Answer:

W(t)=5.5t+79.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please consider the complete question.

A young sumo wrestler decided to go on a special high-protein diet to gain weight rapidly. He gained weight at a rate of 5.5 kilograms per month. After 11 months, he weighed 140 kilograms. Let W(t) denote the sumo wrestler's weight W(measured in kilograms) as a function of time t (measured in months).  

Since wrestler gained weight at a rate of 5.5 kilograms per month, so slope of line be 5.5.

Now, we will use point-slope form of equation as:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1), where,

m = Slope

(x_1,y_1) = Given point on the line.

Upon substituting coordinates of point (11,140) in above formula, we will get:

y-140=5.5(x-11)

y-140=5.5x-60.5

y-140+140=5.5x-60.5+140

y=5.5x+79.5

Therefore, our required function would be W(t)=5.5t+79.5.

What are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from (-10, -3)(−10,−3) to (2, -3)(2,−3) that partitions the s
azamat

Answer:

the coordinates of the point would be (-2.5,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to split the segment from (-10,-3) to (2,-3) into segments with a ratio of 5:3. Since the y-coordinate is -3 for both coordinates, the y-coordinate of the partitioning point will be -3. The ratio of 5:3 corresponds to 5/8 of the distance between the x-coordinates of the two points. So we would be moving 5/8 of the distance from -10 to 2 for the x-coordinate, so the x-coordinate would be -10 + 5/8 (12) = -2.5. So the coordinates of the point would be (-2.5,3)

Answer:

  x ≈ 9.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant trig relation is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Filling in the given values gives ...

  tan(59°) = x/5.9

Multiplying by 5.9, we have ...

  x = 5.9×tan(59°) ≈ 9.8
