Answer:
Directly proportional: as one amount increases, another amount increases at the same rate.
Inversely Proportional: when one value decreases at the same rate that the other increases.
Step-by-step explanation:
The rule is 3^x.
Check: 3^1 = 3; 3^2 = 9; 3^3 = 27 and 3^4 = 81
The first step is to quickly factor each of the five equations... to do so, find the right factors of the 3rd given number so that they add up in an equal number to the second number... 14 = -7 • -2 and -9 = -7 + -2
a^2 - 9a + 14 = 0
(a - 7) (a - 2)
a - 7 = 0, a = 7
a - 2 = 0, a = 2
{2,7}
a^2 + 9a + 14 = 0
(a + 7) (a + 2)
a + 7 = 0, a = -7
a + 2 = 0, a = -2
{-2, -7}
a^2 + 3a - 10 = 0
(a + 5) (a - 2)
a + 5 = 0, a = -5
a - 2 = 0, a = 2
{-5, 2}
a^2 - 5a - 14 = 0
(a - 7) (a + 2)
a - 7 = 0, a = 7
a + 2 = 0, a = -2
{-2, 7}
Answer:
1) 
2) 12 inches tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:
Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.
In this case:
(The height of the candle in inches)
(The time in hours)
Then, we can rewrite it:
Based on the information provided in the exercise, the line passes through these points:
and 
Then, we can find the slope of the line with the formula 
:
Now we need to substitute the slope and one of the points into and then solve for "b":
Substituting values, we get that the a linear equation that models the relationship between the heigth of the candle and the time, is:
2) We must substitute 
into the linear equation in order to find the height of the candle after burning 8 hours:
