Suppose that the weight (in pounds) of an airplane is a linear function of the total amount of fuel (in gallons) in its tahk. Wh

en graphed, the function gives a linewith a slope of 6.0. See the figure below.With 51 gallons of fuel in its tank,the airplane has a weight of 2206 pounds. What is the weight of the plane with 17 gallons of fuel in its tank?

Answer:

2002 pounds

Explanation:

To know the weight of the plane, we need to find an equation that relates the amount of fuel to the weight.

This equation can be founded using the following

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Where m is the slope, x1 is the number of gallons and y1 is the respective weight. So, replacing m = 6.0, x1 = 51 gallons and y1 = 2206 pounds, we get:

y-2206=6(x-51)

Now, we can solve for y

\begin{gathered} y-2206=6(x)-6(51) \\ y-2206=6x-306 \\ y=6x-306+2206 \\ y=6x+1900 \end{gathered}

Then, we can calculate the weight of an airplane with 17 gallons of fuel replacing x = 17 on the equation above

y = 6x + 1900

y = 6(17) + 1900

y = 102 + 1900

y = 2002

Therefore, the answer is 2002 pounds

1. Using c=2pi(r), plug in 7 for r and solve. Then using a=pi(r)^2, plug in 7 for r once again and solve.

2. First, the diameter (d) is 12 so to get the radius (r), divide 12 by 2 and you should get 6. Then use c=2pi(r) for circumference and a=pi(r)^2 for area to solve.

3. To get the area of the semicircle, divide 16 by 2 to get the radius (r), plug it into a=pi(r)^2, and divide the answer you get for a by 2. To get the area of the triangle, use a=1/2bh, plugging in 16 for b and 10 for h. Finally, add your two answers (the a's from the semicircle and triangle problems).

4. Multiply 20 by 5.5 to get the area of the triangle. Then multiply 4.5 by 20 to get the area of the parallelogram and add your two quotients.

5. Use a=1/2bh and plug in 4 for b and 3 for h and solve. Then multiply the quotient by 10 and there's your volume. To find the surface area, solve SA=(10×4)+(10×3)+(10×5)+12. All I did there was find the area of all the sides and added them together.

6. To find the triangle's volume, use a=1/2bh (b=4, h=1.5) and then multiply the quotient of that by 2.5. To find the rectangle's volume, use v=lwh (l=4, w=2.5, h=2) and solve. Finally, add the triangle's volume and the rectangle's volume to get the total volume. To get its surface area, start with the rectangle. Find the areas of all the sides and add them together but then subtract the 2.5×4 rectangle as it is not on the surface. It should look like this: SA=2(4×2)+2(2.5×2)+10. Again, all I did was find the areas of all the rectangle's sides on the surface and added them. Next, find the triangle's areas on the surface and it should look like this: SA=2(1.5×4)+2(2.5×2.5). Finally, add both values of SA from the triangle and rectangle and there's your surface area.

Explain why you can subtract exponents when you are dividing two powers with the same base.
masya89 [10]

When you divide numbers, you make the value smaller.  So subtract the exponents will make the value with that base smaller.

15. Scott and Tara were asked to find the
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Both Scott and Tara have responded correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a trapezoid is equal to

A=(1/2)[b1+b2]h

we have

b1=16 cm

b2=24 cm

h=8 cm -----> <em>Note</em> The height is 8 cm instead of 18 cm

substitute

A=(1/2)[16+24](8)

A=160 cm²

<em>Verify Scott 's work</em>

<em>Note</em> Scott wrote A = (1/2)(24 + 16)(8) instead of A = 2(24 + 16)(8)

Remember that the Commutative Property establishes "The order of the addends does not alter its result"

so

(24+16)=(16+24)

A = (1/2)(24 + 16)(8)=160 cm²

<em>Verify Tara's work</em>

<em>Note</em> Tara wrote A = (1/2)(16+24)(8) instead of A = (16 + 24)(8)

A = (1/2)(16+24)(8)=160 cm²

Answer:

\boxed{\sf{4}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a slope form.

<u>Slope:</u>

\sf{\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{rise}{run}  }

y₂ = (17)

y₁ = (1)

x₂ = (2)

x₁ = (-2)

Then, rewrite the problem.

Solve.

\sf{\dfrac{17-1}{2-(-2)}=\dfrac{16}{4}=\dfrac{16\div4}{4\div4}=\dfrac{4}{1}=\boxed{\sf{4}    }

Therefore, the slope is 4, which is our answer.

I hope this helps you! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.

Please help this is so confusing
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Triangle #2

Step-by-step explanation:

Translation involves the movement of a triangle without changing its direction or shape. It basically involves the sliding of a triangle, so Triangle 2 satisfies the definition of translation.
