Write an equation for this model and solve for `x`

What’s the slope of the line in the graph?

zloy xaker [14]

Check the picture below, let's use those two points on the line to get its slope.

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{3}-\stackrel{y1}{1}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{2}-\underset{x_1}{0}}}\implies \cfrac{2}{2}\implies 1$

Simplify (4ab^2)^3 Any help is appreciated

Pie

Answer:

$64a^{3} b^{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Distribute the exponent outside of the parentheses to the terms inside the parentheses. In this case, multiply the 3 outside the parentheses with the exponent of each of the terms inside:

$(4ab^{2} )^3$

$4^{3}$ · $a^{3}$ · $b^{6}$

2) The variables are fine - you can't simplify them further. All you need to do now is multiply the $4^{3}$ out. Remember that it's kind of like asking, "what is 4 × 4 ×4?"

$4$ · $4$ · $4$ · $a^{3}$ · $b^{6}$

$16$ · $4$ · $a^{3}$ · $b^{6}$

$64a^{3} b^{6}$

Therefore, $64a^{3} b^{6}$ is the answer.

Constructing a brick staircase: A brick staircase has a total of 30 steps. The bottom step requires 100 bricks. Each successive

galben [10]

A) The first step needs 100 bricks, the second needs 98, the third needs 96, and so on. Therefore the number of bricks for the nth step is: a_n = a_1 + d(n-1), where a_1 = 100 (the first term), d = -2 (difference).
a_n = 100 - 2(n-1) = 102 - 2n, and for the 30th step, a_30 = 102 - 2*30 = 42. So the top step will need 42 bricks.

b) The total staircase will need: 100 + 98 + 96 + ... + 44 + 42, and there are n = 30 terms. Using the formula for the sum of an arithmetic sequence:
S = (a_1 + a_n)*n/2 = (100 + 42)*30/2 = 2130
Therefore, 2130 bricks are required to build the entire staircase.

One leg of a right triangular piece of land has a length of 24 yards. They hypotenuse has a length of 74 yards. The other leg ha

anastassius [24]

Solutions

To solve this problem we have to use the Pythagorean theorem. You can only use the Pythagorean theorem in Right Triangles. The longest side of the triangle is called the "hypotenuse". C² is the longest side so it is the hypotenuse . To calculate c² we have to do α² + β² = c².

Given

One leg of a right triangular piece of land has a length of 24 yards. They hypotenuse has a length of 74 yards. The other leg has a length of 10x yards.

First leg (24 yards) would be α

Second leg would be β

Hypotenuse (74 yards) would be c

Now we have points α β c.

a² (24) + β² ( x ) = c² (74)

Calculations

c² = α² + β²

74² = 24²+ β²

5476 = 576 + β²

5476 - 576 = β²
 
4900 = β²

→√4900
 
β = 70 yards

70 = 10x

x = 70÷10 = 7 yards

The second leg = 7 yards
