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.

(2b) A rectangular prism measures 2 &amp; 2/5 inches by 3 &amp; 1/5 inches by 2 inches. How many cubes with edge length 1/5 inch
erastova [34]

Answer:

1920 cubes.

Step-by-step explanation

Turn both the mix numbers into improper fractions.

2 2/5 = 12/5

3 1/5 = 16/5

Then you will turn 1/5 into its reciprocal and multiply both the improper fractions by it. You can just casually multiply 2 and 5.

12/5 * 5/1 = 12

16/5 * 5/1 = 16

2 * 5 = 10

Next you multiply all together to get 1920 cubes.

(I could be missing a step. I apologize if I did.)

Suppose y varies inversely as x, and y=25 when x=3. Find x when y=15
malfutka [58]

Answer:

If

y

varies inversely as

x

then

XXX

x

⋅

y

=

c

for some constant

c

We are told when

x

=

2

then

y

=

15

So

XXX

2

⋅

15

=

c

XXX

⇒

c

=

30

and

XXX

x

⋅

y

=

30

Therefore when

y

=

3

XXX

x

⋅

3

=

30

XXX

→

x

=

10

5+3×=6+2×what's this ​
Nutka1998 [239]

First combine like terms ( x's go with x's), so subtract 2x to both sides and you get:

5+ (3x-2x) = 6 + (2x-2x)

5 + x = 6

Isolate x by bringing 5 to the other side by subtraction

(5-5) + x = (6-5)

x = 1

Hope this helped!
