3 0

The student completed 13 courses with 3 credit hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total credit hours = 59 credits hours

Total courses = 18

Let,

3 credit hours courses = x

4 credit hours courses = y

According to statement;

x+y=18     Eqn 1

3x+4y=59   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 3

3(x+y=18)\\3x+3y=54\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(3x+4y)-(3x+3y)=59-54\\3x+4y-3x-3y=5\\y=5

Putting y=5 in Eqn 1

x+5=18\\x=18-5\\x=13

The student completed 13 courses with 3 credit hours.

Given:

PQRS\sim TUVW

In the given figure, PS=x, RS=35, UV=20, VW=25 and TW=15

To find:

The scale factor from PQRS to TUVW.

Solution:

We have,

PQRS\sim TUVW

We know that the corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional. The scale factor is the ratio of one side of image and corresponding side of preimage.

The scale factor is:

k=\dfrac{VW}{RS}

k=\dfrac{25}{35}

k=\dfrac{5}{7}

Therefore, the scale factor from PQRS to TUVW is k=\dfrac{5}{7}.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(-9+h)= (-9+h)² = h²-18h+81

f(-9+h)-f(-9)=h²-18h+81 -81 because : f(-9) = (-9)² = 81

f(-9+h)-f(-9)=h²-18h

(f(-9+h)-f(-9))/h=(h²-18h)/h = h(h-18)/h =h-18

lim  (f(-9+h)-f(-9))/h = lim(h-18= - 18

h→0                             h→0

1-2m-5m=15 multistep homework
Montano1993 [528]

1-2m-5m=15

combine like terms

1 -7m = 15

subtract 1 from each side

1-1-7m = 15-1

simplify

-7m = 14

divide by -7

-7m/-7 = 14/-7

simplify

m = -2

Type the slope-intercept equation
natulia [17]

Answer:

y= -2x +1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>slope- intercept form</u><u>:</u>

y= mx +c, where m us the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

Let's find the value of m first using the gradient formula.

Gradient= \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2}

m =  \frac{ - 3 - 3}{2 - ( - 1)}  \\ m =  \frac{ - 6}{2 + 1}  \\ m =  \frac{ - 6}{3}  \\ m =  - 2

y= -2x +c

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates.

When x= -1, y=3,

3= -2(-1) +c

3= 2 +c

c= 3 -2

c= 1

Thus the equation of the line is y= -2x +1.
