What is the meaning of the slope of the line ?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mila [183]3 years ago
4 0

Step-by-step explanation: In algebra, we use the word <em>slope</em> to describe how steep a line is and slope can be found using the ratio <em>rise/run </em>between any two points that are on that line.

The ratio <em>rise/run</em> is the equal to the rate of change

or the <em>change in y/change in x</em>.

In algebra, the rate of change or the <em>change in y/change in x</em> or

the <em>rise/run</em> is also called the slope of a line.

Mrs.Cleaver mixes 1.24 liters of red paint with 3 times of blue paint to obtain purple paint. She divides the paint equally in 5
slamgirl [31]

The amount of blue paint in each container is \fbox{\begin\\\ 0.744 liters \end{minispace}}.

Further explanation:

Mrs. Cleaver mixes 1.24 litres of red paint with 3 times blue paint to obtain purple paint.

So, the amount of blue paint used is calculated as,

{3} \times {1.24}=3.72 \text { liters}

Therefore, the total paint mixture is the sum of blue paint and red paint.

\fbox{\begin \\\begin{aligned} \text{Total paint}= 1.24+3.72\\=4.96 \text{ liters}\\\end{aligned}\\\end{minispace}}

Now, as Mrs. Cleaver divides the paint mixture equally in 5 containers so the amount of paint in one container is calculated as,

\boxed{\begin{aligned}\text{Amount of paint in one container}&= \dfrac{4.96}{5}\\ &=0.992 \text{ liters} \end {aligned}}

Since amount of blue paint mixed is three times the red paint so the fraction of blue paint to the total paint is \dfrac{3}{4}.  

Now, as it is known that the fraction of blue paint to the total paint is \dfrac{3}{4} and the amount of paint in a container is 0.992 \text{ liters} then the blue paint in one container is calculated as,

\boxed{\begin{aligned}\text{Blue paint in one container} =\dfrac{3}{4} \times 0.992\\=0.248 \text{ liters}\end{aligned}}

Thus, the amount of blue paint in each container is \fbox{\begin\\\ 0.744 liters \end{minispace}}.

100 POINTS!!!!
Vladimir [108]

<em>There is no specific requirement in the question, but I'm assuming you need to compute the time needed for Alexis reach 1,000,000 Instagram followers</em>

Answer:

t= 462.82\ days

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exponential Growth </u>

When the number of observed elements grows as the previous value multiplied by a constant ratio, we have exponential growth. The formula to model such situations is

\displaystyle f(x) = f_o(1 + r)^t

Where f_o is the initial value of f, 1 + r is the constant ratio, and t is the time expressed in half days (12 hours)

The initial value is 100 Instant followers, thus:

\displaystyle f(x) = 100(1.01)^t

We need to know when the number of followers will reach 1,000,000. Setting up the equation

\displaystyle 100(1.01)^t=1,000,000

Simplifying by 100

\displaystyle (1.01)^t=10,000

Taking logarithms

\displaystyle t\ log(1.01)=log\ 10,000

\displaystyle t\ log(1.01)=4

Solving for t

\displaystyle t=\frac{4}{log(1.01)}=925.63 periods of 12 hrs

t= 462.82\ days

Can I have help solving for x?:))
zvonat [6]

Answer:

24.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We will have to use trigonometry here to find the value of x. The first thing we can see is that we need to work out the hypotenuse. We need to chose whether to use Sin, Cos or Tan. We do that by look at the sides .

→ 'x' is the hypotenuse

→ 12 is opposite

→ The adjacent is the side that doesn't have a numerical value to we look for a formula triangle without adjacent in it

Tan = Opposite ÷ Adjacent

Sin = Opposite ÷ Hypotenuse

Cos = Adjacent ÷ Hypotenuse

We can see the Sin formula has no adjacent in it so we use that formula. However we want to work out the hypotenuse so we have to rearrange the sin formula to get hypotenuse as the subject so

Sin = Opposite ÷ Hypotenuse

Hypotenuse = Opposite ÷ Sin

→ Let's substitute in the values

Hypotenuse = 12 ÷ Sin(29)

Hypotenuse = 24.7519841

So the value of x is 24.8 to 1 decimal place
