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

What is the experamental probability that the coin lands on heads?
sammy [17]

Answer:

The experamental probability that the coin lands on head is 50 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Experiment:

A coin is Toss

Let the Sample Space be 'S' that is total number of outcomes for a coin has been tossed = { Head, Tail }

∴ n ( S ) =  2

Let A be the event of getting a Head on tossing a coin i.e  { Head }

∴ n( A ) = 1

Now,

\textrm{Probability} =\frac{\textrm{outcomes for the experiment}}{\textrm{total number of outcomes}}

Substituting the values we get

P(A) = \frac{n(A)}{n(S)} \\\\P(A) = \frac{1}{2} \\\\P(A) = 0.5\\\\P(A) = 50\%

The experamental probability that the coin lands on head is 50 %

What is the solution to the liner equation <br><br> -12+3b-1=-5-b
Natalija [7]

Answer:

b=2

Step-by-step explanation:

-12+3b-1=-5-b

Combine like terms

-13 +3b = -5-b

Add b to each side

-13+3b+b = -5-b+b

-13+4b = -5

Add 13 to each side

-13+13 +4b = -5+13

4b = 8

Divide by 4

4b/4 = 8/4

b = 2

Find the average rate of change.
alina1380 [7]

The average rate of change = 1.59 ≈ 2

The average rate of change can be calculated by

1) The first one = \frac{3 + 0}{2} = 1.5

2 ) the second can also be solved by ; 8 + 2/ 2 = 5

3 ) the third one will be 20 + 6 / 2 = 13

4) 8.5

5) 12.5

To calculate the average rate of change

we will first add all the distance

Adding all the distance we will get the sum = 3 + 8 + 20 + 10 + 10 = 51

The total time = 2 + 6 + 9 +15 = 32

Thus the average rate of change = 51 / 32 = 1.59

helpp. The Eiffel Tower in Paris, France is 1063 feet tall. If you took an elevator 3/4 the way up the tower, how far from the g
Vitek1552 [10]

If the Height of Eiffel Tower in Paris is 1063 feet tall and we took an elevator 3/4 up the tower then we would be 797.25 feet from the ground.

Given The height of the Eiffel Tower is 1063 feet tall. We have taken an elevator that is 3/4 up the tower.

Height is the measurement of someone  from head to foot or from base to top. It is the distance upward.

Height of The Eiffel tower is 1063 feet.

We have taken 3/4 up the elevator.

Then the height from ground to us can be calculated by multiplying 1063 by 3/4 which will be as under:

=1063*3/4

=729.25 feet

Hence if the height of the Eiffel Tower is 1063 feet then we would be 729.25 up from the ground if we have taken elevator 3/4 up the tower.
