Answer:
y = -0.2x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
To write a linear function, calculate the rate of change of the gallon of water leaving the tank and the starting level.
The function will describe the number of gallons over time or (time, gallons).
This means the function has data points (1, 7.8) and (9, 6.2).
Use the rate of change or slope formula to calculate it.
This means that for the formula y = mx+b then m = -0.2.
This also means that after losing 0.2 gallons the first hour it was at 7.8. So the starting value is 8 gallons.
The equation is y = -0.2 x + 8.
The answer is c eight units
Answer:
32 feet of fence
Step-by-step explanation:
The garden is a square, so the length and width are equal.
A = L x W
W = L
A = W²
A = 64
W² = 64
W = √64 = ±8 -- (-8) would be extraneous
W = 8 ft
L = 8ft
Since she is putting the fence around the garden, she needs to find the perimeter.
P = 2L + 2W
P = 2(8) + 2(8)
P = 16 + 16
P = 32 ft
32 feet of fence
Answer:
Width=6.5 cm
Length=12 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Express the lengths and widths
Width=w
Length=l, but 1 cm less than twice the width=(2×w)-1=2 w-1
Step 2: Solve for the length and width
A=L×W
where;
A=area of the photograph
L=length of the photograph
W=width of the photograph
In our case;
A=91 cm²
L=2 w-1
W=w
91=(2 w-1)w
2 w²-w=91
2 w²-w-91=0, is a quadratic equation
solve for w
w={-1±√(-1²-4×2×-91)}/(2×2)
w=(-1±27)/4
w=(27-1)/4=6.5, or (-1-27)/4=-8
Take w=6.5 cm
L=(2×6.5)-1=13-1=12 cm
Width=6.5 cm
Length=12 cm
