Answer: choice D) 20

-------------------------------

Explanation:

Locate 3 on the x axis number line. Draw a vertical line through 3 and this vertical line will cross the parabola at some point P. Mark this point P on the parabola. Then draw a horizontal line from P to the y axis. The horizontal line will land on y = 10. In short, this all shows us that (3,10) is a point on this parabola.

Repeat those steps above, but now for x = 7. You'll see that (7,90) is another point on this parabola.

We need to find the slope of the line through the two points (3,10) and (7,90). The average rate of change from x = 3 to x = 7 is the same as the slope of the line through those two points.

To find the slope, we use the slope formula
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the two points, and m is the slope

In this case,
(x1,y1) = (3,10) and (x2,y2) = (7,90)
further breaking down to
x1=3
y1=10
x2=7
y2=90
So we'll plug those four pieces of info into the equation and simplifying to get...
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (90 - 10)/(7 - 3)
m = 80/4
m = 20

The slope of the line is 20, so therefore, the average rate of change is 20.

Divide 1.20m in the ratio 2:3:4 in a clear way
tatuchka [14]
2:3:4 gives 9 equal parts.
1.20 divided by 9 is 0.133.

2 * 0.133 would be 0.266m
3 * 0.133 would be 0.399m
4 * 0.133 would be 0.533m

To check this calculate 0.533 + 0.399 + 0.266 would be 1.198m (close enough)

The area of the top face of a cube is 16 square inches. Use 8 of these cubes to make a rectangular
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The volume of the rectangular prism is 512 inches³

Step-by-step explanation:

Any cube has 6 square faces

Area of any square = L × L, where L is a length of each side

The volume of the cube = L × L × L

∵ The area of the top face of a cube = 16 inches²

→ Find which number multiply by itself = 16

∵ 16 = L × L

∵ 16 = 4 × 4

∴ L = 4 inches

Let us find the volume of 1 cube

∵ The volume of the cube = L × L × L

∵ L = 4 inches

∴ The volume of each cube = 4 × 4 × 4

∴ The volume of each cube = 64 inches³

∵ We will use 8 of this cube to make a rectangular prism

→ That means the volume of the rectangular prism is 8 times

   the volume of 1 cube

∴ The volume of the prism = 8 × volume of 1 cube

∵ The volume of each cube = 64 inches³

∴ The volume of the prism = 8 × 64

∴ The volume of the prism = 512 inches³

The volume of the rectangular prism is 512 inches³

Y varies directly as X , and Y=1.2 when X=1.6.Solve for points.
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

I don' think that Y varies directly like X does because first they're different numbers. Y=1.2 and X=1.6.
