Answer: y=-40x+300

Step-by-step explanation:

This car follows a line, hence its motion can be modeled by the Line equation.

In fact, we already have two points of the line, if we call x the time in hours and y the traveled distance in miles:

Point 1: (x_{1},y_{1})=(0,300)

Since we are told the car's initial position is 300 miles in the time 0 h

Point 2: (x_{2},y_{2})=(3,180)

Since we are told the car's final position is 180 miles after 3h

<u />

<u>Let's find the Slope m: </u>

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

m=-40  This is the slope of the line

Now, the equation of the line is:

y=mx+b

We already know the slope, now we have to find the intersection point with the y-axis (b) with any of the given points. Let's choose Point 1: (x_{1},y_{1})=(0,300)

300=-40(0)+b

Isolating b:

b=-300

Then, the equation of the line is:

y=-40 x+300

White and black shapes are used in a game Some of the shapes are circles All the other shapes are squares The ratio of white to
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

The fraction of all shapes which are square in shape is \frac{23}{32}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that , in a game , white and black shapes are used. Some of them are circle in shape and remains are square in shape.

The ratio of white to black shapes are 5:11.

Consider 5x= the number of shapes which are white in color.

11x= The number of shapes which are black in color.

There are (5x+11x)= 16x shapes in the game.

The  white circle and white square are in the ratio 3:7.

The number of white square is

=(\textrm{The number of white shape})\times (\frac{7}{3+7})

=(5x)\times (\frac{7}{10})

=\frac{7x}{2}

The black circles and black square are in the ratio 3:8

The number of black square is

=(\textrm{The number of black shape})\times (\frac{8}{3+8})

=(11x)\times (\frac{8}{11})

=8x

Therefore the total number of shape which are square is

=\frac{7x}{2}+8x

=\frac{7x+16x}{2}

=\frac{23x}{2}

The fraction of all shape are square is

=\frac{\textrm{shape in square}}{\textrm{Total number shape}}

=\frac{\frac{23x}{2}}{16x}

=\frac{23}{32}

Will an object with a density of. 97 g/ml float or sink in water explain
Ainat [17]
I would say the object will float because the density of water is 999.99kg/m which is slightly less than 1g but still more than the object.

If f(x) = 3^x + 10 and g(x) = 2x − 4, find (ƒ+g)(x)
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

3^x+12x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

(f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) = 3^x + 10x + 2x - 4 = 3^x + 12x - 4
