<h2>Answer:</h2>

A positive relation between two things means that they are proportional to each other. One affects the other thing.

1) Smoking and cases of lung cancer. This is positive. As smoking affects lungs and can cause lung cancer. So, with increased smoking comes the increased risk of lung cancer thus increasing cases of lung cancer.

2) Amount of time spent at school each day and number of text sent per day - These two events are independent of each other. They are not based on each other. Hence, no relationship here.

A negative relation implies that if one thing increases, the other decreases.

3) The number of licks taken and the size of the Tootsie Pop. This is negative. As the number of licks increases, the size of the pop decreases.

Alice plants carrots in a rectangular garden bed. The garden bed has a width of 1.5 meters

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

1. L= A/W

2. 4m

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define this problem as a word problem relating to mensuration of flat shapes, a

rectangle

1. Let the length be L and the width be W

Given

Area A= 6m²

W= 1.5m

We know that the area of a rectangular shape is

Area = L x W

The expression for the length is

L= A/W

2. The solution for the length is

6=1.5L

L= 6/1.5= 4m

To conserve water, many communities have developed water restrictions. The water utility charges a fee of $38, plus an additiona

earnstyle [38]

Using a linear function, the correct option regarding the situation is given by:

C) 57 ≤ 1.28x + 38 ≤ 87; To stay within the range, the usage should be between 14.8 and 38.3 HCF.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.

b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

The bill is modeled by a linear function, with an <u>intercept of $38 and a slope of $1.28</u>, hence it is given by:

C(x) = 1.28x + 38

The bill should be between $57 and $87 dollars per month, hence:

57 <= C(x) <= 87.

The values of x are:

C(x) >= 57

1.28x + 38 >= 57

x >= 19/1.28

x >= 14.8.

C(x) >= 87

1.28x + 38 >= 87

x >= 49/1.28

x >= 38.3.

Hence option C is correct.

Given the acceleration, initial velocity, and initial position of a body moving along a coordinate line at time t, find the body

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The position at time t is $s(t) = 8t^2 - 14t -8$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The acceleration is $a = 16$

The velocity at t = 0 is $v(0) = -14$

The position at time t = 0 is $s(0) = -8$

Generally acceleration is mathematically represented as

$a(t) = \frac{d v}{dt }$

=> $\frac{dv}{dt} = 16$

=> $dv = 16 dt$

integrating both sides we have

$\int\limits dv = \int\limits16 dt$

=> $v(t) = 16 t + c$

Now at t = 0

$v(0) = 16 * 0 +c = -14$

=> $c = -14$

$v(t) = 16 t -14$

Generally the position of the body is mathematically represented as

$s(t) = \int\limits v(t)dt$

$s(t) = \int\limits 16t - 14 dt$

$s(t) = 16 \frac{t^2}{2} - 14t + C$

Now at t = 0

$s(0) = 16 \frac{0^2}{2} - 14(0) + C = -8$

=> $C = -8$

$s(t) = 8t^2 - 14t -8$

Describe whether the rates are equivalent.

GaryK [48]

To get whether they are equal you have to cross multiply the numbers 18x16 and 48x3

48x3= 144

16x18= 288

144 is not equal to 288.

Therefore the rates aren’t equivalent.
