Answer:

y = -0.6x^2 + 5x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the equation of a linear line that passes through the points (0,6) and (3, 15.6) in the slope intercept form, y = mx + b. We know that the line has a y-intercept of 6, so b = 6. Substitute 3 for x, 15.6 for y, and 6 for b to find m.

y = mx + b

15.6 = 3m + 6

9.6 = 3m

m = 3.2

y = 3.2x + 6

y = a(x - 0)(x - 3) + 3.2x + 6

y = a(x)(x - 3) + 3.2x + 6

Finally, substitute 10 for x and -4 for y in the equation above to find a.

-4 = a(10)(10 - 3) + 3.2*10 + 6

-4 = a(10)(7) + 32 + 6

-4 = 70a + 38

-42 = 70a

a = -0.6

Simplify to write in standard form.

y = -0.6(x)(x - 3) + 3.2x + 6

y = -0.6x^2 + 5x + 6

You have a dog-walking business. You charge $12 per hour. Let's define n as the amount you earn and h as the number of
Goshia [24]

Answer:

n = 12h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

r = 12/hr --- rate

h \to hours

n \to amount

Required

Determine which solution is correct or incorrect

The solutions are not given. So, I will provide a general explanation

The amount (n) is calculated as:

n = r  * h

So, we have:

n = 12  * h

n = 12h

The above is the general equation to solve for the amount, given h hours

When h = 2.5, we have:

n = 12*2.5

n = 30

The difference of the square of a number and 40 is equal to 3 times that number. Find the positive solution.
Wewaii [24]

Answer: The answer is 8.

Step-by-step explanation: The first step is to convert the expression into figures. We shall call the unknown number Y. So if we are told “the square of a number,” that means Y squared, or better still, Y^2. Further we are told “the difference between the square of a number and 40” and that can be written as;

Y^2 - 40.

Next we are told that this expression is equal to 3 times that number (that is 3Y). That can now be written out as follows,

Y^2 - 40 = 3Y

If we move all expressions to one side of the equation, what we would have is,

Y^2 - 3Y -40 = 0

(Remember that when a positive value crosses to the other side of an equation it becomes negative and vice versa)

We now have a quadratic equation

Y^2 -3Y - 40 = 0

By factorizing we now have

(Y -8) (Y + 5) = 0

Therefore Y - 8 = 0 or

Y + 5 = 0

Hence, Y = 8 or Y = -5

Since we are asked to calculate the positive solution, Y = 8

2, 6, 10, 15, ...<br><br> O Arithmetic<br> O Geometric<br> O Neither<br> 
natima [27]

Given:

The sequence is:

2, 6, 10, 15,...

To find:

Whether the given sequence is Arithmetic, Geometric, Neither.

Solution:

We have,

2, 6, 10, 15,...

Different between consecutive terms are:

6-2=4

10-6=4

15-10=5

Since 4\neq 5, therefore the given sequence has no common difference. It means it is not an arithmetic sequence.

Ratio of consecutive terms are:

\dfrac{6}{2}=3

\dfrac{10}{6}=\dfrac{5}{3}

Since 3\neq \dfrac{5}{3}, therefore the given sequence has no common ratio. It means it is not a geometric sequence.

Since the given sequence is neither arithmetic nor geometric, therefore the correct option is C.
