A rectangular piece of metal is 15 in longer than it is wide. Squares with sides 3 in long are cut from the four corners and the

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The original dimensions of the piece of metal are

Length: 36 inches

Width: 21 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the original length pf the piece of metal

y ----> the original width pf the piece of metal

we know that

$x=y+15$ ----> equation A

The volume of the box is equal to

$V=LWH$

we have

$V=1,350\ in^3$

$L=(x-3-3)=(x-6)\ in\\W=(y-3-3)=(y-6)\ in$

$H=3\ in$

substitute in the formula of volume

$1,350=(x-6)(y-6)(3)$ ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

$1,350=(y+15-6)(y-6)(3)$

solve for y

$450=(y+9)(y-6)$

$y^2-6y+9y-54=450\\y^2+3y-504=0$

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

using a graphing tool

The solution is y=21

Find the value of x

$x=21+15=36$

therefore

The original dimensions of the piece of metal are

Length: 36 inches

Width: 21 inches

Maria finishes ¾ of the race in 6 hours. How long was the entire race?

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

We are asked to find the duration of entire race. As Rachel finished of the race in 6 hours, so of x will be equal to 6. Therefore, the duration of entire race was 8 hours.

Please help me with the worksheet

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

9) a = ¾, <u>vertex</u>: (-4, 2), <u>Equation</u>: y = ¾|x + 4| + 2

10) a = ¼, <u>vertex</u>: (0, -3), <u>Equation</u>: y = ¼|x - 0| - 3

11) a = -4, <u>vertex</u>: (3, 1), <u>Equation</u>: y = -4|x - 3| + 1

12) a = 1, <u>vertex</u>: (-2, -2), <u>Equation</u>: y = |x + 2| - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

I could <u><em>only</em></u> work on questions 9, 10, 11, 12 in accordance with Brainly's rules. Nevertheless, the techniques demonstrated in this post applies to all of the given problems in your worksheet.

<h2><u>Definitions:</u></h2>

The given set of graphs are examples of absolute value functions. The <u>general form</u> of absolute value functions is: y = a|x – h| + k, where:

|a| = determines the vertical stretch or compression factor (wideness or narrowness of the graph).

(h, k) = vertex of the function

x = h represents the axis of symmetry.

<h2><u>Solutions:</u></h2><h3>Question 9) ⇒ Vertex: (-4, 2)</h3>

<u>Solve for a:</u>

In order to solve for the value of <em>a</em>, choose another point on the graph, (0, 5) and substitute into the general form (equation):

y = a|x – h| + k

5 = a| 0 - (-4)| + 2

5 = a| 0 + 4 | + 2

5 = a|4| + 2

5 = 4a + 2

Subtract 2 from both sides:

5 - 2 = 4a + 2 - 2

3 = 4a

Divide both sides by 4 to solve for <em>a</em>:

$\LARGE\mathsf{\frac{3}{4}\:=\:\frac{4a}{4}}$

a = ¾

Therefore, given the value of a = ¾, and the vertex, (-4, 2), then the equation of the absolute value function is:

<u>Equation</u>: y = ¾|x + 4| + 2

<h3>Question 10) ⇒ Vertex: (0, -3)</h3>

<u>Solve for a:</u>

In order to solve for the value of <em>a</em>, choose another point on the graph, (4, -2) and substitute into the general form (equation):

y = a|x – h| + k

-2 = a|4 - 0| -3

-2 = a|4| - 3

-2 = 4a - 3

Add 3 to both sides:

-2 + 3 = 4a - 3 + 3

1 = 4a

Divide both sides by 4 to solve for <em>a</em>:

$\LARGE\mathsf{\frac{1}{4}\:=\:\frac{4a}{4}}$

a = ¼

Therefore, given the value of a = ¼, and the vertex, (0, -3), then the equation of the absolute value function is:

<u>Equation</u>: y = ¼|x - 0| - 3

<h3>Question 11) ⇒ Vertex: (3, 1)</h3>

<u>Solve for a:</u>

In order to solve for the value of <em>a</em>, choose another point on the graph, (4, -3) and substitute into the general form (equation):

y = a|x – h| + k

-3 = a|4 - 3| + 1

-3 = a|1| + 1

-3 = a + 1

Subtract 1 from both sides to isolate <em>a</em>:

-3 - 1 = a + 1 - 1

a = -4

Therefore, given the value of a = -4, and the vertex, (3, 1), then the equation of the absolute value function is:

<u>Equation</u>: y = -4|x - 3| + 1

<h3>Question 12) ⇒ Vertex: (-2, -2)</h3>

<u>Solve for a:</u>

In order to solve for the value of <em>a</em>, choose another point on the graph, (-4, 0) and substitute into the general form (equation):

y = a|x – h| + k

0 = a|-4 - (-2)| - 2

0 = a|-4 + 2| - 2

0 = a|-2| - 2

0 = 2a - 2

Add 2 to both sides:

0 + 2 = 2a - 2 + 2

2 = 2a

Divide both sides by 2 to solve for <em>a</em>:

$\LARGE\mathsf{\frac{2}{2}\:=\:\frac{2a}{2}}$

a = 1

Therefore, given the value of a = -1, and the vertex, (-2, -2), then the equation of the absolute value function is:

<u>Equation</u>: y = |x + 2| - 2

Describe how to draw a line that passes through the origin and has a slope of -2/-3?

Sophie [7]

First of all you know it wiill be a positive slope as both the rise and the run are negative. a negative divided by a negative equals a positive. so you can plot the points (2,3) and (-2,-3) as they will be points on this line. next you take a straight line and place it so that both points are intercepted. then extend the line outwards.
