Answer:

The brick will cover area of 28 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the brick = l = $3\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{2} inch$

Width of the brick = w = [te]8 inch[/tex]

Area covered by the brick = A

Area of rectangle = length × width

$A=\frac{7}{2}inch\times 8 inch=28 inch^2$

The brick will cover area of 28 square inches.

Find the average rate of change of f(x) = 4x² – 3 from 3 to 9.

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$f(x) = 4x^2 - 3$

Required:

Average range of change from 3 to 9

SOLUTION:

Step 1:

Find f(3) and f(9):

To find f(3), replace x with 3 in the given function

$f(3) = 4(3)^2 - 3$

$f(3) = 4(9) - 3$

$f(3) = 36 - 3$

$f(3) = 33$

To find f(9), replace x with 9 in the given function

$f(9) = 4(9)^2 - 3$

$f(9) = 4(81) - 3$

$f(9) = 324 - 3$

$f(9) = 321$

Average rate of change = $\frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$

Where,

$a = 3, f(a) = 33$

$b = 9, f(b) = 321$

Plug in the values into the formula for average rate of change.

$= \frac{321 - 33}{9 - 3}$

$= \frac{288}{6}$

$= 44$

Average rate of change = 44

How does the value of b affect the graph of the equation?

slamgirl [31]

Hey there!
B in a slope intercept form equation is the the y intercept. It dictates where the line will cross the y axis, and therefore the line's placement altogether. This is because if there was no y intercept, the line would only be shaped by the slope, and would start at 0.
Hope this helped!

1. Find the digit that makes 3,71_ divisible by 9.

KiRa [710]

QUESTION 1

We want to find the digit that should fill the blank space to make

$3,71-$

divisible by 9.

If a number is divisible by 9 then the sum of the digits should be a multiple of 9.

The sum of the given digits is,

$3 + 7 + 1 = 11$

Since

$11 + 7 = 18$

which is a multiple of 9.

This means that

$3,717$

is divisible by 9.

The correct answer is B

QUESTION 2

The factors of the number 30 are all the numbers that divides 30 exactly without a remainder.

These numbers are ;

$1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30$

The correct answer is A.

QUESTION 3.

We want to find the prime factorization of the number 168.

The prime numbers that are factors of 168 are

$2,3 \: and \: 7$

We can write 168 as the product of these three prime numbers to obtain,

$168={2}^{3}\times 3\times7$

We can also use the factor tree as shown in the attachment to write the prime factorization of 168 as

$168 ={2}^{3}\times 3\times7$

The correct answer is B.

QUESTION 4.

We want to find the greatest common factor of

$140\:\:and\:\:180$

We need to express each of these numbers as a product of prime factors.

The prime factorization of 140 is

$140={2}^{2}\times 5\times7.$

The prime factorization of 180 is

$180={2}^{2} \times{3}^{2}\times5.$

The greatest common factor is the product of the least degree of each common factor.

$GCF={2}^{2}\times5$

$GCF=20$

The correct answer is A.

QUESTION 5.

We want to find the greatest common factor of

$15,30\: and\:60.$

We need to first find the prime factorization of each number.

The prime factorization of 15 is

$15=3\times5.$

The prime factorization of 30 is

$30=2\times 3\times 5.$

The prime factorization of 60 is

$60={2}^{2}\times3 \times5$

The greatest common factor of these three numbers is the product of the factors with the least degree that is common to them.

$GCF=3 \times5$

$GCF=15$

The correct answer is C.

QUESTION 6

We want to determine which of the given fractions is equivalent to

$\frac{3}{8}.$

We must therefore simplify each option,

$A.\: \: \frac{15}{32}=\frac{15}{32}$

$B.\:\:\frac{12}{32}=\frac{4\times 3}{4\times8}=\frac{3}{8}$

$C.\:\:\:\:\frac{12}{24}=\frac{12\times1}{12\times 2}=\frac{1}{2}$

$D.\:\:\frac{9}{32}=\frac{9}{32}$

The simplification shows that

$\frac{12}{32}\equiv \frac{3}{8}$

The correct answer is B.

QUESTION 7.

We want to express

$\frac{10}{22}$

in the simplest form.

We just have to cancel out common factors as follows.

$\frac{10}{22}=\frac{2\times5}{2 \times11}$

This simplifies to,

$\frac{10}{22}=\frac{5}{11}$

The correct answer is C.

QUESTION 8.

We were given that Justin visited $25$ of the $50$ states.

The question requires that we express $25$ as a fraction of $50.$

This will give us

$\frac{25}{50}=\frac{25\times1}{25\times2}$

We must cancel out the common factors to have our fraction in the simplest form.

$\frac{25}{50}=\frac{1}{2}$

The correct answer is C.

QUESTION 9.

We want to write

$2\frac{5}{8}$

as an improper fraction.

We need to multiply the 2 by the denominator which is 8 and add the product to 5 and then express the result over 8.

This gives us,

$2 \frac{5}{8}=\frac{2\times8+5}{8}$

this implies that,

$2\frac{5}{8}=\frac{16+5}{8}$

$2\frac{5}{8}=\frac{21}{8}$

Sarah needed

$\frac{21}{8}\:\:yards$

The correct answer is D.

QUESTION 10

See attachment

QUESTION 11

We wan to write

$3\: and\:\:\frac{7}{8}$

as an improper fraction.

This implies that,

$3+\frac{7}{8}=3\frac{7}{8}$

To write this as a mixed number, we have,

$3\frac{7}{8}=\frac{3\times8+7}{8}$

This implies that,

$3\frac{7}{8}=\frac{24+7}{8}$

This gives

$3\frac{7}{8}=\frac{31}{8}$

The correct answer is B.

QUESTION 12

We want to find the LCM of $30$ and $46$ using prime factorization.

The prime factorization of 30 is $30=2\times 3\times 5$

The prime factorization of 46 is $40=2\times 23$ .

The LCM is the product of the common factors with the highest degrees. This gives us,

$LCM=2\times \times3 5\times 23$

$LCM=690$

The correct answer is D.

QUESTION 13

We want to find the least common multiple of 3,6 and 7.

The prime factorization of $3$ is $3$ .

The prime factorization of 6 is $6=2\times 3$ .

The prime factorization of 7 is $7$ .

The LCM is the product of the common factors with the highest degrees. This gives us,

$LCM=2\times3 \times7$

$LCM=42$ .

The LCM is 42, therefore 42 days will pass before all three bikes will at the park on the same day again.

The correct answer is B.
