Answer:

Option (d) is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is:

rise over run
The rate of change of a line
Change in y over the change in x
The ratio of vertical change to the horizontal change.

It can be given by mathematically as follows :

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\text{and}\\\\m=\dfrac{dy}{dx}$

Hence, the option which is not a description of slope is (d) "the ratio of horizontal change compared to vertical change"

How do I Rewrite the function by completing the square x^2+8x-29

Flura [38]

Answer:

(x +4)^2 -45

Step-by-step explanation:

The square of a binomial has the form ...

(x +a)^2 = x^2 +2ax +a^2

That is, the constant term (a^2) is the square of half the coefficient of the linear term: (2a/2)^2 = a^2.

To "complete the square", you add 0 in the form of the desired constant added to its opposite. Here, we want the constant for the square to be (8/2)^2 = 16. So, we can add 0 = 16 -16 to the expression:

x^2 +8x +16 -29 -16

(x^2 +8x +16) -45 . . . . group the terms that make the square

(x +4)^2 -45 . . . . rewritten after completing the square

How do you convert binary numbers to decimal numbers

telo118 [61]

An easy method of converting decimal to binary number equivalents is to write down the decimal number and to continually divide-by-2 (two) to give a result and a remainder of either a “1” or a “0” until the final result equals zero.

Trenton and Maria record how much dry food their pets eat on average each day.• Trenton's pet: 4/5 cup of dry food• Maria's pet:

Phoenix [80]

6.3 many more cups of dry food will Maria's pet have eaten than Trenton's pet will have eaten over 2 seven-day weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

We have , Trenton and Maria record how much dry food their pets eat on average each day.• Trenton's pet: 4/5 cup of dry food• Maria's pet: 1.25 cups of dry food. Based on these averages . We need to find how many more cups of dry food will Maria's pet have eaten than Trenton's pet will have eaten over 2 seven-day weeks . We need to find how much they eat for 14 days as:

Trenton's pet: 4/5 cup of dry food•

With 4/5 per day , for 14 days :

⇒ $14(\frac{4}{5} )$
