[/tex]

Currently, your plane is cruising at an altitude of 33,000 feet and holding steady. You are instructed from the airline control tower that you need to get to a crusing altitude either below 31,000 or above 35,000 feet. If your plane can comfortably climb at an average rate of 800 feet per minute and descend at an average rate of 500 feet per minute, what is the range of times (in minutes) it will take your plane to be in the instructed cruising altitude?

Answers

Answer:

The range of time it would take the plane to be in the instructed area is 2.5 minutes to 4 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The current altitude of the plane = 33,000 feet

The required altitude of the plane = Below 31,000 or above 35,000 feet

The average climbing speed of the plane = 800 feet per minute

The average descending speed of the plane = 500 feet per minute

The difference in the current and required altitudes are;

For climbing we have  35,000 feet - 33,000 feet = 2,000 feet

For descending we have  33,000 feet - 31,000 feet = 2,000 feet

Speed = Distance/Time

∴ Time = Distance/Speed  

Based on the climbing and descending rate, we have;

The time it would take to climb 2,000 feet is t = 2000 feet/(800 feet/minute) = 2.5 minutes

The time it would take to descend 2,000 feet is t = 2000 feet/(500 feet/minute) = 4 minutes

The range of time it would take the plane to be in the instructed area is therefore;

Time for descending to time for ascending, which is 2.5 minutes to 4 minutes.

The range of time it would take the plane to be in the instructed area = 2.5 minutes to 4 minutes.

Answers

Answer:

Slope = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

From the question the equation is

- 5x + 10y = 20

To find the slope we must first write the equation in the form above

- 5x + 10y = 20

Move - 5x to the right side of the equation

10y = 5x + 20

Divide both sides by 10

We have

[tex]y = \frac{5}{10} x + \frac{20}{10} [/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{1}{2} x + 10[/tex]

Comparing with the general form of equation above

Slope / m = 1/2

Use dimensional analysis to convert the measurements. A dwarf sea horse swims at a rate of 49.68 feet per hour. Convert this speed to inches per minute. The speed is inches per minute.

Answers

Answer:

9.936in/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the rate at which a dwarf sea horse swims expressed as 49.68 feet per hour, to convert the speed to inches per minutes, the following conversion factors must be used.

1 foot = 12inches and 1 hour = 60 minutes

49.68 feet per hour can also be written as [tex]\dfrac{49.68* 1 ft}{1 hour}[/tex]

On conversion:

[tex]= \dfrac{49.68* 1 ft}{1 hour} * \dfrac{1 hour * 12 in}{1 ft * 60min} \\\\= \dfrac{49.68* 12in}{60 min} \\\\= \dfrac{596.16in}{60 min}\\\\= 9.936 in/min[/tex]

Hence the speed expressed in inches per minute is 9.936in/min

Which of the following best defines an angle?
O A corner of a figure like a triangle or square
O Any object that has a vertex,
OTwo rays that share a common endpoint
O The point where two line segments intersect​

Answers

Answer:

Third option

Step-by-step explanation:

The first definition is not as broad as it should be, therefore, while an angle does meet that criteria, it's not a general definition, hence, it is incorrect. The second one is incorrect as well because a parabola has a vertex, and it is certainly not an angle. This definition is not specific enough, so it will be eliminated. The last one is again, too specific. The third one is the best answer because it is broad enough while still being specific.

Which system of inequalities is represented by the graph? A. {y≥1y−x 0 C. {y≤1y−x 0

Answers

Answer:

y≤1

y−x>0

Step-by-step explanation:

I just took the quiz

A graph can be used to represent a system of inequality.

The system of inequality, the graph represents is:

[tex]y \ge 1[/tex] and [tex]y - x > 0[/tex]

The attached graph has two lines.

A thick horizontal lineA dotted slant line

The thick horizontal line

Below this line, is a shaded region; and it passed through [tex]y = 1.[/tex]

This means that the horizontal line represents all values of y starting from 1.

So, the inequality is:

[tex]y \ge 1[/tex]

A dotted slanted line

First, calculate the slope of the line

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

The line passes through (0,0) and (1,1).

So, we have:

[tex]m =\frac{1-0}{1-0}[/tex]

[tex]m =1[/tex]

The equation is:

[tex]y = m(x - x_1) + y_1[/tex]

[tex]y = 1(x - 0) + 0[/tex]

[tex]y = x + 0[/tex]

[tex]y = x[/tex]

The left part of the dotted line is shaded. This represents >.

So, we have:

[tex]y> x[/tex]

Subtract x from both sides

[tex]y - x > 0[/tex]

Hence, the system of inequality, the graph represents is:

[tex]y \ge 1[/tex]

[tex]y - x > 0[/tex]

23=9-4x I don’t understand this equation

Answers

Answer:

= -7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

What the equation is saying is that 9 - 4x = 23.

x means some number we don't know, but the value of x should be able to satisfy 9 - 4x = 23

In order to find what x may be we must separate it so it is by itself.

First we subtract 9 from both sides,

9 - 9 - 4x = 23 - 9

-4x = 14

Now we divide both sides by -4 to get x,

-4x/-4 = 14/-4

x = -14/4 = -7/2

Answer:

x= -3.5 or x=-7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

23 = 9 - 4x

We want to solve for the variable, x. Therefore, we must isolate x on one side of the equation.

First, let's rearrange the equation.

23 = 9 -4x

23= -4x +9

9 is being added to -4x. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation.

23-9= -4x +9-9

23-9= -4x

14 = -4x

-4 and x are being multiplied. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by -4.

14/-4= -4x/-4

14/-4= x

-7/2=x

-3.5=x

Let's check our solution. Plug -3.5 in for x and solve.

23=9-4x    (x=-3.5)

23= 9-4(-3.5)

23= 9- -14

23= 9+14

The statement above is true, so we know our solution is correct.

The solution to the equation is x= -3.5 or x= -7/2

Multiply both sides of the second equation by 100 to get rid of the decimals:

0.05n + 0.10d = 1.50

==>  5n + 10d = 150

Multiply both sides of the first equation by -5:

n + d = 21

==>  -5n - 5d = -105

Add the two equations together:

(5n + 10d) + (-5n - 5d) = 150 + (-105)

Notice that the terms containing n get eliminated and we can solve for d :

(5n - 5n) + (10d - 5d) = 150 - 105

5d = 45

d = 45/5 = 9

Plug this into either original equation to solve for n. Doing this with the first equation is easiest:

n + 9 = 21

n = 21 - 9 = 12

Answers

Answer:

So the sequence of the five numbers are;

10,26,74,218,650

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are interested in building a sequence of 5 numbers given the initial term.

Okay, to build this sequence, we will need to look at the rule that guides the building of the new sequence:

The rule is that the next term is 4 less than 3 times the previous term.

Okay, let’s call the next term y, while the previous term is x.

Following what was specified in the question;

y = 3x -4

Recall; the next term(y) is 4 less (-4) than 3 times (3 multiplied by) the previous term (x)

So let’s start with the initial term of 10.

The next term will be;

y = 3(10) -4 = 30-4 = 26

The next term after 26 will be ;

y = 3(26) -4 = 78-4 = 74

The next term after 74 will be;

y = 3(74) -4 = 222-4 = 218

The next term after 218 will be;

y = 3(218) -4 = 650

The function h(x)= 12x^8+49 is an even function. Which transformation of h(x) would result in a function that is neither even nor odd?

Answers

Answer:

A translation (9 units) to the left will result in a function that is neither even nor odd

Step-by-step explanation:

With horizontal translation to the left, we have;

h(x) = 12(x - 9)⁸ + 49

Which gives;

h(x) = 12(x - 9)⁸ + 49 = 12(x⁸ - 72x⁷ + 2268x⁶ - 40824x⁵ + 459270x⁴ -3306744x³ + 14880348x² - 38263752x + 43046721) + 49

For x = 1, we get;

h(x) = 201326641

When we replace x by -x, we get;

h(x) = 12(-x - 9)⁸ + 49 = 12(x⁸ + 72x⁷ + 2268x⁶ + 40824x⁵ + 459270x⁴ + 3306744x³ + 14880348x² + 38263752x + 43046721) + 49

For x = 1, we get;

h(x) = 1200000049

Therefore a translation 9 units to the left will result in a function that is neither even nor odd.
