Write the equation of the line given an x -intercept of 10 and y -intercept of 5.

Mathematics

Sergeu [11.5K]3 years ago

Answer:

y = (-1/2)x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move from the y-intercept (0, 5) to the x-intercept (10,0), x increases by 10 units while y decreases by 5 units.  Thus, the slope of this line is

m = rise / run = -5 / 10 = -1/2.

Since we know both the slope and the y-intercept of this line, let's use the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line:  y = mx + b.

Substituting -1/2 for m and 5 for b, we get:

y = (-1/2)x + 5

A sequence can be generated by using an=4a(n-1)
WITCHER [35]
This problem is half understanding the question and half just plugging in numbers.

Understanding the Question:
So its saying that n = whole number bigger than one, making n = 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.

Now try plugging any number n into the a_n = 4a_{n-1} equation. Let's use 2 to make it simple. If you plug in 2, you get:
a_2 = 4a_{2-1}\\&#10;a_2 = 4a_1
Remember that the subscripts (the small numbers in the corner) are simply the term number. a_1 is term 1, a_2 is term 2, etc. The equation is saying that "term 2 = 4 times term 1."

If you keep plugging in random numbers for n, you'll see that the equation basically says, "a term = 4 times the term right before it." That makes it easy to plug and chug to get our answer.

Plugging and Chugging
Now we understand the question is asking for the first 4 terms, and each term is 4 times the last term. You're told that term 1, a_1 = 6. That makes the next four terms:

Term 2
a_2 = 4a_{2-1}\\&#10; a_2 = 4a_1\\&#10; a_2 = 4(6)\\&#10; a_2 = 24

Term 3
a_3 = 4a_{3-1}\\ a_3 = 4a_2\\ a_3 = 4(24)\\ a_3 = 96

Term 4
a_4 = 4a_{4-1}\\ a_4 = 4a_3\\ a_4 = 4(96)\\ a_4 = 384

Your first 4 terms are 4, 24, 96, and 384.

The two triangles are similar, What is the length of DE?
horsena [70]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

This is easy. All you need to do is set up a <u><em>proportional relationship</em></u>.

A proportional relationship uses variables to show similarities, in this case, in triangles.

\frac{2}{3} = \frac{x}{6.3}\\\\3x = 12.6\\\\x = 4.2

<u><em>x</em></u> represents the missing side.

A right regular pentagonal prism has a base edge length 14 cm, and height 12 cm. Identify the volume of the prism to the nearest
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

4046.56 cm3

Step-by-step explanation:

The base is made by 5 isosceles triangles, with one side of 14 cm, and the opposite angle of \frac{360} 5 = 72°. Each of the other angle is \frac{180-72} {2} =54°. From there, you can calculate the height of each base triangle as in \frac {h} 7 = tan54 or 9.634...cm.

Your volume will be 5 * \frac  {(14 * 9.634)} 2 * 12 = 4046.56 cm^3
