Fourty and eight tenths as a decimals is 40.8. More than one pounds behind decimal is too much and a different number other than 8 is wrong. The answer is B: 40.8.
Answer:
put -2 in -2 / put -2 again in same spot and again just do it for 3 times then 1/3 in the middle of 0 and -2 but a bit closer to the -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Using a linear function, it is found that the product rs is rs = 81.
<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, when x changes by 68(from -64 to 68), y changes by -16(from 12 to -4), hence the slope is given by:
m = -16/64 = -0.25.
Hence:
y = -0.25x + b.
When x = 34, y = -4, hence this is used to find b.
-4 = -0.25(34) + b
b = 4.5.
Hence the function is:
y = -0.25x + 4.5.
f(r) = 0, hence:
-0.25x + 4.5 = 0
x = 4.5/0.25
x = 18
r = 18.
f (0) = s, hence s = 4.5.
Then the value of the product is:
rs = 18 x 4.5 = 81.

Expanding the left side gives

which gives two solutions,

and

. But if

, then

, but this number isn't real, so

is an extraneous solution. Meanwhile if

, you get

, so this solution is correct.
"Potential solutions" might refer to both possibilities, but there is only one actual (real) solution.
Which one will we start with? I'll explain 21. multiply it out and the clean it up. you should end up with 140=A if I'm correct.
