Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = 2, y2 = 3, y1 = y, x2 = 6, x1 = 5

: 2 = (3 - y)/(6 - 5)

2 = (3 - y)/1

2 = 3 - y

Collecting like terms

y = 3 - 2

y = 1

the graph below shows how many gallons of gas are used by a boat when it travels. how many gallons of gas would the boat use to

Sindrei [870]

The boat uses 4 gallons to travel 6 miles. Traveling 4 times as far is expected to require 4 times the gas.

4 gallons = 6 miles
Multiply by 4.
16 gallons = 24 miles

⇒ 16 gallons

-(y + 2) + 8 = 3<br> I’m so confused on this, please send help

Hoochie [10]

Don't be worried friend :)

-(y + 2) + 8 = 3

=> -(y + 2) = -5

=> y + 2 = 5

=> y = 3

1 + 5sin^2x= 7sin^2x solve trig equation. Can you show me how to solve this trig equation?

pantera1 [17]

Answer: $x = \frac{\pi}{4}\pm k\frac{\pi}{2}\,\,\,\,\,\,k=\{0,1,2,...\}$

Step by step:

$1 + 5\sin^2x= 7\sin^2x\\\sin^2 x\rightarrow z\\1 + 5z = 7z\\2z = 1\\z = \frac{1}{2}\implies \sin^2 x = \frac{1}{2}\\|\sin x| = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\\\sin x = \pm\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\pm\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\\\implies x = \frac{\pi}{4}\pm k\frac{\pi}{2}\,\,\,\,\,\,k=\{0,1,2,...\}$
