Answer:
the third option - they are perpendicular to each other.
Step-by-step explanation:
for a perpendicular slope we need to exchange the x and y values (remember, a slope is the ratio of y/x) and flip the sign.
and that is exactly what happened here.
The tangents are equal length, so
.. 8x = x^2
We presume their length is not zero, so we can divide by x to get
.. 8 = 2x
.. 4 = x
Then the length of each tangent is 8*4 = 32 units.
This is a linear function, of the kind y = mx + b
where x is the number of visit, b is the weight when x = 0, and m is the predicted change of weight for every visit.
m = - 4 ounces / visit, which must be converted to pounds (the negative sign indicates that the change is a decrease)
1 lb = 16 ounces = 4 ounces = 0.25 lb
Then m = - 0.25 lb / visit.
Now, for x = 1, y = 126 => 126 = - 0.25(1) + b => b = 126 + 0.25 = 126.25
Then the function is y = 126.25 - 0.25x
Now round to the nearest tenth:
y = 126.3 - 0.3x
Answer: y = 126.3 - 0.3x
Answer: 1/5 or 0.2 in decimal form.
Explanation:
There are 60 seconds in a minute. We know the river flows 12 ft per 1 minute. So in order to find the rate per seconds, divide: 60/12. You get the answer: 1/5 or 0.2 in decimal form.
