the total mass in kilograms y of the cinder block and brick is $y=0.45x + 0.6$ .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , A kilogram is equal to approximately 2.2 pounds. A cinder block weighs x pounds. A brick has a mass of 0.6 kilogram. We need to find What is the total mass in kilograms y of the cinder block and brick . Let's find out :

According to given data in question ,

⇒ $1kg = 2.2pounds$

⇒ $1(pounds) = \frac{1}{2.2}kg$

A cinder block weighs x pounds and a brick has a mass of 0.6 kilogram . Let total mass in kg of the cinder block and brick is y , i.e.

⇒ $y (kg)= x (pounds) + 0.6 kg$

⇒ $y (kg)= x (\frac{1}{2.2}kg) + 0.6 kg$

⇒ $y=0.45x + 0.6$

Therefore , the total mass in kilograms y of the cinder block and brick is $y=0.45x + 0.6$ .

Use the Distributive Property to expand 9(3 + x).

tankabanditka [31]

Distribute the 9 to each term in the parentheses with multiplication.

9(3 + x) = 27 + x

But this is usually written as x + 27

Find the equation of the tangent line to the curve (a lemniscate)

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

$m=\frac{9}{13}$ and $b=\frac{40}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of curve is

$2(x^2+y^2)^2=25(x^2-y^2)$

We need to find the equation of the tangent line to the curve at the point (-3, 1).

Differentiate with respect to x.

$2[2(x^2+y^2)\frac{d}{dx}(x^2+y^2)]=25(2x-2y\frac{dy}{dx})$

$4(x^2+y^2)(2x+2y\frac{dy}{dx})=25(2x-2y\frac{dy}{dx})$

The point of tangency is (-3,1). It means the slope of tangent is $\frac{dy}{dx}_{(-3,1)}$ .

Substitute x=-3 and y=1 in the above equation.

$4((-3)^2+(1)^2)(2(-3)+2(1)\frac{dy}{dx})=25(2(-3)-2(1)\frac{dy}{dx})$

$40(-6+2\frac{dy}{dx})=25(-6-2\frac{dy}{dx})$

$-240+80\frac{dy}{dx})=-150-50\frac{dy}{dx}$

$80\frac{dy}{dx}+50\frac{dy}{dx}=-150+240$

$130\frac{dy}{dx}=90$

Divide both sides by 130.

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{9}{13}$

If a line passes through a points $(x_1,y_1)$ with slope m, then the point slope form of the line is

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

The slope of tangent line is $\frac{9}{13}$ and it passes through the point (-3,1). So, the equation of tangent is

$y-1=\frac{9}{13}(x-(-3))$

$y-1=\frac{9}{13}(x)+\frac{27}{13}$

Add 1 on both sides.

$y=\frac{9}{13}(x)+\frac{27}{13}+1$

$y=\frac{9}{13}(x)+\frac{40}{13}$

Therefore, $m=\frac{9}{13}$ and $b=\frac{40}{13}$ .

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

To start off this problem, we are given that the line AB is equal to the line CD. In addition to that, we are given that the line EF equally intersects line AB and line CD. This provides us proof that angle AGH is equivalent to angle DHG. From this information, we can solve this problem relatively easily.

Lets work with this equation:

$80 = 5x$

Next, divide 80 by 5.

$\frac{80}{5} =x$

$16 = x$

This means that x is equal to 16.
