Answer:

h(x) increases by 15 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

h(x)=\frac{-5x}{7}-3\\ \\

This is nothing but a straight line with slope equal = -5/7

Hence rate of change of y with respect to x =-5/7

Or for a unit increase in we have 5/7 decrease in h(x)

Using the above we find that when x decreases by 21

we have h(x) to increase by 21(5/7)

=15

So y increases by 15 units

Why do we use a coeficient to remove the propotionality
Salsk061 [2.6K]
Constant is the scale term in proportionality. Suppose one variable is dependent on the other and one variable become twice, other becomes also twice and if one becomes half, other too becomes half., but they are two different variables which are no-where linked (like cost(money) vs quantity). Quantity and cost are two different things but they abridge a mathematical relation of proportionality. So in the mathematics to abridge these two different variables, we need something. Constant serves that purpose.

HELP PLEASE! Write a quadratic function that passes through the point (-1,9), has an axis of symmetry of x=-3 and a minimum valu
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{2}x^{2} - 3x + 11.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex form of a quadratic equation;

y = a( x - h )^{2} + k

Vertex of the parabolas (h, k)

The vertex of the parabola is either the minimum or maximum of the parabola. The axis of symmetry goes through the x-coordinate of the vertex, hence h = -3. The minimum of the parabola is the y-coordinate of the vertex, so k= 7. Now substitute it into the formula;

y = a ( x + 3 ) ^{2} + 7

Now substitute in the given point; ( -1, 9) and solve for a;

9 = a( (-1 ) + 3)^2 + 7\\9 = a (2)^{2} + 7\\9 = 4a + 7\\-7           -7\\2 = 4a\\\frac{1}{2} = a\\

Hence the equation in vertex form is;

y = \frac{1}{2}(x - 3)^{2} + 7

In standard form it is;

y = \frac{1}{2}x^{2} - 3x + 11.5

Harlamova29_29 [7]
Make a drawing with a right triangle.

The opposite side, y, is the height of the dam less 1.65 m

The base or adjacent side is 90 m

The angle between the two sides is 90 m.

Then tan (26) = y / 90

y = 90 tan(26) = 90 (0.4877) = 43.90 m

The height of the dam is 43.90m + 1.65m = 45.55 m
