Constant rate means it is linear so we don't have to worry about fluctuation.

change in y/ change in x=-18-(-25.2)/5-8=2.4 meters per second

We have been given that Mr. Mole left his burrow and started digging his way down at a constant rate. The table compares Mr. Mole altitude relative to the ground (in meters) and the time since he left (in minutes).

Mr. Mole's speed will be equal to slope of line passing through the given points.

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Let point (5,-18)=(x_1,y_1) and point (8,-25.2)=(x_2,y_2).

Upon substituting these values in slope formula, we will get:

m=\frac{-25.2-(-18)}{8-5}

m=\frac{-25.2+18}{3}

m=\frac{-7.2}{3}

m=-2.4  

Mr. Mole's altitude is getting more and more negative as he digging down.

Since speed cannot be negative, therefore, Mr. Mole's speed is 2.4 meters per minute.

Find the exponential function that passes through the points (1, 3) and (2, 9). A) y = 12x B) y = 9x C) y = 6x D) y = 3x
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential function which crosses through (1,3) and (2,9) will have a base of 3 since the y values are multiples of 3.

3^1 = 3

3^2 = 9

This means that the function is y = 3^x.

Danny brought a car for £10000 the value of the car depreciated by 20% in the first year then the value of the car depreciated b
Levart [38]

£7200

In first year depreciates by 20%, that is it is worth 80% of it's original value

80% = \frac{80}{100} = 0.8

value after 1 year = 0.8 × £10000 = £8000

In the second year it depreciates by 10% of it's value, that is it is worth 90% of it's value at the end of the first year.

90% = \frac{90}{100} = 0.9

value after 2 years = 0.9 × £8000 = £7200
