Marrrta [24]3 years ago

Answer:

A. d = 20h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount in dollars=d

Let the number of hours =h

Since the amount(d) Troy charges to mow the lawn is proportional to the time(h) it takes him to mow the lawn.

d=kh (k a variation constant)

Troy charges $30 to mow a lawn that took him 1.5 hours to mow.

d=$30, h=1.5 hrs

Substitution into the equation above gives:

30=k1.5

k=30/1.5=20

Substituting k=20 into the variation equation, we have:

d=20h

Given the following exponential function, identify whether the change represents
Nookie1986 [14]

The percentage rate of increase is 36.2% and the exponential function represent the growth.

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

It is defined as the function that rapidly increases and the value of the exponential function is always a positive. It denotes with exponent \rm y = a^x

where 'a' is a constant and a>1

We have exponential function:

\rm y = 8900(1.362)^x

If we compare with

\rm y =a(1+r)^x

If 1+r > 1

1.362 > 1

So the growth rate r is

1 + r = 1.362

r = 0.362

r = 0.362×100

r = 36.2%

Thus, the percentage rate of increase is 36.2% and the exponential function represent the growth.

Find the equations of the tangents to the curve y = x²-x-12 at each of the points where the curve crosses the x-axis.​
poizon [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the zeroes of the parabola

{x}^{2}  - x - 12

{x}^{2}  - 4x + 3x - 12

x(x  - 4) + 3(x - 4)

(x +  3)(x  - 4) = 0

x =  - 3

x - 4 = 0

x = 4

So the zeroes or where the curve crosses the x axis is at 4 and -3.

Now, we take the derivative of the function.

\frac{d}{dx} ( {x}^{2}  - x - 12) = 2x - 1

Plug in -3, and 4 into the derivative function

2( - 3) =  - 7

2(4) - 1 = 7

So at x=-3, our slope of the tangent line is -7 and must pass through (-3,0). So we use point slope formula.

y - y _{1} = m(x - x _{1})

y - 0 =  - 7(x - (  - 3)

y =  - 7x - 21

At x=4, our slope of tangent line is 7, and pass through (4,0) so

y - 0 = 7(x - 4)

y = 7x - 28

So the equations of tangent is

y =  - 7x - 21

y = 7x - 28

Ming throws a stone off a bridge into a river below. The stone's height (in meters above the water), xxx seconds after Ming thre
Kitty [74]

Answer:

45 m

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given</h3>

<u>Function to produce the stone's height</u>

  • h(x)= -5(x-1)^2+45

Maximum value the given function can get is at (x - 1) = 0 ⇒ x = 1

because the  -5(x - 1)² can get maximum  value of zero as the square of any number is zero or positive

<u>So maximum height is </u>

  • h(-1) = 45 m

What is the slope of the line 4x – 2y = 10? Explain your process (show your steps) for determining the slope.​
Leni [432]
Solve for y.
subtract 4x from both sides
-2y = -4x + 10
divide everything by -2
y = 2x - 5
slope intercept form is y = mx + b, with m being the slope, so 2 is your slope

The figure is an isosceles trapezoid. How many lines of reflectional symmetry does the trapezoid have?
Natalija [7]

Reflectional symmetry is the mirror image of one side of image to the other when we divide the image. In other words it is one half of image is the reflection of other half of image.

In isosceles trapezoid, the length of the sides are same . the bases are not same.

When we draw a vertical line in the middle of  isosceles trapezoid, the left side of the image is the reflection of right side .

So there is only one line of reflection symmetry.
