Answer:
This task would be especially well-suited for instructional purposes. Students will benefit from a class discussion about the slope, y-intercept, x-intercept, and implications of the restricted domain for interpreting more precisely what the equation is modeling.
One potential confusion students may have follows from the subtle difference between what the car is doing and the idea of slope as the ratio between the change in vertical distance on the graph and the change in horizontal distance on the graph. Because the car is traveling one mile on a down-hill slope, the situation could be represented as a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 5,280 ft and a leg of 250 ft; using the Pythagorean Theorem they would find that the other leg is approximately 5,274 ft. Following through on this interpretation, a student might conclude that the car travels a horizontal distance of approximately 5,274 ft for every 250 ft in vertical distance and arrive at a slope of approximately -0.047. While this is, in some sense, the slope of the hill, it is not the slope of the function as described. This interpretation yields numbers that are very close to the situation described in the task, yet conceptually different since the distance traveled by the car would now be expressed in terms of horizontal distance traveled as opposed to distance along the slope of the hill to compute the elevation. If students do indeed pursue this line of reasoning, the task provides an opportunity to compare and contrast the graph of the function and what it represents with a drawing of the hill and the vertical and horizontal distances traversed with each mile down the slope.
Step-by-step explanation:
You would divide both sides by 0.75, to get a=-12.
I think this is a one- step equation, but that is the only way I think you can solve it.
The inequality can be used to determine how many months will it take for Caroline's hair to be at least as long as Trinity's hair is (1/5)x + 7 ≥ (1/10)x + 10
<h3>What is an
equation? </h3>
An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables. An independent variable is a variable that does not depend on other variables while a dependent variable is a variable that depends on other variables.
Let x represent the number of months.
For Caroline's hair:
Length = (1/5)x + 7
For Trinity's hair:
Length = (1/10)x + 10
For Caroline's hair to be at least as long as Trinity's hair, hence:
(1/5)x + 7 ≥ (1/10)x + 10
The inequality can be used to determine how many months will it take for Caroline's hair to be at least as long as Trinity's hair is (1/5)x + 7 ≥ (1/10)x + 10
