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.

Answer: $9\pi \ in.^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The height of the cylinder is $h=7\ in.$

The volume of the cylinder is $V=63\pi \ in.^3$

The volume of the cylinder is the product of area and height

$\Rightarrow V=\pi r^2h\\$

Insert the values

$\Rightarrow 63\pi =A\times 7\\\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{63\pi}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow A=9\pi\ in.^2$

Thus, the area of the cross-section is $9\pi \ in.^2$

Keith_Richards [23]

For 1 play, the chance of gaining $8 is 4/38, while the chance of losing the $1 is 34/38. Therefore, the expected value is ($8)(4/38) + ($-1)(34/38) = $(-1/19). Over 50 plays, which are mutually independent of each other, we multiply the number of plays by the expected value to get $(-50/19) = $-2.63.

$y= \frac{a}{x-h} +k
\\x=4 \ vertical\ asymptote
\\ Vertical\ asymptote \ can\ be\ found \ from
\\ \\x - h = 0,\ x=h,
\\ \\ so \ h = 4
\\ \\ y= \frac{a}{x-4} + k= \frac{a+kx-4k}{x-4} 
\\Vertical\ asymptote \ can\ be\ found\ as 
\\ \\ \frac{kx}{x} = k.
\\ We\ know\ that\ vertical\ asymptote\ is\ 2,\ so\ k=2.
\\ \\ y= \frac{a}{x-4} + 2
\\ \\ We \ need\ to\ find\ a.\ We\ have\ point\ (5,4),\ that\ belongs\ to\ \\this\ function.\ So,
\\ \\ y= \frac{a}{x-4} + 2
\\ \\4= \frac{a}{5-4} + 2



$

$4= \frac{a}{5-4} + 2
\\ \\ 2= \frac{a}{1} 
\\ \\ a=2
\\ \\ So,\ hyperbola\ has\ formula
\\ \\ y= \frac{2}{x-4} +2$
