The linear function that calculates the expected distance from the sun of the Voyager-2 spacecraft in x years after 1990 is given by:

y = 3.3x + 30.6.

<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.

In this problem, we have that the distance increases 33 AU each 10 years, hence the slope is given by:

m = 33/10 = 3.3.

Hence:

y = 3.3x + b.

When x = 28, y = 123, hence we use it to find b as follows:

123 = 3.3(28) + b

b = 30.6.

Hence equation to calculate the expected distance from the sun of the Voyager-2 spacecraft in x years after 1990 is given by:

y = 3.3x + 30.6.

The length of a rectangular garden is 30 yards more than the width. The perimeter is 300 yards. Find the length and width
andre [41]

Answer:

60 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

300 = 2(30 + w) + 2(w)

300 = 60 +2w + 2w

300 = 60 + 4w

240 = 4w

60 = w

Aisha wants to paint the four walls of her living room. Each wall is 2.6 m high and 3.5 m long. One wall has a door of 2.2 m by
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

£22

Step-by-step explanation:

Area to be painted

4walls - door

a = 4(2.6 * 3.5) - 2.2 * 0.8

a = 34.64 m²

Paint needed

p = 34.64 / 8

p = 4.33

Must round up

p = 5 liters

Tins needed

t = 5/2

t = 2.5

must round up

t = 3

Cost

since 1 is free with 2 will pay for 2

c = 11 * 2

c = 22
