Answer:

Personal items=15

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Total number of artifacts = 72.

We are told that 2/3 of total artifacts are shards of pottery.

\text{Shards of pottery}=72*\frac{2}{3} =24*2=48

We are also told that 1/8 of total artifacts are tools.

\text{Tools}=72*\frac{1}{8}=9

Now we will find out number of personal items by subtracting combined number of shards of pottery and tools from total number of artifacts.

\text{ Personal items}=72-(48+9)

\text{ Personal items}=72-57=15

Therefore, there are 15 personal items.

Which equation below does NOT represent a function of X A) x=y^2 B) y=x C) y = |x| D) y=x^2 E) y=1
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

A) x = y^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation is a function of x when x is the independent variable, that is:

y = f(x) (1)

Where y is the dependent variable.

According to this, x = y^{2} does not represent a function of x, since the independent variable is a function of y, that is, x = f(y). Therefore, the correct answer is A.

Find the distance between (6, -7), (3, -5) round your answer to the nearest tenth
saw5 [17]

Answer:

d ≈ 3.6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2    }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, - 7 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5 )

d = \sqrt{(3-6)^2+(-5-(-7))^2}

   = \sqrt{(-3)^2+(-5+7)^2}

   = \sqrt{9+2^2}

   = \sqrt{9+4}

    = \sqrt{13}

    ≈ 3.6 ( to the nearest tenth )
