0.11 acres can be planted per pound of seed

Solution:

Given that it takes 63 pounds of seed to completely plant a 7 acre field

To find: acres can be planted per pound of seed

Let "x" be the acres which can be planted per pound of seed

Therefore, from given question,

63 pounds of seed = 7 acre field

1 pound of seed = "x" acre field

This forms a proportion and we can solve the sum by cross multiplying

Multiply the numerator of the left-hand fraction by the denominator of the right-hand fraction

Multiply the numerator of the right-hand fraction by the denominator of the left-hand fraction

Set the two products equal to each other

Solve for the variable

$63 \times x = 7 \times 1\\\\63x = 7\\\\x = \frac{7}{63} = 0.11$

Thus 0.11 acres can be planted per pound of seed

Can anyone help me out on this not too sure on this

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

y = 0.1x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Points on the x-axis (x1, x2) = (-3, 7)

Points on the y-axis (y1, y2) = (-7, -6)

First of all, we would find the slope;

Mathematically, slope is given by the formula;

$Slope = \frac{Change \; in \; y \; axis}{Change \; in \; x \; axis}$

$Slope, m = \frac {y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Slope = (-6 - (-7))/(7 - (-3))

Slope = (-6 + 7)/(7 + 3)

Slope = 1/10

Slope = 0.1

Next, we would write the equation using the formula;

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-7) = 0.1(x - (-3))

y + 7 = 0.1(x + 3)

y + 7 = 0.1x + 3

y = 0.1x + 3 - 7

y = 0.1x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

You must write formulas regarding the volume and surface area of the given solids.

$\bold{\#1\ Rectangular\ prism:}\\\\V=lwh\\SA=2lw+2lh+2wh=2(lw+lh+wh)\\\\\bold{\#2\ Cylinder:}\\\\V=\pi r^2h\\SA=2\pi r^2+2\pi rh=2\pir(r+h)\\\\\bold{\#3\ Sphere:}\\\\V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\SA=4\pi r^2$

$\bold{\#4\ Cone:}\\\\V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h\\\\\text{we need calculate the length of a slant length}\ l\\\text{use the Pythagorean theorem:}\\\\l^2=r^2+h^2\to l=\sqrt{r^2+h^2}\\\\SA=\pi r^2+\pi rl=\pi r^2+\pi r\sqrt{r^2+h^2}=\pi r(r+\sqrt{r^2+h^2})\\\\\bold{\#5\ Rectangular\ Pyramid:}\\\\V=\dfrac{1}{3}lwh\\\\$

$\\\text{we need to calculate the height of two different side walls}\ h_1\ \text{and}\ h_2\\\text{use the Pythagorean theorem:}\\\\h_1^2=\left(\dfrac{l}{2}\right)^2+h^2\to h_1=\sqrt{\left(\dfrac{l}{2}\right)^2+h^2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{l^2}{4}+h^2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{l^2}{4}+\dfrac{4h^2}{4}}\\\\h_1=\sqrt{\dfrac{l^2+4h^2}{4}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{l^2+4h^2}}{\sqrt4}=\dfrac{\sqrt{l^2+4h^2}}{2}$

$\\\\h_2^2=\left(\dfrac{w}{2}\right)^2+h^2\to h_2=\sqrt{\left(\dfrac{w}{2}\right)^2+h^2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{w^2}{4}+h^2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{w^2}{4}+\dfrac{4h^2}{4}}\\\\h_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{w^2+4h^2}{4}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{w^2+4h^2}}{\sqrt4}=\dfrac{\sqrt{w^2+4h^2}}{2}$
