A teacher collects data on the number of hours, s, his students spend studying and the number of hours, t, they spend watching T

V each day. He finds that there is a negative linear association between s and t that is best modeled by the equation s=−0.5t+3.6 .
What is the meaning of 3.6 in this equation?

The model suggests that students study about 3.6 hours each day.

According to the model, for each additional hour spent watching TV, a student will spend about 3.6 fewer hours studying.

According to the model, a student who does not watch TV studies about 3.6 hours each day.

The model predicts that students watch about 3.6 hours of TV each day.

If you would like to know the meaning of 3.6 in the following equation, you can find this using the following steps:

<span>s = -0.5 * t + 3.6
s ... the number of hours students are studying
t ... the number of hours students are watching TV

The meaning of 3.6 in the equation above is:
</span><span>According to the model, a student who does not watch TV studies about 3.6 hours each day.
</span>s = -0.5 * t + 3.6
t = 0 (not watching TV)
s = -0.5 * 0 + 3.6 = 0 + 3.6 = 3.6 hours of studying each day

The correct result would be: <span>According to the model, a student who does not watch TV studies about 3.6 hours each day.</span>

After college you start a job earning $40,000 a year. You get a 6% raise each year.
alex41 [277]
Answers: A) $44,944
B) $50,499.0784


Math: Using the percentage calculator linked below 6% of $40,000 is $2,400. Since you're getting your second raise after your first and since it is a 6% raise from what you're getting paid at that time we add pay raise 1 to your starting pay before calculating the 6% for pay raise 2. $40,000+$2,400=$42,400. 6% of $42,400 is $2,544. $42,400+$2,544=$44,944, Since that is two pay raises that would be your earnings at the end of year two (answer A).
We continue calculating 6% then adding that onto the total before calculating it for the next year for problem B.
6% of $44,944 is $2,696.64. $44,944+$2,696.64=$47,640.64.
6% of $47,640.64 is $2,858.4384. $47,640.64+$2,858.4384=$50,499.0784. That's answer B.


Hopefully you can figure out C on your own! I feel a little bad for giving a partial answer but I think you can do this!

A scientist needs 10 L of a solution that is 60% acid. She has a 50% acid solution and a 90% acid solution she can mix together
sineoko [7]

Answer:

<u>The equations system is:</u>

<u>x + y = 10</u>

<u>0.5x + 0.9y = 6</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Liters of 60% acid solution needed = 10

x = Number of liters of the 50% solution

y = Number of liters of the 90% solution

2. Which equation represents the total liters of acid that are needed?

There are two equations needed:

The first one related to the total liters needed, 10 in this case:

x + y = 10

The second one related to the acid concentration of the 10 liters:

0.5x + 0.9y = 10 * 0.6

0.5x + 0.9y = 6

<u>The equations system is:</u>

<u>x + y = 10</u>

<u>0.5x + 0.9y = 6</u>

Solving for x and y in the 2nd equation, we have:

0.5 (10 - y) + 0.9y = 6

5 - 0.5y + 0.9y = 6

0.4y = 6 - 5

0.4y = 1

y = 1/0.4 = 2.5 ⇒ x = 7.5 (10 - 2.5)

The scientist can mix 7.5 liters of the 50% acid solution and 2.5 liters of the 90% acid solution to get the 10 liters of the 60% acid solution.
