Answer:

g(7) = -34/13

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find g(7), we first need to find the g(x) function. To do so, use the two ordered pairs given, (-3, 2) and (10, -4). First we find the slope.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (2 - -4)/(-3 - 10)

m = 6/-13

Now that we have the slope, we can use that and either ordered pair in point-slope form to get the equation of the function.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = 6/13(x + 3)

y - 2 = -6/13x - 18/13

y = -6/13x + 8/13

g(x) = 6/13x + 8/13

Now that we have this, we can plug in 7 for x and find g(7).

g(x) = -6/13x + 8/13

g(7) = -6/13(7) + 8/13

g(7) = -42/13 + 8/13

g(7) = -34/13

Helium is used for balloons because it is less dense than air. This is what allows helium balloons to rise. Suppose a helium- ai

Kay [80]

Answer: Option A

About 0.02 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that density is defined as:

$d = \frac{m}{v}$

Where

d is the density

m is the mass

v is the volume

We want to calculate the helium-air mass of a spherical balloon and we know its density and the diameter of the balloon.

Then we can calculate its mass.

1) We use the diameter of the spherical globe to calculate its volume.

The volume of a sphere is:

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r ^ 3$

and

$radius = \frac{diameter}{2}$

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi(\frac{d}{2}) ^ 3\\\\V = \frac{4}{3}\pi(\frac{1}{2}) ^ 3$

$V= 0.5236\ ft^3$

2) Use the density formula to find the mass

$d = \frac{m}{v}$

$m = vd$

$m = (0.5236\ ft^3)*(0.04\ \frac{pound}{ft^3})\\\\m = 0.02\ pounds$

<em>The answer is 0.02 pounds</em>

What is the measure of z? 3 27 y x z

Sholpan [36]

Answer: $3\sqrt{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

By the geometric mean theorem,

$\frac{y}{3}=\frac{27}{y}\\y^{2}=81\\y=9$

So, by the Pythagorean theorem,

$3^{2}+9^{2}=z^{2}\\90=z^{2}\\z=\boxed{3\sqrt{10}}$
