Answer: Todd used 27 black tiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of black tiles that Todd used.

Todd uses 21 white tiles & some black tiles to make a mosaic. This means that the total number of white and black tiles that Todd used is 21 + x

Each tile has an area of 3 square centimeters. This means that the total area covered by the white tiles is

21 × 3 = 63 square centimeters

Also, the total area covered by the black tiles is

3 × x = 3x square centimeters

The mosaic has a total area of 144 square centimeters. This means that

3x + 63 = 144

3x = 144 - 63

3x = 81

x = 81/3 = 27

Find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form (-1,-1) and (1,0)

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

An equation in slope-intercept form of the line will be

$y\:=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Given the points

(-1, -1)

(1, 0)

Finding the slope between (-1,-1) and (1,0)

$\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-1,\:-1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(1,\:0\right)$

$m=\frac{0-\left(-1\right)}{1-\left(-1\right)}$

$m=\frac{1}{2}$

substituting m = 1/2 and (-1, -1) in the slope-intercept form of the line equation to determine the y-intercept

$y = mx+b$

$-1=\frac{1}{2}\left(-1\right)+b$

$-\frac{1}{2}+b=-1$

Add 1/2 to both sides

$-\frac{1}{2}+b+\frac{1}{2}=-1+\frac{1}{2}$

$b=-\frac{1}{2}$

substituting m = 1/2 and b = -1/2 in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

$y = mx+b$

$y\:=\frac{1}{2}x+\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)$

$y\:=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, an equation in slope-intercept form of the line will be

$y\:=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}$

Find the zeros of the function. Enter the solutions from least to greatest.

Harman [31]

Answer:

x = 5, x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Set f(x) = 0 and solve for x.

0 = (x -8)² -9

9 = (x -8)² . . . . . add 9

±√9 = x -8 . . . . . take the square root

±3 +8 = x . . . . . . . add 8

That is, ...

x = 8 -3 = 5 . . . . lesser x

x = 8 +3 = 11 . . . greater x

What is the maximum height of of Anna's golf ball? The equation is y=x−0.04x2.

elena-s [515]

Given:

The height of a golf ball is represented by the equation:

$y=x-0.04x^2$

To find:

The maximum height of of Anna's golf ball.

Solution:

We have,

$y=x-0.04x^2$

Differentiate with respect to x.

$y'=1-0.04(2x)$

$y'=1-0.08x$

For critical values, $y'=0$ .

$1-0.08x=0$

$-0.08x=-1$

$x=\dfrac{-1}{-0.08}$

$x=12.5$

Differentiate y' with respect to x.

$y''=(0)-0.08(1)$

$y''=-0.08$

Since double derivative is negative, the function is maximum at $x=12.5$ .

Substitute $x=12.5$ in the given equation to get the maximum height.

$y=(12.5)-0.04(12.5)^2$

$y=12.5-0.04(156.25)$

$y=12.5-6.25$

$y=6.25$

Therefore, the maximum height of of Anna's golf ball is 6.25 units.
