Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find y, follow these steps:

4y - 2 (1 - y) = -44

First, distribute the -2 into the parenthesis:

4y - 2 + 2y = -44

The reason the 2y is positive is due to the fact that negative and negative cancel each other out and form a positive.

Now, combine like terms:

6y - 2 = -44

To get y, you need to isolate it from the constants. In order to do so, do the inverse relationship for the constant -2. To do this, add 2 to -44:

6y = -42

Now, divide six on both sides. You divide because six is currently being multiplied with y. Keep in mind that the 42 is still negative!

y = -7

Hope this helps!

Please finish this equation and write the answer

olga55 [171]

Given:

The equation is:

$2540=\dfrac{22}{7}r^2(20)$

To find:

The solution for the given equation.

Solution:

We have,

$2540=\dfrac{22}{7}r^2(20)$

It can be written as:

$\dfrac{2540\times 7}{22\times 20}=r^2$

$\dfrac{17780}{440}=r^2$

$\dfrac{889}{22}=r^2$

Taking square root on both sides, we get

$\sqrt{\dfrac{889}{22}}=r$ [Radius cannot be negative]

$r=6.3568145$

$r\approx 6.36$

Therefore, the value of r is about 6.36 cm.

A digital rain gauge has an outdoor sensor that collects rainfall and transmits data to an indoor display. Assume you produced a

evablogger [386]

Answer:

a. A continuous graph

b. a straight line graph with a gentle positive slope

c. The graph consists of three straight lines attached end to end, with the first segment being an inclined positively sloped graph, the second segment is an horizontal line while the third segment is a gentle positively sloped straight line

Step-by-step explanation:

a. A continuous graph

Given that the rain gauge is a digital rain gauge, the values transmitted to the indoor display are those collected by the outdoor sensor, we have that the output to the transmitter can be any value within a possible and finite range of values, therefore the graph is continuous

b. Whereby it rained at a constant rate of 0.1 inch per hour over 24-hour period, we have;

i) Whereby the graph is the level of water in the rain gauge over a given period of time, the shape of the graph will be a straight line graph with a gentle positive slope of 0.1 the domain will be from 0 to 24 hours, while the range will be from 0 to 2.4 inches

c) i) Given that i) the rain falls at a constant rate of 0.1 inch per hour for 6 hours, and ii) over the next 6 hours it stops raining, after which iii) it rained 0.2 inch for the next 12 hours, we have;

i) In the first part The graph will be a straight line graph with a gentle positive slope of 0.1, up to the point (6, 0.6)

ii) When the rain stops for 6 hours, from the point (6, 0.6) to the point (12, 0.12) the graph will be an horizontal line

iii) From the point (12, 0.12) to the point (24, 0.24), is represented on the graph by a straight line with a gentle positive slope of 0.2.
