mayflies can live at the bottom of lakes for 2 to 3 years before they become winged adults.Mayflies are between 4/10 inches and

1.6 inches long.If this mayfly is 4/10 of an inch long,how can you write 4/10 in simplest form.

To simplify any fraction, look for a common factor in the top number
and the bottom number.  If you find one, divide the top and bottom
both by their common factor.  Eventually, you reach the point where
their only common factor is ' 1 ' ... that's when it's in simplest form.

4  and  10  both have  2  as a factor. 

When you divide top and bottom both by  2,  you have  2/5 .
This is the simplest form of  4/10 .

None of this has anything to do with mayflies.  You can use the same
process to simplify fractions in ANY situation where fractions arise.

You have $30 dollars saved up. Every week you spend $6 at the arcade. Write an equation in slope intercept form that shows how m
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

y = -6x + 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The inicial value you have is $30, so this will be the value of y after 0 weeks, that is, x = 0

After one week, you spend $6, so you will have y = 30 - 6 = 24 when x = 1.

With these pair of values, we can find the linear equation:

y = ax + b

for x = 0, y = 30:

30 = a*0 + b

b = 30

for x = 1, y = 24:

24 = a*1 + 30

a = 24 - 30 = -6

So, our equation is:

y = -6x + 30

Given the function f(x) = 2(3)x, Section A is from x = 0 to x = 1 and Section B is from x = 2 to x = 3.
jeyben [28]

f(0) = 2(3)(0) = 0  ⇒  (0, 0)

f(1) = 2(3)(1) = 6  ⇒  (1, 6)

<u>rate of change from x = 0 to x = 1</u>

\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} = \frac{6 - 0}{1 - 0} = \frac{6}{1} = 6

******************************************

f(2) = 2(3)(2) = 12  ⇒  (2, 12)

f(3) = 2(3)(3) = 18  ⇒  (3, 18)

<u>rate of change from x = 2 to x = 3</u>

\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} = \frac{18 - 12}{3 - 2} = \frac{6}{1} = 6

*****************************************

Since it is the same line, they will have the same slope (aka rate of change).

-7r^2= -329 square root property​
Genrish500 [490]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  r = ±√47

Step-by-step explanation:

  -7r^2 = -329 . . . . given

  r^2 = 47 . . . . . divide both sides by -7 (multiplication property of equality)

  r = ±√47 . . . .  square root both sides (square root property of equality)
