Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.

After 11 hours of burning, a candle has a height of 27.8 centimeters. After 26 hours of burning, its height is 24.8 centimeters. What is the height of the candle after 23 hours?

Answer:

Hey! The answer is 25,4 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a linear function you can use y=mx+n

So if x = hours and y= height.

You know that

\left \{ {{27,8=11m +n} \atop {24,8=26m +n}} \right.

So:

If you multiply (24,8=26m +n) x-1

It is: -24,8 = -26m -n

Adding up the other equation

-24,8 = -26m -n

<u>27,8 = 11m + n</u>

<u>3 = -15m</u>

<u>m= -0,2</u>

So

27,8 = 11 x 0,2 + n

27,8 = -2,2 + n

30 = n

This results that te linear function for this equation is:

y = -0,2x + 30

The answer is

y=23(-0,2) + 30

y=-4,6+30

y=25,4

Which sentence would be a good counter example to this statement ?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

The answer is "Option D".

Step-by-step explanation:

A line is a horizontal 1D-dimensional representation without any thickness and extends in every way. It sometimes is also known as the straight line. The line, which connects two planes lies simultaneously on both planes, that's why in this question only "option D" is correct.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.
vazorg [7]

Answer:

Step 1: Distribute -2 to 5x and 8

Step 2: Subtract from both sides of the equation 6x

Step 3: Add to both sides of the equation  16

Step 4: Divide both sides of the equation by -16

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Apply the Distributive Property. Then you must  distribute -2 to 5x and 8

Then:

-2(5x+8)=14+6x\\\\-10x-16=14+6x

Step 2: You must apply the Subtraction property of Equality and subtract 6x from both sides of the equation. Then:

-10x-16-6x=14+6x-6x\\\\-16x-16=14

 Step 3: You must apply the Addition property of Equality and add 16 to both sides of the equation. Then:

-16x-16+16=14+16\\\\-16x=30

Step 4: You must apply the Division property of Equality and divide both sides by -16. Then:

\frac{-16x}{-16}=\frac{30}{-16}\\\\x=\frac{30}{-16}\\\\x=-\frac{15}{8}
