Whats the acctual question
Answer:
The ferris wheel travelled 434.717 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that the ferris wheel is a perfect circle, then it's height is the same as the diameter of the circle, therefore it's radius is:
radius = height/2 = 246/2 = 123 ft
The distance travelled by the ferris wheel is the same as the length of the arc created by a angle of (9pi/8). The length of an arc is given by:
length = r*(angle in radians)
length = 123*(9pi/8)
length = 434.717 ft
The ferris wheel travelled 434.717 ft.
14 x 10^3 = 14,000 (the elephants weight)
So the cat weighs 14 pounds
This is a linear function, of the kind y = mx + b
where x is the number of visit, b is the weight when x = 0, and m is the predicted change of weight for every visit.
m = - 4 ounces / visit, which must be converted to pounds (the negative sign indicates that the change is a decrease)
1 lb = 16 ounces = 4 ounces = 0.25 lb
Then m = - 0.25 lb / visit.
Now, for x = 1, y = 126 => 126 = - 0.25(1) + b => b = 126 + 0.25 = 126.25
Then the function is y = 126.25 - 0.25x
Now round to the nearest tenth:
y = 126.3 - 0.3x
Answer: y = 126.3 - 0.3x
