The function representing the height is y = 36 - \frac{3}{4} x.

<h3>What is function?</h3>

A formula, rule, or legislation that specifies how one variable (the independent variable) and another variable are related (the dependent variable). In mathematics, functions exist everywhere, and they are crucial for constructing physical links in the sciences.

<h3>What is fraction?</h3>

Any number of equal parts is represented by a fraction, which also represents a portion of a whole. A fraction, such as one-half, eight-fifths, or three-quarters, indicates how many components of a particular size there are when stated in ordinary English.

Given that,

Height of rails h is 36in.

The rate of decrement is 9 inches for every 12 horizontal inches,

We represent the rate (r) as a fraction.

r = -\frac{9}{12} (negative, because it decreases),

r = -\frac{3}{4},

So, the function is

Y = h + r × x

Where,

X is distance from top

So, y = 36 -\frac{3}{4}x

A horse can run 1 3/8 of a mie in 1 3/5 minute. how long does it take the horse to run 1 mile
mario62 [17]

A horse can run 1 3/8 of a mile in 1 3/5 minute. How long does it take the horse to run 1 mile?

So what i would personally do first is convert the fractions into decimals.

1 3/8= 11/8= 1.375    of a mile  

1 3/5= 8/5 =1.6         of a minute

Now we find the rate of change

I

Solve 2 1/2 divided by 5 1/3 = 8/x
ipn [44]
2\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \quad divided\quad by\quad 5\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \\ \\ 2\frac { 1 }{ 2 } =2+\frac { 1 }{ 2 } =\frac { 5 }{ 2 } \\ \\ 5\frac { 1 }{ 3 } =5+\frac { 1 }{ 3 } =\frac { 15+1 }{ 3 } =\frac { 16 }{ 3 } \\ \\ \\ \frac { \frac { 5 }{ 2 }  }{ \frac { 16 }{ 3 }  }

We're dividing fractions, so we will flip the one in the denominator upside down and we will multiply it with the numerator.

\frac { \frac { 5 }{ 2 }  }{ \frac { 16 }{ 3 }  } \quad =\quad \frac { 5 }{ 2 } \cdot \frac { 3 }{ 16 } =\frac { 5\cdot 3 }{ 2\cdot 16 } =\frac { 15 }{ 32 }

Let's equal this too 8/x

\frac { 15 }{ 32 } =\frac { 8 }{ x }

Cross multiply. 

8\cdot 32=15\cdot x\\ \\ 256=15x

Divide both sides by 15.

\frac { 256 }{ 15 } =\frac { 15x }{ 15 } \\ \\ \frac { 256 }{ 15 } =x

In circle Z, what is m∠2?
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

In a circle, interior angles that are not inscribed or central can be found using the formula < = larger arc + smaller arc / 2. So, in order to find <2, the formula would be <2 = 147 + 133 / 2, so 140.
