C

"When the storm began", it means it has been snowed for 0 hours, so n=0.
f(0)=2.5, thus the depth of snow was 2.5 inches when the storm began.

f(n+1)=f(n)+0.8, so f(n+1)-f(n)=0.8
it means when the time increases by one hour, the depth of snow increases by 0.8 inches.

8) through: (-3, -2), perp. to y = x – 1 A) y=-5x – 1 B) y=-4x – 5 C) y=-x – 5 D) y=-5x – 4

Answer:

The equation through (-3, -2) and perpendicular to y = x – 1 is y = -x -5 and option c is correct.

Solution:

Given, line equation is y = x – 1 ⇒ x – y – 1 = 0. And a point is (-3, -2)

We have to find the line equation which is perpendicular to above given line and passing through the given point.

Now, let us find the slope of the given line equation.

$\text { Slope }=\frac{-x \text { coefficient }}{y \text { coefficient }}=\frac{-1}{-1}=1$

We know that, product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1.

So, 1 $\times$ slope of perpendicular line = -1

slope of perpendicular line = -1

Now let us write point slope form for our required line.

$\mathrm{y}-\mathrm{y}_{1}=\mathrm{m}\left(\mathrm{x}-\mathrm{x}_{1}\right)$

y – (-2) = -1(x – (-3))

y + 2 = -1(x + 3)

y + 2 = -x – 3

x + y + 2 + 3 = 0

x + y + 5 = 0

y = -x -5

Hence the equation through (-3, -2) and perpendicular to y = x – 1 is y = -x -5 and option c is correct.

Is 86, 75, 97, 58. 94, and 58, odd or even

This is even because they all can be divided if it was odd you would not be able to decide them
