Answer:

It represents a linear function because there is a constant rate of change.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, if the rate of change for y ( output value ) with respect to x ( input value ) remains constant for a function then it is called linear function.

Here, number of hours represents input value and minutes represents the output value,

Now, By the given table,

The function is passing through the points (1,60), (2,120), (3,180), (4,240) and (5,300),

Also,

\frac{120-60}{2-1}=\frac{180-120}{3-2}=\frac{240-180}{4-3}=\frac{300-240}{5-4}=60

⇒  The rate of change output value with respect to input value remains constant,

Hence, It represents a linear function because there is a constant rate of change.

The first one I think because a linear function is always going to have a constant rate of change in one direction going straight up

The radius of the cone is 3 in and y = 5 in. What is the volume of the cone in terms of π?
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

  12π in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The right triangle formed by the radius (r), height (x), and slant height (y) is a 3-4-5 right triangle, with the dimension 4 inches being the perpendicular height from the base to the apex. That is, the Pythagorean theorem tells us ...

  r² + x² = y²

  x = √(y² -r²) = √(25 -9) = 4 . . . inches

The formula for the volume of a cone is ...

  V = (1/3)πr²h . . . . . . . . h is the height, what you call x

Your cone has r = 3 in, h = 4 in. Filling in these numbers and simplifying, we get ...

  V = (1/3)π(3 in)²(4 in) = 12π in³

The volume of the cone is 12π cubic inches.

-1/6 + 2/3 ( 9 + - 3/4) + - 1/2
Liono4ka [1.6K]
First simplify the section in the parenthesis. 
-1/6 + 2/3(8 1/4) + -1/2 
Then multiply 2/3 by 8 1/4.
-1/6 + 5 1/2 + -1/2 
Add -1/2 to 5 1/2. 
-1/6 + 5 
Add 5 to -1/6. 
4 5/6 is the fully simplified answer. 
Hope this helps!
