Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
a. Using two points on the line (0, 2) and (4, 12), find the gradient:
Gradient = ∆y/∆x = (12 - 2) / (4 - 0) = 10/4 = 2.5
Gradient = 2.5
b. The gradient, 2.5, represents the unit rate. That is, the volume of the oil in the tank per second.
i.e. 2.5 litres per second
c. The value, L = 2 represents the y-intercept, which is the starting value or initial volume of oil in the tank at 0 secs.
Answer:
(5x + 40), (7x + 8), (10x)
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, I'm not completely sure, I'm taking a bullet here. But lemme know what you get
2(3x + 5) (x - 1)
This is done through factoring 2 out of the equation first...
2(3x^2 + 2x -5)
And then cross multiplying it
STEP 1:
convert meters to centimeters
100 cm= 1 meter
= 100 cm/m * 2.5 m
= 250 cm
STEP 2:
x= length of first shelf
2x+18= length of second shelf
x-12= length of third shelf
x+4= length of fourth shelf
since the whole board has to be used, add lengths of all shelves and set it equal to the whole length of the board (250 cm).
x + (2x+18) + (x-12) + (x+4)= 250 cm
combine like terms
5x + 10= 250
subtract both sides by 10
5x= 240
divide both sides by 5
x= 48
STEP 3:
find length of second shelf
= 2x + 18
= 2(48) + 18
= 114 cm
CHECK:
x + (2x+18) + (x-12) + (x+4)= 250
48 + (2(48)+18) + (48-12) + (48+4)= 250
48 + (96+18) + 36 + 52= 250
48 + 114 + 36 + 52= 250
250= 250
ANSWER: Shelf two is 114 cm.
Hope this helps! :)
