Answer:

It would take more than 16 weeks to drop below freezing.

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature is dropping from 96°F to 32°F at a rate of 4°F per week, where 32°F is the freezing point.

Hence, 32 = 96 - 4w { Where w week is required to reach 32°F }

⇒ 4w = 64  

⇒ w = 16

Therefore, it would take more than 16 weeks to drop below freezing. ( Answer )

Write an equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = 2/3 x + 8 and has a y-intercept of
Otrada [13]

Answer:

y = -3/2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you know it has a point at (0, 2) - the y intercept, put those values into the equation and solve. To be perpendicular it seems the reciprocal of the slope with the opposite sign, so 2/3 is the original slope, and -3/2 becomes the new slope.

y = 2/3x + 8 becomes

2 = -3/2(0) + b  We substitute in the x and y values, but we have to figure out what the last number will be.

2 = 0 + b

b = 2

So put the whole equation together

y = -3/2x + 2

A standard form of a parabola with points through (2, 0) (3, 2) (4, 6)
LenKa [72]

The standard form of a parabola with points through (2, 0) (3, 2) (4, 6)

is y = x² - 3x + 2 ⇒ 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a parabola is y = ax² + bx + c, where a, b , c are constant

To find a , b , c

  • You must have 3 points lie on the parabola
  • Substitute the coordinates of each point in the equation to make system of equations of a , b and c
  • Solve the system of equation to find them

∵ The standard form of a parabola is y = ax² + bx + c

∵ The parabola passes through points (2 , 0) , (3 , 2) , (4 , 6)

- Substitute the coordinates of each point in the equation

Point (2 , 0)

∵ x = 2 and y = 0

∴ 0 = a(2)² + b(2) + c

∴ 0 = 4a + 2b + c

- Switch the two sides

∴ 4a + 2b + c = 0 ⇒ (1)

Point (3 , 2)

∵ x = 3 and 2 = 0

∴ 2 = a(3)² + b(3) + c

∴ 2 = 9a + 3b + c

- Switch the two sides

∴ 9a + 3b + c = 2 ⇒ (2)

Point (4 , 6)

∵ x = 4 and y = 6

∴ 6 = a(4)² + b(4) + c

∴ 6 = 16a + 4b + c

- Switch the two sides

∴ 16a + 4b + c = 6 ⇒ (3)

Subtract equation (1) from equations (2) and (3)

∴ 5a + b = 2 ⇒ (4)

∴ 12a + 2b = 6 ⇒ (5)

- Multiply equation (4) by -2 to eliminate b

∴ -10a - 2b = -4 ⇒ (6)

- Add equations (5) and (6)

∴ 2a = 2

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ a = 1

Substitute the value of a in equation (4) to find b

∵ 5(1) + b = 2

∴ 5 + b = 2

- Subtract 5 from both sides

∴ b = -3

Substitute the value of a and b in equation (1) to find c

∵ 4(1) + 2(-3) + c = 0

∴ 4 - 6 + c = 0

- Add like terms

∴ -2 + c = 0

- Add 2 to both sides

∴ c = 2

Substitute the values of a , b , c in the standard form above

∵ y = ax² + bx + c

∵ a = 1 , b = -3 , c = 2

∴ y = (1)x² + (-3)x + (2)

∴ y = x² - 3x + 2

The standard form of a parabola with points through (2, 0) (3, 2)

(4, 6) is y = x² - 3x + 2

There is another solution you can substitute the x-coordinate of each point in each answer to find the corresponding value of y, if the value of y gives the same value of the y-coordinate of the point for the three points then this answer is the standard form of the parabola
