The height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning. When graphed,

the function gives a line with a slope of -0.6. See the figure below. Suppose that the height of the candle after 12 hours is 17.8 centimeters. What will be the height of the candle after 19 hours?

Answer:

  13.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of -0.6 tells you the change in height in 7 hours will be ...

  (-0.6 cm/h) · (7 h) = -4.2 cm

This is added to the candle height after 12 hours, so the height after 19 hours is ...

  17.8 cm -4.2 cm = 13.6 cm

Suppose (ideally) a hammer claw moves a distance of 0.10 meters to remove a nail. If a resistance force of 1500 N is exerted by
dusya [7]

Answer:

7500 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A hammer claw moves a distance of 0.10 meters to remove a nail.

Resistance force, F = 1500 N

The person move the handle of the hammer 0.5 m

We need to find the effort force. Let it is F'. The mechanical advantage is given by :

m=\dfrac{effort}{resistance}=\dfrac{d_i}{d_o}

Where d_i\ \text{and}\ d_o are input and output distance respectively.

m=\dfrac{F'}{F}=\dfrac{0.1}{0.5}\\\\\dfrac{1500}{F}=\dfrac{0.1}{0.5}\\\\\dfrac{1500}{F}=0.2\\\\F=7500\ N

So, the effort force is 7500 N.

Write the equation of the transformed graphs of each trigonometric function
IgorLugansk [536]

The equations of the transformed graphs are y = \tan(\frac{\pi}{4}x) + 3 and y = -\frac34\sin(2x)

<h3>How to transform the functions?</h3>

<u>The tangent function</u>

The parent function is:

y = Atan(Bx) + k

It has a period of 4.

So, we have:

\frac{\pi}{B} = 4

Make B the subject

B = \frac{\pi}{4}

It is shifted vertically up by 3 units.

So, we have:

k = 3

Substitute these values in y = Atan(Bx) + k and remove A

y = \tan(\frac{\pi}{4}x) + 3

Hence, the equation of the transformed graph is y = \tan(\frac{\pi}{4}x) + 3

<u>The sine function</u>

The parent function is:

y = Asin(Bx) + k

It has a period of \pi

So, we have:

\frac{2\pi}{B} = \pi

Make B the subject

B = 2

It has an amplitude of 3/4

So, we have:

A = 3/4

It is flipped across the x-axis

So, we have:

A = -3/4

Substitute these values in y = Asin(Bx) + k and remove k

y = -\frac34\sin(2x)

Hence, the equation of the transformed graph is y = -\frac34\sin(2x)

Mrs. Salinas bought 10 pounds of a mixture made of M&amp;Ms and peanuts. M&amp;Ms sell for $3 pound. Peanuts sell for $2 pound.
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Mrs. Salinas buys 4 ounces M&Ms and 6 ounces Peanuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total weight of the mixture = 10 pounds.

Total money Mrs. Salinas paid = $24.

We have to find out the weight of each M&Ms and peanuts.

Solution,

Let the weight of M&Ms be x.

And the weight of peanuts be y.

Since total weight of the mixture is 10 pounds.

So, we can frame it in equation as;

x+y=10\ \ \ \ \ equation\ 1

Again, Total money paid by Mrs. Salinas is the sum of weight of M&Ms multiplied by price for each ounce and weight of peanuts multiplied by price for each ounce.

So, we can frame it in equation as;

3x+2y=24\ \ \ equation\ 2

Now, multiplying equation 1 by 2, we get;

2(x+y)=10\times2\\\\2x+2y=20\ \ \ \ \ equation\ 3

Now subtract equation 3 from equation 2, we get;

(3x+2y)-(2x+2y)=24-20\\\\3x+2y-2x-2y=4\\\\x=4

On substituting the value of x in equation 1, we get;

x+y=10\\\\4+y=10\\\\y=10-4\\\\y=6

Hence Mrs. Salinas buys 4 ounces M&Ms and 6 ounces Peanuts.
