Answer: it is -1

Step-by-step explanation: rate of change can be defined as Δy/Δx, or the change in y over the change in c (commonly referred to as rise over run). By looking at the numbers we can see that the relationship modeled is linear (has a constant rate of change), so we are able to use this formula to calculate its rate of change. Simply calculate the change between any two values of y and (the associated) values of x and divide them to obtain your solution. I’m not the best at explaining math in words so here is the solution represented symbolically:

Rate of change = Δy/Δx

Δy/Δx = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (1 - (-2))/(2 - 5) //the selected values for y2,y1,x2, and x1 are the last and first values for each, respectively.

What is the coefficient of x4y4 in the expansion of (x + y)8?

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use Pascal's Triangle, you will need 9 lines, since there are 9 terms in a binomial raised to the 8th power. Those 9 terms are:

1, 8, 28, 56, 70, 56, 28, 8, 1

The first expansion through the one we need are below (I hope you know how to use Pascal's Triangle!):

$1(x^8)(y^0)+8(x^7)(y^1)+28(x^6)(y^2)+56(x^5)(y^3)+70(x^4)(y^4)+...$

A box with a square base and open top must have a volume of 296352 c m 3 . We wish to find the dimensions of the box that minimi

mestny [16]

Answer:

Base Length of 84cm
Height of 42 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a box with a square base and an open top which must have a volume of 296352 cubic centimetre. We want to minimize the amount of material used.

Step 1:

Let the side length of the base =x

Let the height of the box =h

Since the box has a square base

Volume, $V=x^2h=296352$

$h=\dfrac{296352}{x^2}$

Surface Area of the box = Base Area + Area of 4 sides

$A(x,h)=x^2+4xh\\$Substitute h=\dfrac{296352}{x^2}\\A(x)=x^2+4x\left(\dfrac{296352}{x^2}\right)\\A(x)=\dfrac{x^3+1185408}{x}$

Step 2: Find the derivative of A(x)

$If\:A(x)=\dfrac{x^3+1185408}{x}\\A'(x)=\dfrac{2x^3-1185408}{x^2}$

Step 3: Set A'(x)=0 and solve for x

$A'(x)=\dfrac{2x^3-1185408}{x^2}=0\\2x^3-1185408=0\\2x^3=1185408\\$Divide both sides by 2\\x^3=592704\\$Take the cube root of both sides\\x=\sqrt[3]{592704}\\x=84$

Step 4: Verify that x=84 is a minimum value

We use the second derivative test

$A''(x)=\dfrac{2x^3+2370816}{x^3}\\$When x=84$\\A''(x)=6$

Since the second derivative is positive at x=84, then it is a minimum point.

Recall:

$h=\dfrac{296352}{x^2}=\dfrac{296352}{84^2}=42$

Therefore, the dimensions that minimizes the box surface area are:

Base Length of 84cm
Height of 42 cm.

Nick planted a cedar tree. It grew 10 cm in ½ of a year. What will the height of the tree be at the end of 6 years?

user100 [1]

Answer:

120 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 is 6 months and 6 years are 72 months.

Using the rule of three, 10 cm is to 6 months what x is for 72 months so

x = (72 * 10) / 6 = 120

1/4 times the sum of a number and −3.2 is 1.8. What is the number?

joja [24]

Answer:

10.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Sum of x and -3.2 : x + (-3.2) = x - 3.2

1/4 times the sum of a number and −3.2 = (1/4) * (x - 3.2)

$\dfrac{1}{4}* \left( x - 3.2 \right) = 1.8\\\\\Multiply \ the \ whole \ equation \ by \ 4 \\\\4*\dfrac{1}{4} *(x - 3.2) = 1.8*4\\\\\\x - 3.2 = 7.2\\\\Add \ 3.2 \ to \ both \ sides\\\\\\x = 7.2 + 3.2\\$

x = 10.4
