A ceramic artist can shape a pot in 3 minutes. It takes 10 minutes to fire one batch of pots in the kiln. If there are p pots in

a batch, which expression represents the time it takes to shape and fire one batch of pots? How long will it take the potter to form and fire a batch of 10 pots? A.The expression is 3p. It takes 30 minutes to shape and fire 10 pots.
B.The expression is 3p − 10. It takes 20 minutes to shape and fire 10 pots.

C.The expression is 3(p + 10). It takes 60 minutes to shape and fire 10 pots.

D.The expression is 3p + 10. It takes 40 minutes to shape and fire 10 pots.

3p to shape and 10 minutes to fire
= 3p + 10
3x10 + 10 = 40 minutes for a batch of 10 pots
therefore D is the correct answer

Answer:

D. The expression is 3p+10. It takes 40 minutes to shape and fire 10 pots.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pots in a batch = p

Now, one pot takes 3 minutes to get in a shape.

Then, 'p' pots will take 3p minutes to get in a shape.

Also, it takes 10 minutes to fire one batch of pots.

Thus, the expression for the time taken to form one batch of pots = 3p+10

So, when number of pots = 10 i.e. p= 10.

Time taken to fire the pots = 3\times 10+10 = 30+10 = 40

That is, 'It takes 40 minutes to shape and fire 10 pots'.

Thus, option D is correct.

Graph the line and the parabola and find the points of intersection: y= 3-x ; y=x(squared)+x-12
melomori [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to graph a line y = 3 - x which has the slope = -1 and y intercept 3.

We will select two points where line intersects at x = 0 and y = 0

The given line will intersect x-axis at (3, 0) and at y- axis (0, 3).

Joining these two points we can draw a straight line showing y = -x + 3

Now we will draw the parabola given by equation y = x² + x - 12

We will convert this equation in vertex form first to get the vertex and line of symmetry.

Standard equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = (x - h)² + k

Where (h, k) is the vertex and x = h is the line of symmetry.

y = x² + x - 12

y = x² + 2(0.5)x + (0.5)²- (0.5)²-12

y = (x + 0.5)² - 12.25

Therefore, vertex will be (-0.5, -12.25) and line of symmetry will be x = 0.5

For x intercept,

0 = (x + 0.5)² - 12.25

x + 0.5 = ±√12.25

x = -0.5 ± 3.5

x = -4, 3

For y- intercept,

y = (0+0.5)² - 12.25

 = 0.25 - 12.25

y = -12

So the parabola has vertex (-0.5, - 12.25), line of symmetry x = 0.5, x intercept (4, 0), (and y-intercept (0, -12).

Now we have to find the points of intersection of the given line and parabola.

For this we will replace the values of y

3 - x = x² + x - 12

x² + 2x - 15 = 0

x² + 5x - 3x - 15 = 0

x(x + 5) - 3(x + 5) = 0

(x - 3)(x + 5) = 0

x = 3, -5

For x = 3

y = 3- 3 = 0

For x = -5

y = 3 + 5 = 8

Therefore, points of intersection will be (3, 0) and (-5, 8)
