It represents the value of the expression when the variable (t) is zero.

_____

If this is supposed to be an expression for ballistic motion, the constant could represent the initial height of the object in feet. There is nothing in your problem statement indication what this expression is suppose to represent. It could be pennies of profit for selling t trinkets, for all we know—where the constant term represents some initial balance you have before you sell any.

It can represent many things depending on what context the expression is used in. Most commonly, the constant term represents the y-intercept of the expression when it is graphed e.g. the graph of y = -16t² - 8t + 24 has a y-intercept of 24.

It can also represent the initial value if the expression is used in a word problem context

Select the two figures that are similar to the 5 by 10 figure that is shown.
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Figure (i) and (iv)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Optional figure is given in attached file.

We need to find two figures that are similar to the 5 by 10 figure.

All the given figure are m\times n form.

Where m represent the number of rows and n represent the number of columns.

Solution:

Observe that in the given figure 5 by 10, the number of rows is 5 and number of columns is 10, that is, the number of columns is double of that the number of rows.

So we need to find two such figures whose number of columns is double of the number of rows.

From the given figures, figure (i) the number of rows is 2 and number of columns is 4, which is double of number of rows. so it is similar to 5 by 10 figure.

Similarly in figure (iv), the number of rows is 4 and number of columns is 8. so the number of columns is double the number of rows, so it is similar to the figure 5 by 10.

Therefore, the two figures that are similar to 5 by 10 figure are given in attached file such as (i) and (iv).

Answer:

600 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • length of swimming pool = 30 m
  • width of swimming pool = 10 m
  • depth at deep end = 3 m
  • depth at shallow end = 1 m

To find the volume of the water in the pool, find the area of a cross section (see attached image) and multiply it by the width of the pool.

<u>Area of cross section</u>

= area of rectangle - area of triangle

= (3 × 30) - [1/2 × 30 × (3 - 1)]

= 90 - 30

= 60 m²

<u>Volume of pool</u>

= area of cross section × width

= 60 × 10

= 600 m³

Grace [21]
Okay. so we need 15 2/5 pound bags. We'll calculate how many pounds that actually comes to. Our problem is 15x2/5. Using cross simplification, our problem becomes 3x2. 3x2=6. We need 6 pounds. That means that we must have 6 1-pound bags to fit with no leftovers.
