Melanie uses the ordered pairs (2010, 48) and (2013, 59) to find her equation. Tracy defines x as the number of years since 2010

and uses the ordered pairs (0, 48) and (3, 59) to find her equation. How will the two girls’ equations compare?

Answer:  The solpes of the two equations are same but y-intercepts are different.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Melanie uses the ordered pairs (2010, 48) and (2013, 59) to find her equation.

Tracy defines x as the number of years since 2010 and uses the ordered pairs (0, 48) and (3, 59) to find her equation.

We are to compare the equations of Melanie and Tracy.

Since both the girls used two points to find their equations, so the graph of the equations must be straight lines.

<u>Melanie's Equation:</u>  Since two points in Melanie's equation are (2010, 48) and (2013, 59), so the slope of the line will be

m_1=\dfrac{59-48}{2013-2010}=\dfrac{11}{3}\\\\\\\Rightarrow m_1=\dfrac{11}{3}.

Therefore, Melanie's equation is

y-48=m_1(x-2010)\\\\\Rightarrow y-48=\dfrac{11}{3}(x-2010)\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{11}{3}x-11\times 670+48\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{11}{3}x-7322.

<u>Tracy's Equation:</u>  Since two points in Tracy's equation are (0, 48) and (3, 59), so the slope of the line will be

m_2=\dfrac{59-48}{3-0}=\dfrac{11}{3}\\\\\\\Rightarrow m_2=\dfrac{11}{3}.

Therefore, Tracy's equation is

y-48=m_2(x-0)\\\\\Rightarrow y-48=\dfrac{11}{3}x\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{11}{3}x+48.

Thus, we can see that

m_1=m_2~~~\textup{and}~~~-7322\neq 48,

so, the slopes of two equations are same but y-intercepts are different.

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

x³+3x²+4x+12

Step-by-step explanation:

you are going to write both equations and distribute. if there are like terms, combine them and then put it order.

(x + 3) × (x² + 4)

x³ + 4x + 3x² + 12

when putting in order, you want the highest power to the left and then the lowest power to the right.

so

x³+3x²+4x+12

maria took 7 hours to read a 259-page book and juanita took 5 hours to read a 175-page book. who read more pages per hour? expla
Temka [501]

Answer: Maria reads more pages per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Maria - 37 pages per hour

259 = pages read

7 = hours

259/7

37

Juanita - 35 pages per hour

175 = pages read

5 = hours

175/5

35

a coin is tossed, then a letter in the word accomplishment is chosen at random. find the probability of heads, then a vowel
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

\frac{5}{52}

Step-by-step explanation:

Coin toss:

Total\ outcome=\{H,T\}\\\\Favourable\ outcome=\{H\}\\\\P(Head)=\frac{Favourable\ outcome}{Number\ of\ total\ outcome}\\\\P(Head)=\frac{1}{2}

Letter Selection:

Number\ of\ total\ outcomes=26\ \ \ \ \ \ \ as\ total\ letters\ are\ 26\\\\Favourable\ outcomes=5\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ as\ there\ are\ 5\ vowels\\\\P(vowel)=\frac{Favourable\ outcomes}{Number\ of\ total\ outcomes}\\\\P(vowel)=\frac{5}{26}

These\ two\ events\ are\ independent.\\\\Hence\ probability\ of\ head\ and\ then\ vowel=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{5}{26}=\frac{5}{52}

The larger of two numbers is 5 less that twice the smaller if their sum is 70, find the numbers
Vikentia [17]

Let the number be x and 2x-5 from the above given condition

x+2x-5=70

or

3x=75 s0 x=25

Hence, the number are 25 and 45
