We know that
<span>An electrician can wire a house in ------------> 20 hours
so
100%----------------> 20 hours
X-------------------> 12 hour
x=12*100/20----> x=60%

that means
</span><span>the apprentice in 12 hours complete the (100-60)----> 40%

</span>the apprentice in 12 hours complete -------> 40%
x hours------------------------------------> 100%
x=100*12/40-----> x=30 hours

the answer is
30 hours

Option C: -3 is the average rate of change between $x=-1$ and $x=1$

Explanation:

The formula to determine the average rate of change is given by

Average rate of change = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We need to find the average rate of change between $x=-1$ and $x=1$

Thus, from the table, we have,

$x_1=-1$ , $y_1=5$

$x_2=1$ , $y_2=-1$

Thus, substituting these values in the formula, we get,

Average rate of change = $\frac{-1-5}{1+1}$

$=\frac{-6}{2}$

$=-3$

Thus, the average rate of change between $x=-1$ and $x=1$ is -3.

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

A rectangular prism has volume 4,800 cubic yards, length 20 yards, and height 40 yards. Find its width, in yards.

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer: 6 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, multiply the length and the height to get 800. You know now that 800 times the width will be your volume, 4800. To find the width, divide the volume by 800, which is the length times the height. Check your work by doing 40 times 20 times 6. You get 4800, which is your volume, which means your correct!

How do you know if a graph you are looking at shows a periodic function?

Savatey [412]

You know when it is a periodic function if the values repeats in regular intervals or periods. An example of this is trigonometric functions that repeat over intervals of 2 pi radians.

This table models a linear function. x −8 −4 4 8 y −3 0 6 9 Enter the coordinates of the y-intercept in the boxes.

adell [148]

Answer:

y-intercept is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given table

x: -8 -4 4 8

y: -3 0 6 9

We can select any two points

$x_1=-8,y_1=-3$

$x_2=-4,y_2=0$

Firstly, we will find slope

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

now, we can plug values

$m=\frac{0+3}{-4+8}$

$m=\frac{3}{4}\quad$

now, we can use point slope form of line

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

we can plug values

$y+3=\frac{3}{4}(x+8)$

now, we can solve for y

$y=\frac{3}{4}x+3$

For finding y-intercept , we can plug x=0

$y=\frac{3}{4}\times 0+3$

$y=0+3$

$y=3$

So,

y-intercept is 3
