meters tall. Write the equation in point-slope form that models the situation. Then, predict
the height of the tree after 8 years.

Multiple Choice Answers:

Oy- 3-0.4(x - 1.7); 5.52 meters
Oy- 1.7= 3(x-0.4); 24.5 meters
Oy- 0.4 1.7(x - 3); 8.9 meters
Oy- 1.7 = 0.4(x - 3); 3.7 meters

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1.7 = 3(x - 0.4)

Step-by-step explanation:

0.4 x 8 = 3.2

3(3.2 - 0.4) = 8.9 metres

Answer 2

The equation in point-slope form that models the situation is y - 1.7 = 0.4(x - 3) and the height of the tree after 8 years is 3.7 meters.

What is Slope?

Slope of a line is the ratio of the change in y coordinates to the change in the x coordinates of two points given.

The given situation can be expressed as the linear equation.

Equation in point slope form is,

y - y' = m (x - x')

where m is the slope and (x', y') is a point on the line.

Rate of the growth of the tree = 0.4 meters per year.

So, slope = 0.4

We have a point (3, 1.7).

Substituting to the point slope form,

y - 1.7 = 0.4(x - 3), which is the required form.

After 8 years,

y - 1.7 = 0.4(8 - 3)

y = 3.7 meters

Hence the equation is y - 1.7 = 0.4(x - 3) and the height of the tree after 8 years is 3.7 meters.

the the area of a rectangle with perimeter 40 cm and 75 cm square find the length and width of the rectangle​

Answers

Answer: 15cm and 5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle's area is the product of the length and width

Given length x and width y, 2x+2y = 40 and x*y = 75.

Verifying my answer:

2(15)+2(5) = 40

30+10 = 40

40 = 40

15*5 = 75

75= 75

This is a week late so I hope this helped.

The length and the width of the rectangle​ are 15cm and 5cm respectively

How to find the length and width of the rectangle​?

The given parameters are:

Area (A) = 75

Perimeter (P) = 40

The area of a rectangle is LW, while the perimeter is 2(L + W)

So, we have:

LW = 75

2(L + W) = 40

Divide by 2

L + W = 20

Make L the subject

L = 20 - W

Substitute L = 20 - W in LW = 75

(20 - W)W = 75

Expand

20W - W^2 = 75

Rewrite as:

W^2 - 20W + 75 = 0

Expand

W^2 - 15W - 5W + 75 = 0

Factorize

(W - 15)(W -5) = 0

Split

W - 15 = 0 or W - 5 = 0

Solve for W

W = 15 or W = 5

Recall that:

L= 20 - W

So, we have

L = 20 - 15 or L = 20 - 5

This gives

L = 5 or L = 15

Hence, the length and the width of the rectangle​ are 15cm and 5cm respectively

If the sum of first n terms of an AP is 3n² + 5n find the AP.

Answers

Let a (n) denote the n-th term in the progression. Consecutive terms in the sequence differ by a fixed constant - call it c - such that

a (n) = a (n - 1) + c

Let a = a (1) be the first term in the sequence. We can solve for a (n) in terms of a alone:

a (n) = a (n - 1) + c

a (n) = (a (n - 2) + c) + c = a (n - 2) + 2c

a (n) = (a (n - 3) + c) + c = a (n - 3) + 3c

and so on, down to

a (n) = a + (n - 1) c

The sum of the first n terms is then

\(\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^n a(k)=\sum_{k=1}^n(a+(k-1)c)=a\sum_{k=1}^n1+c\sum_{k=1}^n(k-1)=an+\frac{cn(n-1)}2=\frac c2n^2+\left(a-\frac c2\right)n\)

Since this is equal to 3n ^2 + 5n, it follows that

c/2 = 3   =>   c = 6

a - c/2 = 5   =>   a = 8

So the sequence is

a (n) = 8 + (n - 1) 6 = 6n + 2

2. If the company offered an extra large pizza, you could find out how much of it a person ate if they cut their own piece with a central angle of M°

How to calculate the value

Andy's oldest daughter ate the most pizza. She ate the entire personal pizza, which is 10 inches in diameter. This means that she ate 100% of the pizza. Andy's wife ate 2/6 of the small pizza, which is 12 inches in diameter. This means that she ate 1/3 of the pizza. Andy's younger daughter ate 1/8 of the medium pizza, which is 14 inches in diameter.

This means that she ate 12.5% of the pizza. Andy cut himself a piece that had a central angle of 180° from the large pizza, which is 16 inches in diameter. This means that he ate 50% of the pizza.

The least amount of pizza was eaten by Andy's younger daughter. She only ate 1/8 of the medium pizza.

2. If the company offered an extra large pizza, you could find out how much of it a person ate if they cut their own piece with a central angle of M° by using the following formula:

Percentage of pizza eaten = (M° / 360°) * 100%

For example, if a person cut themselves a piece of an extra large pizza with a central angle of 180°, they would have eaten 50% of the pizza.

Percentage of pizza eaten = (180° / 360°) * 100% = 50%

Find the area of the trapezoid at the right. the left side is 5cm, the the top is 6cm, the side is 5.4cm, and the bottom on the right is 2cm.

Answers

The area of a trapezoid and the given measurements, we found that the area of the trapezoid is 15.64 square centimeters.

To find the area of the trapezoid, we can use the formula:

Area = (b1 + b2)h / 2

where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the parallel sides, and h is the height (or distance between the parallel sides).

In this case, the left side (b1) is 5cm, the right side (b2) is 2cm, the top is 6cm, and the height is the distance between the top and bottom sides, which can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem as:

h =\(sqrt(5.4^2 - (6-2)^2) = sqrt(20.16)\) = 4.49cm (rounded to two decimal places)

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

Area = (5 + 2) * 4.49 / 2 = 15.64 square centimeters (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 15.64 square centimeters.

Answers

Answer:

  288 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming your "altitude" is the height of the prism--the distance between bases, the lateral area is the sum of the areas of the six rectangular faces. Each of those has an area of ...

  (8 in)(6 in) = 48 in^2

so the 6 of them will have an area of ...

  lateral area = 6×48 in^2 = 288 in^2

_____

Comment on nomenclature

'Altitude' is usually associated with the height of a triangle. In the case of a regular polygon, the 'altitude' of a triangular section of the polygon is called the 'apothem', and is often designated using the letter 'a'. If the polygon is regular, the apothem can be calculated from the side length and the number of sides, but it is often given in problems involving area, perimeter, and/or volume.

The distance between the parallel bases of a prism is often referred to as the prism height or length. The use of the word 'altitude' is confusing in this case.

Since the lateral area is the product of the perimeter of the base and the distance between bases, we have to assume that your 'altitude' refers to the distance between bases. Otherwise, there is not sufficient information to work the problem.

Answers

The values of functions are

(a) f(0) = -3.                           (b) f(4) = 77.

(c) f(-4) = 45.                         (d) -f(x) = -4x² - 4x + 3.

(e) f(x+1) =  4x² + 12x + 1.       (f) f(-x) =  4x² - 4x - 3.

(g) f(3x) =  36x² + 12x - 3.

(h) f(x+h) =  4x² + 8xh + 4h² + 4x + 4h - 3.

Evaluating functions:

The concept used in this question is evaluating a polynomial function for different values of the input variable. To do this, we substitute the given value into the function in place of the input variable and simplify the resulting expression.

Here we have

The function f(x) = 4x² + 4x-3.

To find the values of functions can be done by replacing x

(a) f(0) = 4(0)² + 4(0) - 3 = 0 + 0 - 3 = -3

(b) f(4) = 4(4)² + 4(4) - 3 = 64 + 16 - 3 = 77

(c) f(-4) = 4(-4)² + 4(-4) - 3 = 64 - 16 - 3 = 45

(d) -f(x) = -[4x² + 4x - 3] = -4x² - 4x + 3.

(e) f(x+1) = 4(x+1)² + 4(x+1) - 3 = 4(x² + 2x + 1) + 4x + 4 - 3 = 4x² + 12x + 1.

(f) f(-x) = 4(-x)² + 4(-x) - 3 = 4x² - 4x - 3.

(g) f(3x) = 4(3x)² + 4(3x) - 3 = 36x² + 12x - 3.

(h) f(x+h) = 4(x+h)² + 4(x+h) - 3 = 4(x² + 2xh + h²) + 4x + 4h - 3

= 4x² + 8xh + 4h² + 4x + 4h - 3.

Hence,

The values of functions are

(a) f(0) = -3.                           (b) f(4) = 77.

(c) f(-4) = 45.                         (d) -f(x) = -4x² - 4x + 3.

(e) f(x+1) =  4x² + 12x + 1.       (f) f(-x) =  4x² - 4x - 3.

Find the value of x such that the line containing (1,2) and (5,3) is perpendicular to the line containing (x,4) and (3,0)

Answers

The value of x that makes the line containing (1,2) and (5,3) perpendicular to the line containing (x,4) and (3,0) is x = 2.

To determine the value of x such that the line containing (1,2) and (5,3) is perpendicular to the line containing (x,4) and (3,0), we need to find the slope of both lines and apply the concept of perpendicular lines.

The slope of a line can be found using the formula:

slope = (change in y) / (change in x)

For the line containing (1,2) and (5,3), the slope is:

slope1 = (3 - 2) / (5 - 1) = 1 / 4

To find the slope of the line containing (x,4) and (3,0), we use the same formula:

slope2 = (0 - 4) / (3 - x) = -4 / (3 - x)

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other. In other words, if the slope of one line is m, then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is -1/m.

So, we can set up the equation:

-1 / (1/4) = -4 / (3 - x)

Simplifying this equation:

-4 = -4 / (3 - x)

To remove the fraction, we can multiply both sides by (3 - x):

-4(3 - x) = -4

Expanding and simplifying:

-12 + 4x = -4

Adding 12 to both sides:

4x = 8

Dividing both sides by 4:

x = 2
