Answer:

-\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope/Gradient = \frac{y1-y2}{x1-x2}

P = (-8 , 3) (x1, y1)

Q = (-6 , 2) (x2, y2)

Slope = \frac{3-2}{-8-(-6)} =\frac{1}{-8+6} = \frac{1}{-2} = -\frac{1}{2}

Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the slope is (change in y)/(change in x) or Rise/Run.

The change in y for the two points is: 3 --> 2 which is -1

The change in x for the two points is: -8 --> -6 which is +2

If we input these numbers in the slope equation, we end up with -1/2.

Since we cannot simplify -1/2 further, that is our final answer.

A box with a square base and open top must have a volume of 32,000 cm3. find the dimensions of the box that mini- mize the amoun
zmey [24]
Alrighty


squaer base so length=width, nice


v=lwh
but in this case, l=w, so replace l with w
V=w²h

and volume is 32000
32000=w²h


the amount of materials is the surface area
note that there is no top
so
SA=LW+2H(L+W)
L=W so
SA=W²+2H(2W)
SA=W²+4HW

alrighty

we gots
SA=W²+4HW and
32000=W²H

we want to minimize the square foottage
get rid of one of the variables
32000=W²H
solve for H
32000/W²=H
subsitute

SA=W²+4WH
SA=W²+4W(32000/W²)
SA=W²+128000/W

take derivitive to find the minimum
dSA/dW=2W-128000/W²
where does it equal 0?

0=2W-1280000/W²
128000/W²=2W
128000=2W³
64000=W³
40=W

so sub back
32000/W²=H
32000/(40)²=H
32000/(1600)=H
20=H

the box is 20cm height and the width and length are 40cm

Solve 41-9+(8×2.3)-15+(2.1×4)
dsp73
(8x2.3)= (18.4)
(2.1x4)= (8.4)
Now you should have:
41-9+18.4-15+8.4
9+18= 27
15+8.4= 23.4
Should have:
41-27-23.4= -9.4
