A farmer finds there is a linear relationship between the number of bean stalks, n, she plants and the yield, y, each plant prod

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a farmer finds there is a linear relationship between the number of bean stalks, n, she plants and the yield, y, each plant produces

When we consider this graph as a straight line, the two points lying on the line would be

(30, 30) and (34, 28) taking n as horizontal and y vertical

Using two point equation we find that

the equation of the line is

$\frac{y-y_1}{y_2-y_1} =\frac{x-x_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Substitute the points as x =n

$\frac{y-30}{28-30} =\frac{x-30}{34-30}\\y-30 = -0.5(x-30)\\y = -0.5x+45$

is the linear relationship between n and y

The speed of the boat going with a current is 20 mph. When the boat goes against the current, the speed is 16 mph. Find the spee

adoni [48]

Answer:

The speed of the boat in still water is 18 mph.

The speed of the current is 2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the boat in still water.

Let y represent the speed of the current.

When the boat goes against the current, the speed is 16 mph. Assuming it traveled against the current while going upstream, its total speed would be (x - y) mph. It means that

x - y = 16 (equation 1)

Going downstream, the boat averages 20 mph. Assuming it traveled with the current, its total speed would be (x + y) mph. It means that

x + y = 20 (equation 2)

Adding both equations, it becomes

2x = 36

x = 36/2

x = 18 mph

Substituting x = 18 into equation 1, it becomes

18 - y = 16

y = 18 - 16

y = 2 mph

Heather makes $6.50 per hour. Every three months, she is eligible for a 2% raise. How much will she make after 2 years if she ge

sammy [17]

Answer:

$7.62 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, Heather gets a raise every 3 months, in 2 years, she will get a raise 8 times (2years = 24 months, 24 divided by 3 is 8).

Now it becomes a compound growth problem. We can use the formula shown below to solve these type of problems.

$F=P(1+r)^t$

Where,

F is the future value (what we want to find)
P is the present rate ($6.5)
r is the rate of growth, in decimal (2% growth means 0.02)
t is the time frame, number of times compounding occurs (for our case we have figured it to be 8)

<u>Now plugging in all the info, we get the value of F:</u>

$F=P(1+r)^t\\F=6.5(1+0.02)^8\\F=6.5(1.02)^8\\F=7.62$

Thus, after 2 years, Heather's hourly rate will be $7.62
