A student collects data on the amount of water w, in ounces, and the amount of soda s, in ounces, that a random sample of people

drink each day. She finds that there is a negative linear relationship between the variables that is best modeled by the equation w=−1.4s+16.8 . for each additional ounce of soda that people drink each day, the model predicts, a decrease or increase? which is which of the follwoing 1.4, 15.4 or 16.8 in the number of ounces of water they drink each day

Write an inequality for x that would give this rectangle a perimeter of at least 300ft
Travka [436]

Answer:

The inequality for x is:

x\geq 142

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Width of rectangle = 3 ft

Height or length of rectangle = (x+5) ft

Perimeter is at least 300 ft

To write an inequality for x.

Solution:

Perimeter of a rectangle is given as:

⇒ 2l+2w

where l represents length of the rectangle and w represents the width of the rectangle.

Plugging in the given values in the formula, the perimeter can be given as:

⇒ 2(x+5)+2(3)

Using distribution:

⇒ 2x+10+6

Simplifying.

⇒ 2x+16

The perimeter is at lest 300 ft. So, the inequality can be given as:

⇒ 2x+16\geq 300

Solving for x

Subtracting both sides by 16.

⇒ 2x+16-16\geq 300-16

⇒ 2x\geq284

Dividing both sides by 2.

⇒ \frac{2x}{2}\geq \frac{284}{2}

⇒ x\geq 142   (Answer)

Which number line shows the solution to the inequality -2(3x-1)<8
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

x  > -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

-2(3x - 1) < 8

Required

Show on a number line

-2(3x - 1) < 8

Divide through by -2

\frac{-2(3x - 1)}{-2} < \frac{8}{-2}

3x - 1 > -4

Add 1 to both sides

3x -1 + 1 > -4 + 1

3x > -3

Divide through by 3

x  > -1

Find the value of the variable if P is between J &amp; K. A) JP = 8z - 17 B) PK = 5z + 37 C) JK = 17z - 4
Daniel [21]
<span>We cannot deduce about the exact location of P between J and K. But we can conclude: segment JP + segment PK = line JK.
</span><span>JP + PK = JK.
</span><span>Substitute first each.
(8z - 17) + (5z + 37) = 17z - 4
Combine like terms.
13z + 20 = 17z - 4
Isolate the variable z.
4z = 24
z = 6
The value of the variable z is then 6 units.</span>

50 points! Tell whether the orthocenter is inside, on, or outside the triangle. Then find the coordinates of the orthocenter.
Nady [450]

Answer:

  • (1,3) is inside the triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Orthocenter is the intersection of altitudes.

We'll calculate the slopes of the two sides and their altitudes ad find the intersection.

<h3>Side QR</h3>
  • m = (3 - 5)/(4 - (-1)) = -2/5

<u>Perpendicular slope:</u>

  • -1/m = 5/2

<u>Perpendicular line passes through S(-1, -2):</u>

  • y - (-2) = 5/2(x - (-1)) ⇒ y = 5/2x + 1/2
<h3>Side RS</h3>
  • m = (-2 - 3)/(-1 -4) = -5/-5 = 1

<u>Perpendicular slope:</u>

  • -1/m = -1/1 = -1

<u>Perpendicular line passes through Q(-1, 5):</u>

  • y - 5 = -(x - (-1)) ⇒ y = -x + 4

The intersection of the two lines is the orthocenter.

<u>Solve the system of equations to get the coordinates of the orthocenter:</u>

  • 5/2x + 1/2 = x + 4
  • 5x + 1 = -2x + 8
  • 7x = 7
  • x = 1

<u>Find y-coordinate:</u>

  • y = -1 + 4 = 3

The orthocenter is (1, 3)

If we plot the points, we'll see it is inside the triangle
