Answer:

3 3/5 =x

3 .6 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

6/5 = x/3

Use cross products

6*3 = 5*x

18 = 5x

Divide each side by 5

18/5 = 5x/5

18/5 =x

3 3/5 =x

Answer: 3.6 = x

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for x in the given proportion, we simply use the means-extremes property which states the the product of the extremes, (6)(3), equals the product of the means, (5)(x).

So we have (6)(3) or 18 equals (5)(x) or 5x.

So we have the equation 18 = 5x.

Now dividing both sides by 5, 3.6 = x.

Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.

natka813 [3]

Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of

the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.

Let x be the amount of time in hours

Let y be the heoght of a candle in centimeters

The two points are then as (9,24.5) and (23,17.5).

$\mathrm{Find\:the\:line\:}\mathbf{y=mx+b}\mathrm{\:passing\:through\:}\left(9,\:24.5\right)\mathrm{,\:}\left(23,\:17.5\right)$

$\mathrm{Slope\:between\:two\:points}:\quad \mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(9,\:24.5\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(23,\:17.5\right)$

$m=\frac{17.5-24.5}{23-9}$

$m=-0.5$

$\mathrm{Plug\:the\:slope\:}-0.5\mathrm{\:into\:}y=mx+b$

$y=\left(-0.5\right)x+b$

$\mathrm{Plug\:in\:}\left(9,\:24.5\right)\mathrm{:\:}\quad \:x=9,\:y=24.5$

$24.5=\left(-0.5\right)\cdot \:9+b$

$-4.5+b=24.5$

$b=29$

$\mathrm{Construct\:the\:line\:equation\:}\mathbf{y=mx+b}\mathrm{\:where\:}\mathbf{m}=-0.5\mathrm{\:and\:}\mathbf{b}=29$

$y=-0.5x+29$

Now plug in x=21, we get

$y=-0.5*21+29=18.5$

Thus the height of the candle after 21 hours is 18.5 centimeters.

I need help with this if anyone can help

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer: $\Large\boxed{Fourth~Choice.~f(x)=2-i}$

Concept:

Here, we need to know the power of imaginary numbers

i = √(-1)

i² = -1

i³ = -i

i⁴ = 1

Solve:

Given function expression

$f(x)=x^3-2x^2$

Given the requirement of the question

To find the expression for f(i)

Substitute values into the expression

$f(x)=(i)^3-2(i)^2$

Simplify the exponents

$f(x)=(-i)-2(-1)$

Expand the parenthesis

$f(x)=-i-(-2)$

$\Large\boxed{f(x)=2-i}$

Hope this helps!! :)

What is the unit rate of y = 2/3x ? ( must satisfy the definition of unit rate )

Nat2105 [25]

The unit rate is 2/3 because in the line y=2/3x, 2/3 is the slope (y=mx+b). The slope of the line is pretty much the definition of a unit rate because the unit rate is a constant addition or subtraction over and over. In addition, it is a straight line(y=mx+b) and the values are going up at a constant rate of 2/3.

Graph y = (x - 1) 2 + 2. Click on the graph until the graph of y = (x - 1) 2 + 2 appears.

strojnjashka [21]

The vertex at (1,2) and from there use this to make the graph.

over 1, up 1. over 2 up 4, over 3 up 9. and if you know its right side, you know its left side too.
