Answer:

hx = 1.5cm . x + 11 cm

126 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following ordered pairs (x, hx).

  • (1, 12.5 cm)
  • (2, 14 cm)
  • (3, 15.5 cm)

We are looking for a linear equation of the form:

hx = a.x + b

where,

a is the slope

b is the y-intercept

To find the slope, we take any pair of ordered values and replace their values in the following expression.

a=\frac{\Delta hx }{\Delta x} =\frac{h2-h1}{2-1} =\frac{14cm-12.5cm}{2-1} =1.5cm

Now, the general form is:

hx = 1.5cm . x + b

We can take any ordered pair and replace it in this expression to find b. Let's use h1.

h1 = 1.5cm . x1 + b

12.5 cm = 1.5 cm . 1 + b

b = 11 cm

The final equation is:

hx = 1.5cm . x + 11 cm

If hx = 200 cm,

200 cm = 1.5cm . x + 11 cm

189 cm = 1.5cm . x

x = 126

Answer:

Approximately 59 stacked cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Height of a cup = 12.5 cm,

Two stacked cups = 14 cm,

Three stacked cups = 15.5 cm,

........, so on,....

Thus, there is an AP that represents the given situation,

12.5, 14, 15.5,....

First term is, a = 12.5,

Common difference, d = 1.5 cm,

Thus, the height of x cups is,

h(x) = a+(x-1)d = 12.5 + (x-1)1.5 = 1.5x + 11

According to the question,

h(x) = 200

⇒ 1.5x + 11 = 200

⇒ 1.5x = 189

⇒ x = 59.3333333333 ≈ 59,

Hence, approximately 59 stacked cups will need.

If your purchases of shoes increase from 9 pairs per year to 11 pairs per year when your income increases from $19,000 to $21,00
Leni [432]

Answer: commom resources good

Step-by-step explanation:

The question above signifies that I can't eliminate shoes from my list. To me, shoes are inexcludable. You can see that as my income increases, my purchases of shoes increase.

I chose common resources good because they are non-excludable (something difficult to eliminate), but can compete with other goods. This means that their availability to other people decreases when they are being used up.

Other types of goods besides common resources good are

- Private goods (products that are easily eliminated and rival)

-Club goods (excludable products but non rival)

-Public goods (unable to eliminate and non-rival)
