Jonathan has been on a diet since January 2013. So far, he has been losing weight at a steady rate. Based on monthly weigh-ins,

his weight, w, can be modeled by the function w=-3m+205 where m is the number of months after January 2013
a) How much did Jonathan weigh at the start of the diet?

b) How much weight has Jonathan been losing each month?

c) How many month did it take Jonathan to lose 45 pounds?

$a)\ \ \ w(m)=-3m+205\\\\m=0\ \ \ - at\ the\ start\ of\ the\ diet\\ \\w(0)=-3\cdot0+205=205\\ \\Ans.\ weigh\ at\ the\ start\ of\ the\ diet\ is\ 205\ pounds\\ \\b)\ \ \ w(m+1)=-3(m+1)+2015=-3m-3+205=-3m+202\\ \\w(m+1)-w(m)=-3m+202-(-3m+205)=\\ \\=-3m+202+3m-205=-3\\ \\Ans.\ Jonathan\ has\ each\ month\ 3\ been\ losing \\ \\ w(m)=205-45=160\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ -3m+205=160\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \-3m=-45\\ \\m=15\\ \\Ans.\ 15\ month$

Two cylinders are similar. The radius of cylinder a is 5.6 in. The radius of cylinder b is 1.4 in. If the hwight of cylinder b i

sleet_krkn [62]

The answer is 16in.

Let the radius and height of cylinder A be Ra and Hb respectively and the radius and height of cylinder B be Rb and Hb respectively.

Using similar shapes:
Ra/Ha= Rb/Hb
5.6/Ha=1.4/4
Ha=(4×5.6)/1.4
Ha=22.4/1.4
Ha=16in

Answer:

$(A)\ a=-6;b=4\\\\ (B)\ a=6;b=-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

$y=mx+c$

Where "m" is the slope and "c" is the y-intercept.

By definition:

1. If the lines of the System of equations are parallel (whrn they have the same slope), the system has No solutions.

2. If the they are the same exact line, the System of equations has Infinite solutions.

(A) Let's solve for "y" from the first equation:

$3x-2y=-1\\\\-2y=-3x-1\\\\y=\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}$

You can notice that:

$m=\frac{3}{2}\\\\c=\frac{1}{2}$

In order make that the System has No solutions, the slopes must be the same, but the y-intercept must not. Then, the values of "a" and "b" can be:

$a=-6\\\\b=4$

Substituting those values into the second equation and solving for "y", you get:

$-6x+4y=-2\\\\4y=6x-2\\\\y=\frac{6}{4}x-{2}{4}\\\\y=\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}$

You can idenfity that:

$m=\frac{3}{2}\\\\c=-\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, they are parallel.

(B) In order make that the System has Infinite solutions, the slopes and the y-intercepts of both equations must be the same. Then, the values of "a" and "b" can be:

$a=6\\\\b=-4$
