A car traveled 180 miles at a constant rate. Write an equation that would

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

180/t = r

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we would have to write an equation that represents the scenario given.

We know that the car traveled 180 miles at a constant rate.

We would use the y = mx + b format for the equation, but replacing the variables with "r" and "t"

We know that 180 will be our y-variable, since that would be the base of the equation:

180 = ???

And to find how long/fast it will take the car, we would need to multiply the rate of speed "r" and time "t" in order to get our distance.

Plug it into the equation:

180 = rt

With this set up, you can find the rate of speed of the car when you know the time.

You would simply solve it as:

180/t = r

One month Miguel rented 12 movies and 2 video games for a total of $41. The next month he rented 3 movies and 5 video games for

inn [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

U should use the system of 2 equations.

Let x be the rental cost of a movie and let y be that of video games.

{12x + 2y= 41} eq1

{3x + 5y= 35}eq2 note: eq means equation

The answer is

X=2.5 Y=5.5

So, the rental cost for each movie is 2.5$

and for each video game is 5.5$

A population of caribou in a forest grows at a rate of 6% every year. If there are currently 258 caribou, which function represe

Dimas [21]

Answer:

P(t) = 258( 1 + 6%)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the population of caribou in a forest grows at a rate of 6% every year. If there are currently 258 caribou, the function representing the number of caribou in the forest in t years will be

P(t) = 258( 1 + 6%)^t

Since it is increasing, it will be 1 + 6%

Where P(t) is the function representing the population after t years.

258 is the current or initial population.

Find the solution(s) to 22 +57-3 = 0. Check all that apply.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

x = -3 and x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solutions to

2x² + 5x - 3 = 0

we can use the quadratic formula, as follows:

$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2- 4(a)(c)}}{2(a)}$

$x = \frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{5^2- 4(2)(-3)}}{2(2)}$

$x = \frac{-5 \pm 7}{4}$

$x_1 = \frac{-5 + 7}{4}$

$x_1 = 0.5$

$x_2 = \frac{-5 - 7}{4}$

$x_2 = -3$

Classify the sequence arithmetic , geometric, or neither

Feliz [49]

Answer:

Geometric

Step-by-step explanation:

Given terms are {3, -1, 1/3, -1/9............}

If we have common difference between the terms then it is arithmetic

If we have common ratio between the terms then it is Geometric

Difference of 3 and -1 is 4

Difference of 1/3 and -1 is -4/3

Common difference it not same so it is not Arithmetic

Now we check common ratio

we divide second term by first term

first term is 3 and second term is -1

$\frac{-1}{3}$

now we check with next two terms

$\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{-1}=\frac{-1}{3}$

common ratio is -1/3

So this is Geometric
