Andrej [43]1 year ago

Using the graph of the linear function y = x, the ocean floor will spread 10 inches in 10 years.

<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.

The linear function that models this situation is:

y = x.

Which means that the ocean floor spreads at a rate of 1 inch per year.

Looking at point A on the graph, when x = 10, y = 10, hence the ocean floor will spread 10 inches in 10 years.

For the equation y= x + 5, find the value of y when
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

a) 3 b) 5 c) 7 d) 9

Step-by-step explanation:

For this, you want to replace x in the equation y=x+5 with each of the values listed.

For the first one, -2, the equation becomes y=-2+5, which is solved to y=3.

For the second one, 0, the equation becomes y=0+5, which is solved to y=5.

For the third one, 2, the equation becomes y=2+5, which is solved to y=7.

For the last one, 4, the equation becomes y=4+5, which is solved to y=9.

Answer: Approximately 72.69 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Antenna height = h

sin(42.3)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} =\frac{h}{108} \\\\108*sin(42.3)=h\\\\h=72.685

Plz help me with this
goldenfox [79]
Area of triangle=1/2(base×height)
360=1/2((4x-2)(7x+5))
720=(4x-2)(7x+5)
FOIL the binomial
720=28x^2+6x-10
Bring 720 to the other side
28x^2+6x-10-720=0
28x^2+6x-730=0
Factor 2 out
2(14x^2+3x-365)=0
Factor 2(14x+73)(x-5)=0
x-5=0
x=5
It can't be 14x-73=0 because the length can't be negative.
You're welcome.
