Answer: Hello there!

We know that the number of blueberries picked varies directly as the number of hours worked.

Direct variation means that: b = kh

where b is the number of blueberries, k is a constant of proportionality and h is the number of hours worked.

we know that in 10 hours there are 30 pounds of blueberries collected, then we can replace these numbers in the equation and solve it for k. And you want that I don't include units in the answer, so I will not include them.

30 = k*10

k = 30/10 = 3

Then the constant of proportionality is 3, whit is the amount of punds of blueberrys collected in one hour.

Answer:

$f(x) = -2x^2 + 7x + 9$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c\\f(0) = 9 => c = 9;\\f(2) = 15 = 4a + 2b + 9 2a + b = 3\\f(3) = 9a + 3b + 9 = 12 3a + b = 1\\Subtract the second equation from the first:\\-a = 2 => a = -2; b = 7; c = 9\\f(x) = -2x^2 + 7x + 9$

Help me on number 44 plz

Delvig [45]

All you have to do is write a positive number. let's say 4, then write a positive exponent (that's the tiny number in the right corner of the regular number) and then just write a positive exponent less than 4.
So 4 squared

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer: $\dfrac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that probability for any event = $\dfrac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}$

Given : Charlotte has 6 cherry candies, 3 grape candies, and 3 lime candies.

I..e Total pieces of candies she has = 6+3+3= 12

Now , If Charlotte randomly pulls one piece of candy out of the bag, what is the probability that it will be cherry is given by :-

$\text{P(cherry)}=\dfrac{\text{Number of cherries}}{\text{Total candies}}\\\\=\dfrac{6}{12}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Hence, the probability that it will be cherry is $\dfrac{1}{2}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

X1 Y1 X2 Y2

(-15, 30) (7, -14)

Y2-Y1 = -14-30 = -44 = -2
