Answer:

<em>Yes, this is a linear function because the rate of change is constant</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Linear Functions</u>

We can recognize a linear relation between variables x and y when they can be represented by a formula like

y=mx+b

Where m is the rate of change and it has a constant value. More specifically, a proportional relationship is a special case where b=0, meaning that every value of y divided by the corresponding value of x, is constant.

The situation described in the question says a bathtub is being filled at a rate of 4 liters per minute. It means that every minute, 4 liters are constantly being added to the existing quantity. This is a constant rate of change, so the correct answer is

"Yes, this is a linear function because the rate of change is constant"

What is the value of 5n-3 when n=5?
joja [24]

Answer:

22

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the expression:—

\displaystyle \large{5n-3}

When n = 5, substitute/change n to 5:—

\displaystyle \large{5(5)-3}

Evaluate:—

\displaystyle \large{25-3=\boxed{22}}

__________________________________________________________

<u>Summary</u>

  <u>Substitution</u>

Changing or replacing from a term to another terms/expression is called substitution.

Examples:—

If we are given the expression \displaystyle \large{2y-1} and we want to find the value when y = 4, simply replace y-term to 4.

\displaystyle \large{2(4)-1=8-1=\boxed{7}}

A sign in a bakery gives these options: • 12 cupcakes for $29 • 24 cupcakes for $56 • 50 cupcakes for $129 Find each unit price
crimeas [40]

Answer:

a) $2.44 per cupcake

b) $2.33 per cupcake

c) $2.58 per cupcake

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

We have to calculate the unit price of the cupcakes.

Unit price =

=\dfrac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of cupcakes}}

12 cupcakes for $29

Unit price =

=\dfrac{29}{12}=2.43\text{ Dollar per cupcake}

24 cupcakes for $56

Unit price =

=\dfrac{56}{24}=2.33\text{ Dollar per cupcake}

50 cupcakes for $129

Unit price =

=\dfrac{129}{50}=2.58\text{ Dollar per cupcake}

Given v=(6,3) and w=(1,-2), what is the result of v-w
Daniel [21]
Here, v - w would be (6-1, 3-[-2]), or (5, 5).  
I don't believe you need the word "result" here.  At first I thought you'd meant "resultant."  Here you're finding the "difference" v less w.

2. Mourette is a member of her high school golf team. She hits a golf ball
Llana [10]

Answer:

a. h = 60t − 4.9t²

b. 12.2 seconds

c. 183.7 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Given:

y₀ = 0 m

v₀ = 60 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

h = 0 m + (60 m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

h = 60t − 4.9t²

b. When the ball lands, h = 0.

0 = 60t − 4.9t²

0 = t (60 − 4.9t)

t = 0 or 12.2

The ball lands after 12.2 seconds.

c. The maximum height is at the vertex of the parabola.

t = -b / (2a)

t = -60 / (2 × -4.9)

t = 6.1 seconds

Alternatively, the maximum height is reached at half the time it takes to land.

t = 12.2 / 2

t = 6.1 seconds

After 6.1 seconds, the height reached is:

h = 60 (6.1) − 4.9 (6.1)²

h = 183.7 meters
