Answer:

  x = 56.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of the rectangle are in the ratio 3:4, so those together with the diagonal of the rectangle make a 3-4-5 right triangle. The sum of these adjacent-side ratio units is 3+4 = 7, so the perimeter in ratio units is 2×7 = 14. The actual perimeter is 42 inches, so each ratio unit must stand for ...

  (42 in)/(14 units) = 3 in/unit

The diagonal of the rectangle is the diameter of the circle. Its length is 5 units, or ...

  (5 units)×(3 in/unit) = 15 inches.

Then the radius is half the diameter, or 7.5 inches.

The area of a circle is given by ...

  A = πr² = π(7.5 in)² = 56.25π in²

The value of x is 56.25.

Answer:

As functions of a true variable, exponential functions are uniquely characterized by the very fact that the expansion rate of such a function (that is, its derivative) is directly proportional to the value of the function.

Find the equation of the line that passes through the points (-5,7) and (2,3)
Olegator [25]

Answer:

y=-\frac{4}{7}x+4\frac{1}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

So, in order to solve this problem, I started off by drawing it out. On my graph that I have attached below, I first started out by locating the points (-5,7) and (2,3). Now, this is an optional step, but I highly encourage practicing your graphing skills by solving this problem on graph paper as well. Next, I connected the two points that I just graphed. This is the line that passes through (-5,7) and (2,3).

Now, here is where the actual solving starts. If you haven't already been taught this yet, I will introduce it to you now. I am going to find the equation of this line by filling in what I know in the equation y=mx+b, where m= the slope of the line, and b= y intercept.

Slope of the line: m= \frac{y_{1} - y_{2}  }{x_{1} - x_{2}  } = \frac{7-3}{-5-2} = \frac{4}{-7}= -\frac{4}{7}

If you haven't been taught how to find the slope of a line I recommend you find out.

Substitute the slope into the equation.

y=-\frac{4}{7} x+b\\

Now, we will solve for the 'b,' or y intercept.

We already have x and y values to use: (-5,7) or (2,3). I'll use x=2 and y=3 to solve for the y intercept.

y=-\frac{4}{7} x+b\\\\3=-\frac{4}{7} *2+b\\\\3=-\frac{8}{7} +b\\b=3+\frac{8}{7} \\b=\frac{21}{7}+\frac{8}{7}=\frac{29}{7} =4\frac{1}{7} \\b=4\frac{1}{7}

Last step: substitute the slope and y intercept into y=mx+b.

y=mx+b\\y=-\frac{4}{7}x+4\frac{1}{7}

That is the answer to this problem.

I hope this helps.

How would I figure out a linear equation with two plot points with fractions? (1/3(6),3) and (1/2(19),-2) are my two plot points
murzikaleks [220]

Answer: m=\frac{-30}{79},\ y=5.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Points are \left(6\frac{1}{3},3\right),\ \left(19\frac{1}{2},-2\right)

Convert mixed numeral to fraction

\left(6\frac{1}{3},3\right)\Rightarrow \left(\dfrac{19}{3},3\right)\\\\\left(19\frac{1}{2},-2\right)\Rightarrow \left(\dfrac{39}{2},-2\right)

Slope of the line is

\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{3-(-2)}{\dfrac{19}{3}-\dfrac{39}{2}}\\\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{5}{\dfrac{38-117}{6}}\\\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{-30}{79}

Equation of line

\Rightarrow \dfrac{y-3}{x-\dfrac{19}{3}}=\dfrac{-30}{79}\\\\\text{for y-intercept, put x=0}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{y-3}{0-\dfrac{19}{3}}=\dfrac{-30}{79}\\\\\Rightarrow y-3=\dfrac{190}{79}\\\\\Rightarrow y=3+2.40\\\Rightarrow y=5.40

PLEASE HELP PLEASE WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST !!!!! Freya is training for a track race. She starts by sprinting 200 yards. She gradual
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

A. a_n=200+(n-1)5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The initial sprinting of Freya = 200 yards,

Also,  She gradually increases her distance by 5 yards per day,

So, in second day her sprinting = 200 + 5 = 205 yards,

In third day = 205 + 5 = 210 yards,

In fourth day = 210 + 5 = 215 yards,

....................,  so on,.....

Hence, the sequence that shows the given situation,

200, 205, 210, 215, .........

Which is an A.P.

That having first term, a = 200,

Common difference, d = 5,

Thus, the explicit formula for the given situation is,

a_n=a+(n-1)d

\implies a_n=200+(n-1)5

Option A is correct.
