y = 4

Explanation: $\begin{gathered} 3\text{ : y = 18 : 24} \\ 3\colon y\text{ = }\frac{3}{y} \\ 18\colon24\text{ = }\frac{18}{24} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{y}\text{ = }\frac{18}{24} \\ \text{cross mult}iply\colon \\ 3(24)\text{ = y(18)} \\ \text{divide both sides by 18:} \\ \frac{3(24)}{18}\text{ = }\frac{18y}{18} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} y\text{ = }\frac{24}{6} \\ y\text{ = 4} \end{gathered}$

Write an equation of the line below.

Veronika [31]

Answer: y=2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope-intercept form: y=ax+b

----------------------------------------

#1 Find the slope

- Use rise/run to find the slope: 8/4=2

- Use slope formula: (2-(-6))/(0-(-4))=8/4=2

#2 Find the y-intercept

- Given the point (2, 0) it is already the y-intercept which is 2

----------------------------------------

a=2

b=2

y=2x+2

How do you write 996 as a fraction, mixed number, or whole number in simplest form?

sveticcg [70]

To convert a mixed number to its lowest form, one needs to change the mixed number into an improper fraction and then reduce this improper fraction to the lowest possible fraction. To do these conversions, one needs to perform a few calculations. One also has to understand the definitions of "mixed number," "improper fraction" and "proper fraction."

A proper fraction is a fraction that has a lower number in the numerator and a higher number in denominator, such as the fraction three-fourths. An improper fraction is the inverse of this, which entails the higher number in numerator and lower number in the denominator, like 5/3. A mixed number is a whole number with a fraction, such as 1 3/4.

To convert the mixed number 1 3/4, one has to multiply the denominator 4 by the whole number 1 that gives 4, add this 4 to the 3 in the numerator to get 7 and place 7 over the denominator to find the improper fraction 7/4. In this case, this is the lowest form for this mixed number. However, if the mixed number is 6 4/6, then this converts to the improper fraction 40/6. One can divide the numerator and denominator of 40/6 by 2 to find that 20/3 is the lowest form for the mixed number 6 4/6.To convert a mixed number to its lowest form, one needs to change the mixed number into an improper fraction and then reduce this improper fraction to the lowest possible fraction.

The quadratic function h(t)=-16.1t^2 + 150 models a balls height, in feet, over time, in seconds, after it is dropped from a 15

katrin [286]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: The first graphic representation.

We are given a quadratic equation, meaning that it could be two possible solutions for the exercise, however, we are talking about time, so we have to consider only the obtained positive values.

Let's make the equation equal to 0 in order to find the values of "t"

$h(t)=-16.1t^2 + 150\\0=-16.1t^2 + 150\\16.1t^2=150\\t^2=\frac{150}{16.1}=9.32\\t=+-\sqrt{9.32}=+-3.05\\t1=3.05\\t2=-305$

So, discarding the negative value, we can use the possitive value to find the correct graphic representation.

To find the correct graphic representation we must take into consideration the following:

- We must remember that the sign of the coefficient of the quadratic term (t^2) will define if the parabola opens downward or upward.

From the given quadratic (or parabola) equation we have:

$a=-1\\b=0\\c=150$

So, since the coefficient of the quadratic term is negative, the parabola opens downward.

- Since we are looking for a graphic that represents the change in height over time, we need to look for a graphic that shows only positive values for the x-axis (time)

- We are looking for a parabola which y-axis intercept is equal to 150.

Therefore, the graphic representation of the quadratic function that models a ball's height over time is the first graphic representation.

Have a nice day!
