Answer:

Option C. the volume of water in the tank is decreasing by 0.4L per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we have

$A(2,8)\ B(7,6)$

Substitute the values

$m=\frac{6-8}{7-2}$

$m=\frac{-2}{5}=-0.40\frac{liters}{hour}$

The slope is negative

is decreasing

That means------> the volume of water in the tank is decreasing by 0.4L per hour

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to plug numbers into point slope formula (make sure to use a slope of -4/3 since its perpendicular) and then solve for y.

Base - i cant tell if it’s multiplication or a decimal but if it’s a decimal base is 3.4 if it’s multiplication 12

height - 3.52

area - 1/2 x 3.4(might be 12) x 3.52 = 5.984

Two fractions are given. For each one, write its decimal equivalent and determine if the decimal is terminating or non terminati

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

9/20 yes, 4/15 not. See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Pick 9/20 and multiply numerator and denominator by 5:

9/20 = 45/100

We know that if we divide a number by 100 we need to move the coma as two places left, so:

9/20 = 45/100 = 0.45

And this is a terminal decimal as we know where it ends.

On the other hand if we pick 4/15 let try to divide it (here I will do it 'manually'):

4 |_ 15

we can divide 4 by 15, so we use 40 and begin with a comma

40 |_ 15

15 enters 2 times in 40 with a rest of 10, so:

40 |_ 15

30 0.2

100

100 divided by 15 is 6 and we have 10 as rest again, and again and again...

40 |_ 15

30 0.266.....

100

....

So, we will have 0.266666666666666 infinitely. The decimal for 4/15 is non terminating and is 0.26666666666666666...

triangle ABC is shown in the diagram. The links of the sides are in terms of the variable n, where n >4. complete the inquali

Answer:

m∠B < m∠A < m∠C

Step-by-step explanation:

We can work with the triangle inequality to find that the side measures form a triangle when n > 5/4. For the given value of n ≥ 4, we don't need to be concerned with whether a triangle is formed or not.

For n = 4, the side lengths are ...

a = 2(4) = 8

b = (4) +3 = 7

c = 3(4) -2 = 10

The longest side is opposite the largest angle, so the ordering of angles is ...

m∠B < m∠A < m∠C

_____

The triangle inequality requires all of these inequalities be true:

a+b > c ⇒ 3n+3 > 3n-2 . . . always true
b+c > a ⇒ 4n+1 > 2n ⇒ n > -1/2
c+a > b ⇒ 5n-2 > n+3 ⇒ n > 5/4

That will be the case for n > 5/4. The attached graph shows the sides and angles keep the same order for n > 3.
