Hey there! :)
Answer:
a) 32 sticks.
b) 5n + 2 sticks.
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve this by finding the pattern.
Pattern # 1 = 7 sticks.
Pattern #2 = 12 sticks
Pattern #3 = 17 sticks.
We can see an increase of 5 sticks within each. We can use this to write an equation:
f(n) = 7 + 5(n-1)
***Where n is the term number
You can simplify the equation to become:
f(n) = 7 + 5n - 5
f(n) = 5n + 2.
Use this equation to solve for pattern # 6:
f(6) = 7 + 5(n-1)
f(6) = 7 + 5(5)
f(6) = 7 + 25
f(6) = 32.
Answer:
y = 1/3x + 5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
An equation contains a slope and y-intercept, in the form y = mx + b. To find the slope or m, you need to plug the coordinates into the slope formula.
y2 - y1/ x2 - 1
3 - 0/ 4 - (-5)
= 3 / 9
= 1/3
Now that we know the slope, we need to plug the values of x and y to find the y-intercept.
y = 1/3x + b
3 = 1/3(4) + b
3 = 4/3 + b
5/3 = b
The equation is y = 1/3x + 5/3
Answer:
75 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
(x) + (x) + (x+20) = 185
3x + 20 = 185
3x = 165
x = 55
Large dog = 55 + 20 = 75
Answer:y = -3x + 10
Step-by-step explanation:
To find an equation of a line that passes through two points, we have to first find the slope between the two equation. We can do this by using the slope formula:
where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the two points that we are finding the slope between.
Lets make (x₁, y₁) equal to (0, 10) and (x₂, y₂) equal to (3, 1). Now we plug them into the slope formula:
So the slope between the two points is -3.
From here, I would normally take one of the points given to us and plug in the point and slope into the point-slope form of a line and then simplify until we get it in slope-intercept form. But if you look carefully, the y-intercept is given to us as the point (0, 10). So we now know that the y-intercept of the line is 10. We can now take the y-intercept and the slope and plug it into the slope-intercept form of a line to get out equation:
y = mx + b
plug in -3 for m (the slope) and 10 for b (the y-intercept)
y = -3x + 10
So now we have our equation.
I hope you find my answer and explanation helpful. Happy studying. :)
