Answer:

x = the time in months, and y = the mass in grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x is dependent to a fixed number, it must be time. This is because 0.6 represents the fixed amount of weight overtime.

y in the other hand is the result of the process which is the mass of the lizard.

Answer:

independent variable- change or control

dependent- measure

so ...

x can be type of lizard (you can change the lizard's size, type/species, etc)

y can be the mass in grams ( u measure mass)

Plz help me this is already suppose to be done lol

nignag [31]

Answer:

1. 247 mg ÷ 10 = 24.7 cg

2. 247 mg ÷ 100 = 2.47 dg

247 mg ÷ 1000 = 0.247 g

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To convert from 'mg' to 'cg', you must divide by 10 because 'cg' consists of 10 mg.

2. To convert from 'mg' to 'dg', you must divide by 100 because 'dg' consists of 100 mg.

3. To convert from 'mg' to 'g', you must divide by 1000 because 'g' consists of 1000 mg.

Point F is at (0, -10) and point H is at (-6, 5). Find the coordinates of point G on line segment FH such that the ratio of FG t

Tanya [424]

Answer:

G(x,y)=(-4,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the section formula:

$(x,y)=\left(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, \dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)$

Given:

$F(x_1,y_1)=(0, -10)\\H(x_2,y_2)=(-6, 5)\\FG:GH=m:n=2:1$

We substitute the values to get:

$G(x,y)=\left(\dfrac{2*-6+1*0}{2+1}, \dfrac{2*5+1*-10}{2+1}\right)\\=\left(\dfrac{-12}{3}, \dfrac{10-10}{3}\right)\\=\left(\dfrac{-12}{3}, \dfrac{0}{3}\right)\\\\G(x,y)=(-4,0)$

The first three steps in determining the solution set of the system of equations algebraically are shown.

jolli1 [7]

Since both are equivalent to y, the equations must be equivalent.
x^2-x-3= -3x+5
x^2+2x-8=0

(x+4)(x-2)=0
x=-4, x=2

Plug the values of x in to either equation
y=-3(-4)+5
y= 12+5
y=17

y= -3(2)+5
y=-6+5
y=-1

Final answer: (-4,17) and (2,-1)
