Answer:

  • y = -3/16x + 43 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The equation of the line through the points (10, 54) and (42, 48)</u>

  • y = mx + b

<u>Slope</u>

  • m = (48 - 54)/(42 - 10) = - 6/32 = -3/16
  • y = -3/16x + b

<u>y-intercept</u>

  • 54 = -3/16*10 + b
  • b = 54 + 15/8 = 55 7/8

<u>So the line is</u>

  • y = -3/16x + 55 7/8

<u>The support beam has y-intercept 12 feet below</u>

  • b = 55 7/8 - 12 = 43 7/8

<u>Required equation</u>

  • y = -3/16x + 43 7/8

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for half life is

n = no  e ^ (-kt)

Where no is the initial amount of a substance , k is the constant of decay and t is the time

no = 9.8

1/2 of that amount is 4.9 so n = 4.9 and t = 100 years

4.9 = 9.8 e^ (-k 100)

Divide each side by 9.8

1/2 = e ^ -100k

Take the natural log of each side

ln(1/2) = ln(e^(-100k))

ln(1/2) = -100k

Divide each side by -100

-ln(.5)/100 = k

Our equation in years is

n = 9.8  e ^ (ln.5)/100 t)

Approximating ln(.5)/100 =-.006931472

n = 9.8 e^(-.006931472 t)  when t is in years

Now changing to days

100 years = 100*365 days/year

36500 days

Substituting this in for t

4.9 = 9.8 e^ (-k 36500)

Take the natural log of each side

ln(1/2) = ln(e^(-36500k))

ln(1/2) = -36500k

Divide each side by -100

-ln(.5)/36500 = k

Our equation in years is

n = 9.8  e ^ (ln.5)/36500 d)

Approximating ln(.5)/365=-.00001899

n = 9.8 e^(-.00001899 d)  when d is in days

<h3>Answer: 45 degrees</h3>

The purple arc is 315 degrees. The remaining bit (angle b) must add to 315 to get 360 degrees, which is a full rotation.

315+b = 360

b = 360-315

b = 45

if a bag contains 2 red marbles, 3 blue marbles, 5 yellow marbles and 2 green marbles, if a marble is randomly selected what is
vekshin1
All you need to do here is just find the ratio of red marbles to all of the marbles.
<u>                    2 red                       </u>
2 red + 3 blue + 5 yellow + 2 green

when you add everything up, you get 2/12, which is equal to 1/6.
