Answer:

When b = 28 and c = 4, then a = 56

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write the equation first

This is an example of a combined variation

if a varies directly as b and inversely as c;

then a = bk/c

where k is the constant of proportionality

We find k first;

16 = (12 * k)/6

k = (6 * 16)/12 = 8

We now want to find a

a = kb/c

a = (8 * 28)/4 = 7 * 8 = 56

Y2-y1 and y=me+b<br> Plzz help me with this
mestny [16]
Well if you have the coordinates (2,2) and (4,4) you plug in the y from the second cords for y2

So it would be 4-2/4-2 and 2/2 equals 1
1 would be the m in y=MX+b
Then plug one set of coords in y=MX+b
2=1x+b

I know it's confusing to understand but I tried lol

Sierra has 3 feet of ribbon to make bows for friends.She uses 1/5 of a foot of ribbon for each bow. She think she can make more
lubasha [3.4K]

Agree with the girl making the bows because to make three bows all you need is 3/5 feet of ribbon, which isn’t even a full foot

Find the measure of ∠COB in the figure. answers: A) 24° B) 48° C) 72° D) 132°
jasenka [17]

Answer: 48

Step-by-step explanation: COB and DOA are vertical angles. This means the two of them have the same measure. Because we know the measuremen of DOA, we can easily find the measuremen for COB since these angles are the same, so COB is 48 degrees.

A rock is launched from a cannon. After 1 second, the rock is 58 feet in the air; after 2 seconds, it is 112 feet in the air. Us
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: This is the quadratic function:

h(x)=ax²+bx+c

We have two points:

(1,58)

(2,112)

Now, we calculate this quadratic funtion.

we assume that h(0)=0

Therefore:

a(0)²+b(0)+c=0

c=0

(1,58)

a(1)²+b(1)=58

a+b=58  (1)

(2,112)

a(2)²+b(2)=112

4a+2b=112

2a+b=56  (1)

With the equations (1) and (2) we make a system of equations:

a+b=58

2a+b=56

we can solve this system of equations by reduction method.

-(a+b=58)

2a+b=56

---------------------

a=-2

-2(a+b=58)

2a+b=56

-------------------

      -b=-60  ⇒  b=60

The function is:

h(x)=ax²+bx+c

h(x)=-2x²+60x

Now find the height, in feet, of the rock after 10 seconds in the air.

h(10)=-2(10)²+60(10)

h(10)=-200+600=400

Answer: 400 ft.

The figure is made up of a square and a rectangle. Find the area of the shaded region.
inn [45]

Answer:

10 \:  { \: m}^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

area of the shaded region = Area of triangle formed in rectangle with base (10 - 6 = 4) 4m and height 2 m + Area of triangle formed in square with base 2 m and height 6 m

=  \frac{1}{2}  \times 4 \times 2 +\frac{1}{2}  \times 2\times 6 \\  \\  = 4+6  \\  \\  = 10 \:  { \: m}^{2}
