Using a linear function, it is found that the rate of change in this problem situation is of -2 contestants per week.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

Considering the situation described, the number of participants after n weeks is given by:

N(n) = 20 - 2n.

The slope is of -2, hence the rate of change in this problem situation is of -2 contestants per week.

Alex, Bruno, and Charles each add the lengths of two sides of the same triangle correctly. They get 27 cm, 35 cm, 32 cm, respect
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

47 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex, Bruno, and Charles each add the lengths of two sides of the same triangle correctly.

They get  27 cm, 35 cm, and 32 cm, respectively. Find the perimeter of the triangle, in cm

find:

Find the perimeter of the triangle, in cm. What is the most efficient strategy you can find to solve this problem?

<u>solution:</u>

27, 35, and 32 are each the sum of a different pair of sides of the triangle

Then 27 + 35 + 32 is the sum of all three sides, each counted twice.

Thus, 27 + 35 + 32 = 94 is twice  the perimeter

therefore,

the perimeter of the triangle is 94/2 = 47 cm.

The point slope of a line that has a slope of -2 and passes through point (5,-2) is shown below. Which equation is in slope inte
kramer
Y + 2 = -2(x - 5)

Simplify.

y + 2 = -2x + 10

Subtract 2 from both sides.

y = -2x + 10 - 2

Simplify.

y = -2x + 8 → Slope-intercept form

Our answer is the second option : y=-2x+8

Which of the following is the same as 1.207 x 107?
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

C. Or the third option

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply something by a power of ten the decimal moves either left or right by the exponent. That probably sounds really confusing but here are some examples. If you multiply a number by 10^4 the decimal will move right 4 places making the number larger. Meanwhile if you multiplied it by 10^-4  it will move to the left 4 places making the number smaller. In your case, when you multiply 1.207 by 10^7, the decimal moves  places to the right which makes it 12,070,000
