The micrometre (International spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures;[1] SI symbol: μm) or micrometer (American spelling), alsocommonly known as a micron, is an SI derived unit of length equaling 1×10−6 of ametre (SI standard prefix "micro-" = 10−6); that is, one millionth of a metre (or one thousandth of a millimetre, 0.001 mm, or about 0.000039 inch).[1] The symbol μm is sometimes rendered as um if the symbol μ cannot be used, or if the writer is not aware of the distinction.<span>[citation needed]</span>

The micrometre is a common unit of measurement for wavelengths of infrared radiation as well as sizes of biological cells and bacteria and is also commonly used in plastics manufacturing.[1] Micrometres are the standard for grading wool by the diameter of the fibres; wool finer than 25 μm can be used for garments, while coarser grades are used for outerwear, rugs, and carpets.[2] The width of a single human hair ranges from approximately 10 to 200 μm. The first and longest human chromosome is 10μm in length.

Which statement describes the effect on the parabola y = x2 - 1 when it is changed to y = x2 +6?
zlopas [31]

Initial:

y=x^2-1

Changed to:

y=x^2+6

As you can see the change is: from -1 to +6.

In a equation as follow:

y=x^2+k

The k is a transformation that moves up or down the graph of the function. If k is changed to a less value the graph moves down, If k is changed to a greather number the graph moves up.

In this case the graph moves up

To find the number of units the graph moves find the difference betwwen values of k:

6-(-1)=7

Then, the parabola y=x²-1 is moved 7 units up when it is changed to y=x²+6

Suppose y is directly proportional to x. If y= 24 when x=2, what is the value of x when y= 144?
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Because y=24 and x=2 you do the following:

144/24=6

Then, 6x2=12 because it is proportional

Or you could do 24/2=12 and 144/12=12
