Answer:

C. 2y = (2x-1)/4

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation is linear when the exponents of the variables are 1 and the sum of the exponents of the variables in any term is 1.

a) 3xy = 4 . . . . sum of exponents is 1+1=2

b) f(x) = 2/3(1 -x^2) . . . . exponent is 2

c) 2y = (2x -1)/4 . . . . all exponents are 1 (linear)

d) y = 3/(x+1) ⇒ xy +y = 3 . . . . sum of exponents is 1+1 = 2

The radius of the base of the cylinder is 2x cm and the height of the cylinder is h cm.

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

h = 9x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: i. for the cylinder, base radius = 2x cm, height = h cm

ii. for the sphere, radius = 3x cm

iii. volume of the cylinder = volume of the sphere

volume of a cylinder is given as;

volume = $\frac{1}{3}$ $\pi$ $r^{2}$ h

where: r is its base radius and h the height

volume of the given cylinder = $\frac{1}{3}$ $\pi$ x $(2x)^{2}$ x h

= $\frac{1}{3}$ $\pi$ x 4 $x^{2}$ x h

= $\frac{4}{3}$ $\pi$ $x^{2}$ h

volume of a sphere = $\frac{4}{3}$ $\pi$ $r^{3}$

where r is the radius.

volume of the given sphere = $\frac{4}{3}$ $\pi$ x $(3x)^{3}$

= $\frac{4}{3}$ $\pi$ x 9 $x^{3}$

= 12 $\pi$ $x^{3}$

Since,

volume of the cylinder = volume of the sphere

Then we have;

$\frac{4}{3}$ $\pi$ $x^{2}$ h = 12 $\pi$ $x^{3}$

4 $\pi$ $x^{2}$ h = 36 $\pi$ $x^{3}$

subtract $x^{2}$ from both sides

4 $\pi$ h = 36 $\pi$ x

divide both sides by 4 $\pi$

h = $\frac{36\pi x}{4\pi }$

= 9x

h = 9x

A line passes through the point (-3, -3) and has a slope of 1/2. What is the equation of the line?

harina [27]

To solve this, we need to understand Slope Intercept Form (SIF), as well as how to graph a line.

SIF is the standard equation of lines on graphs. It is "y=mx+b" where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0.

To find the y-intercept (which we will need to form the equation), we should simply graph the line. This will let us visualize the y-intercept, and overall make it easier to understand.

To graph a line, we should start with the point we have (that being (3, 3)) and follow the slope with rise/run. This means in this case, we will go right 2 for every 1 up, or 2 left for every 1 down.

Below I have attached a graph to help you see how to graph this, which we will get our equation from. The highlighted area is our y-intercept. The red circle shows our original point (3,3), and the blue dots show our slope.

Using the graph, we can see the equation for this line is y=1/2x+1.5.
