Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Move the decimal point in the divisor and dividend.

Turn the divisor (the number you’re dividing by) into a whole number by moving the decimal point all the way to the right. At the same time, move the decimal point in the dividend (the number you’re dividing) the same number of places to the right.

Place a decimal point in the quotient (the answer) directly above where the decimal point now appears in the dividend.

Divide as usual, being careful to line up the quotient properly so that the decimal point falls into place.

Line up each digit in the quotient just over the last digit in the dividend used in that cycle.

Write a linear equation in standard form for the line that goes through (4,4)and (8,3)

Alexus [3.1K]

The standard equation of a line has the form:

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope of the line and b is the intercept.

The only thing we need to determine the equation of a line is two points, in this case, we have the points (4,4) and (8,3). Then, from the first point we know that when x equals 4 y equals 4 and from the second point we know that when x equals 8 y equals 3, we can express this with the standard formula of a line, like this:

4=m*4+b and 3=8*m+b

subtraction the second expression from the second one, we get:

4-3=m*4+b-8*m-b, we can cancel b and then we have:

4-3=m*4-m*8, we can subtract 3 from 4 in the left side and 8*m from 4*m from the right side and then:

1= -4*m , we can divide both sides by -4 and then:

m= -1/4

Now that we know the value of the slope, we only need to specify the value of b, we can do this by replacing the value of m in the expression 4=m*4+b of the first point and then solve for b, like this;

4=m*4+b, m=-1/4, then:

4= 4*(-1/4)+b, then:

4= -1+b, then, adding -1 in both sides we have:

4+1=b, then:

b=5

And the standar form of the line would be:

y=(-1/4)*x+5

The volume of a rectangular prism is (x4 + 4x3 + 3x2 + 8x + 4), and the area of its base is (x3 + 3x2 + 8). If the volume of a r

olga55 [171]

Dividing the volume by the base area, you find the height to be ...
$\frac{x^{4}+4x^{3}+3x^{2}+8x+4}{x^{3}+3x^{2}+8}=x+1-\frac{4}{x^{3}+3x^{2}+8}$

The height of the prism is $x+1-\frac{4}{x^{3}+3x^{2}+8}$
