This tells us two things. Our slope is 3 and our y intercept is -4.
This tells us that we need to start at (0,-4).
Plot that point.
Since our slope is 3 (3/1), move up 3 and right 1.

This you will end up at point (1,-1).
Connect these two points in a straight line, and you have graphed your line.
It will look like this

12x cause you need to multiply 3 with 4 if the x is next to the number like this 4x

A group of employees is stranded on top of a 120 feet building because a fire occurred. Your goal is to throw a rope from a 60 f

Paul [167]

Step-by-step explanation:

-16t² + 64t + 60 = 120

this is a quadratic equation, and its points of f(t) = 0 can be calculated. there are usual 2 such solutions for a quadratic equation.

so, we need to bring it to a form that ends in "= 0".

-16t² + 64t - 60 = 0

that is also the same as

-4t² + 16t - 15 = 0

the formula for the solutions of such a quadratic equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

a = -4

b = 16

c = -15

so,

t = (-16 ± sqrt(256 - 4×-4×-15))/(2×-4) =

= (-16 ± sqrt(256 - 240))/-8 =

= (-16 ± sqrt(16))/-8 = (-16 ± 4)/-8

t1 = (-16 + 4)/-8 = -12/-8 = 3/2

t2 = (-16 - 4)/-8 = -20/-8 = 5/2

so, it depends on what the unit of time t is. let's assume seconds.

therefore, the rope will reach the top of the building while going up after 3/2 = 1 1/2 = 1.5 seconds.

and then, as the shot rope makes a curve and comes back down again (that is why we have 2 solutions : the rope will reach the height of 120ft during its flight path twice : once while still going up, and once when coming back down again) it will be at the height of the top of the building after 5/2 = 2 1/2 = 2.5 seconds.

so, it depends if the people there can grab it at the first chance, and if the path of the rope would allow them to grab it also again on its way back down. this we don't know.

I therefore guess, that your teacher is aiming for the first solution.

Why do you think we have more protests in modern times than in earlier time periods?

Wittaler [7]

I think there are more protests in modern day times rather then in the earlier time periods, because people are now more aware of their rights, and how they influence the way their country is run. Also, nowadays most countries are democratic, meaning that everyone can express their opinions and people protest as a way of expressing their opinions about something.

What is the simplified form of 4x plus 2 over x plus 5 minus the fraction 3x plus 1 over x plus 5?

viva [34]

We have that

[(4x+2)/(x+5)]-[(3x+1)/(x+5)]
They have common denominators, so just add the numerators like normal fractions:
=[(4x+2)-(3x+1)]/(x+5)
=[(4x+2-3x-1)]/(x+5)
=[(x+1)]/(x+5)

the answer is
(x+1)/(x+5)
