The linear equation represents y = mx + b describes several real world situations such as
- Relation between printer and ink cartridges,
- Relationship between number of songs and how much is left on the card.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
Linear equations y = mx + b.
m is your rate of change.
b is your constant. This is the initial value of y. The value of y when x is 0.
Finally, y is the thing that depends on x.
Oh right, examples:
- I buy a printer for $100 and the ink cartridges cost $25 each. The relationship between ink cartridges and total cost.
total cost = 25(cartridges I buy) + 100 or y = 25x + 100
-
I get a $100 iTunes gift card for my birthday and then start buying $1 songs. The relationship between the number of songs I buy and how much is left on the card
amount left on card = -$1(songs bought) + 100 or y = -x +100
The formula for the area of a triangle is (1/2)bh = A
when we plug in the numbers, we get (1/2)(3x-1)x = A
using the distributive property we get (1.5x - .5)x = A
Then its 1.5x^2 - .5x = A
then if we factor out 0.5x we get 0.5x(3x-1) = A
then with the zero product property, 0.5x can equal 0 and x would need to equal 0.
if 3x-1 = 0 , then 3x = 1 then x = 1/3. so our answer would be 1/3 I'm pretty sure because a length cannot be 0
