Steven investigates the amount of damage to the head gaskets on the trucks in his fleet and finds that the damage index depends

on the ambient temperature. He develops the equation y = -2/3x + 14 to model the relationship. If the temperature increases 1 degree, what happens to the damage index for the head gasket?
A) It decreases by 14 points.
B) It decreases by 21 points.
C) It decreases by 0.047 points.
D) It decreases by 2/3 of a point.

Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

Since temperature is the independent variable then each increase by one point results in a

2

3

increase in the damage index. Therefore, It decreases by

2

3

of a point.

Alex, Bob, and Claudia split 126 cm wire evenly among themselves. They then proceeded to cut their pieces of wire into smaller,
Westkost [7]
<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • Bob
  • 18 cm
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

If Alex cut his wire 18 times, he ended up with 19 equal pieces. He kept 7, so has 7/19 of his 1/3 of the wire.

Bob cut his wire 20 times, so ended up with 21 pieces, of which he kept 9. So he has 9/21 = 3/7 of his 1/3 of the wire.

Claudia kept 1/13 of her 1/3 of the wire, so has the smallest piece.

Bob kept (3/7)·(1/3)·126 cm = 18 cm.

Alex kept (7/19)·(1/3)·126 cm ≈ 15.47 cm.

Bob kept the longest part of the original wire.

A car braked with a constant deceleration of 16ft/s2, producing skid marks measuring 200 feet before coming to a stop. How fast
Llana [10]

Answer:the car was traveling at a speed of 80 ft/s when the brakes were first applied.

Step-by-step explanation:

The car braked with a constant deceleration of 16ft/s^2. This is a negative acceleration. Therefore,

a = - 16ft/s^2

While decelerating, the car produced skid marks measuring 200 feet before coming to a stop.

This means that it travelled a distance,

s = 200 feet

We want to determine how fast the car was traveling (in ft/s) when the brakes were first applied. This is the car's initial velocity, u.

Since the car came to a stop, its final velocity, v = 0

Applying Newton's equation of motion,

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

0 = u^2 - 2 × 16 × 200

u^2 = 6400

u = √6400

u = 80 ft/s

Y = 15x + 10, where y is the total cost of renting 1 bicycle on the boardwalk for x hours. Determine whether the function is pro
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

The function is non-proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the function was proportional, when the number of hours spent riding the bicycle is equal to 0, the total cost of renting the bicycle would also be 0. In other words, the function would be proportional if y=0 when x=0. However, this is not the case.

y=15x+10

Plug 0 into the equation as x

y=15(0)+10\\y=10

When 1 bicycle has been rented for 0 hours, the customer still has to pay 10 dollars just for renting it. When x=0, y=10. This means that the function is non-proportional.

I hope this helps!
