in a lecture hall at a collage, the number of seats per row increased at a constand rate. The professor counts 21 seats in row 3

and 33 seats in row 7. How many sets are there in row 18?

Answer:

66 seats

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of increase is ...

(change in seats)/(change in rows) = (33 -21)/(7 -3) = 12/4 = 3 . . . seats/row

Then row 18 will have (18-3)·3 = 45 more seats than row 3, hence ...

21 + 45 = 66 . . . . seats in row 18

_____

An explicit formula for the number of seats can be written as ...

s = 21 +3(n-3) = 12 +3n

For n=18, this is ...

s = 12 + 3(18) = 12 +54 = 66 . . . seats in row 18

Write the equation in slope-intercept form then change it to standard form with integer coefficients.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

1. Slope-intercept form: $y = 2x - 4$

Standard form: $2x - y = 4$

2. Slope-intercept form: $y = \dfrac12x - 1$

Standard form: $x - 2y = 2$

3. Slope-intercept form: $y = \dfrac45x + \dfrac{21}{5}$

Standard form: $4x -5y = - 21$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form: $y = mx + b$

where:

$y$ = y-coordinate
$m$ = slope
$x$ = x-coordinate
$b$ = y-intercept

Standard form: $Ax + By = C$

$\textsf{1. as} \ m=2: \ \ y = 2x + b$

$\textsf{at} \ (6, 8): \ \ 8 = 2(6) + b$

$\implies b = -4$

Slope-intercept form: $y = 2x - 4$

Standard form: $2x - y = 4$

$\textsf{2. as} \ \ m = \dfrac12: \ \ y = \dfrac12x + b$

$\textsf{at} \ (4, 1): \ \ 1 = \dfrac12(4) + b$

$\implies b = -1$

Slope-intercept form: $y = \dfrac12x - 1$

Standard form: $x - 2y = 2$

$\textsf{3. as} \ \ m = \dfrac45: \ \ y = \dfrac45x + b$

$\textsf{at} \ (1,5): \ \ 5 = \dfrac45(1) + b$

$\implies b = \dfrac{21}{5}$

Slope-intercept form: $y = \dfrac45x + \dfrac{21}{5}$

Standard form: $4x -5y = - 21$

What is a polynomial ?

ikadub [295]

aApolynomial is an expression consisting of variables and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents of variables.

There are 3 sets of polynomials; LINEAR, QUADRATIC and CUBIC

Linear: $ax + b = 0$

Quadratic: $ax^2+bx+c=0$

Cubic: $ax^3 + bx^2+cx+d = 0$
