Answer:

The value of a is "3", to complete the coordinate point (3,7) on the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the slope of the line, and also one point through which the line passes. Therefore, we can find the actual equation of the line by using the slope-point form of the line:

$y-y_0=m(x-x_0)\\y-(-2)=(-3)(x-6)\\y+2=-3x+18\\y=-3x+18-2\\y=-3x+16$

Now, we need to find which value of "x" renders a y-value of "7", to complete the coordinate pair (a, 7) as requested. Therefore, we ask for the y-value in the previous equation to be "7", and solve for its associated x-value:

$y=-3x+16\\7=-3x+16\\7-16=-3x\\-9=-3x\\x=\frac{-9}{-3} \\x=3$

Therefore, x = 3

Daniel dives into a swimming pool. The height of his head is represented by the function h(t) = -8t2 - 28t + 60, where t is the

8_murik_8 [283]

So, h(t) is how far is Daniel's head from the surface of the water, namely the surface itself is when the height is nill, so his head is at the surface and the height of it is just 0, thus h(t) = 0. Namely, what is "t" when h(t) is 0?

$\bf h(t)=-8t^2-28t+60\implies \stackrel{h(t)}{0}=-8t^2-28t+60
\\\\\\
0=-2t^2-7t+15\implies 2t^2+7t-15=0\implies (2t+3)(t-5)=0
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
2t+3=0\implies 2t=-3\implies &t=-\frac{3}{2}\\\\
t-5=0\implies &\boxed{t=5}
\end{cases}$

clearly the seconds cannot be a negative unit, so is not -3/2.

Answer:

a) F

b) B, E, D

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The segment with the greatest gradient has the largest change in y-values per unit change in x-values

From the given option, the rate of change of the y to the x-values of B = the gradient = (4 units)/(2 units) = 2

The gradient of F = (-3units)/(1 unit) = -3

The gradient of A = 4/4 = 1

The gradient of C = -2/5

The gradient of D = 2/6 = 1/3

The gradient of E = 3/4

The segment with the greatest gradient is F

b) The steepest segment has the higher gradient

From their calculated we have;

The gradient of segment B = 2 therefore, B is steeper than E that has a gradient of 3/4, and E is steeper than D, as the gradient of D = 1/3

Therefore, we have;

B, E, D.
