Answer:

(2b-3)²

Step-by-step explanation:

The square of a binomial is ...

(p - q)² = p² - 2pq + q²

The fact that the first and last terms are perfect squares suggests that you might want to look to see if the middle term matches this form. It does.

For p² = 4b², p=2b.

For q² = 9, q = 3.

Then 2pq = 2(2b)(3) = 12b.

So, the factoring is ...

4b² -12b +9 = (2b -3)²

This is an inverse or indirect variation problem that would be set up as y=k/x if you were using y and x. Since you are using h and t, it would look like this:
h=k/t, where k is the constant of variation. Fill in the formula with the h and the t they give you: 2=k/70. Multiply both sides by 70 to get a constant of variation value of 140.

Answer:

0.47x + 7.72

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to create a Linear model using the given two points on the graph. The two points are: (21, 17.5) and (43, 2.75)

The general equation of the line in slope intercept form is

y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Calculating the slope:

$slope=m=\frac{\textrm{Difference of y coordinates}}{\textrm{Difference of x coordinates}} \\\\ slope=m=\frac{27.75-17.5}{43-21}\\\\m=0.47$

Using the value of m in above equation we get:

y = 0.47x + c

Calculating the y-intercept:

Using any of the given points we can calculate the value of c. Using the point (21, 17.5) in the above equation, we get:

17.5 = 0.47(21) + c

c = 17.5 - 0.47(21)

c = 7.63

Therefore, the equation is:

y = 0.47x + 7.63

Hence option a is the correct answer. The slight change in the value of "c" is because of rounding the value of m to 2 decimal places.

So from the given options, the correct answers is:

y = 0.47x + 7.72
