Answer:

12 trips

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Dimension of cone shapef pile of earth;

height h = 12 ft = 4 yards

diameter d = 30 ft = 10 yards

radius r = d/2 = 10/2 = 5 yards

The volume of a cone V;

V = (1/3)πr^2 h

Substituting the given values;

V = (1/3) ×π × 5^2 × 4 cubic yards

V = 104.72 cubic yards

Given that a dump truck have a capacity of 9 cubic yards.

Vc = 9 cubic yards

Number of trips it will take is;

N = Volume of earth pile/truck capacity

N = V/Vc

Substituting the values;

N = 104.72/9

N = 11.64

N ≈ 12 trips

Therefore, the truck will make 12 trips

The slope of the function, f(x) can be determined by choosing two sets of ordered pairs from the table and substituting their values into the slope formula.

Let (x1, y1) = (0, -1)
(x2, y2) = (1, 7)

Plug these values into the slope formula:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = [7 - (-1)] / [1 - 0]
m = (7 + 1) / 1
m = 8/1 or 8.

Therefore, the slope of f(x), m = 8.

The y-intercept of the function, f(x) is given by (0, -1), as it is the point on the graph where it crosses the y-axis. It is also the value of y when x = 0.

The equation of the linear function, f(x) is:
f(x) = 8x - 1.

Given the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m represents the slope of the line, and b represents the y-intercept:

The function, g(x) = 3x - 2 has a slope of 3, and y-intercept of -2.

Comparing the slope and y-intercept of the two functions, f(x) and g(x):

The slope of f(x), m = 8 is greater and steeper than the slope of g(x), m = 3. The y-intercept of f(x), b = -1 is greater than the y-intercept of g(x), b = -2.

Attached is a screenshot of the graph of both lines, including their y-intercepts. The blue line is g(x) = 3x - 2, and the red line is f(x) = 8x - 1.
