In this context, you would be making a equation using the format: y=mx+b

M being your rate of change

X being the month

B being the starting number

Beverly is LOSING 4 pounds a month, so she would be decreasing by 4, or in other words, -4. That would be your M value

Beverly starts at 160, so that would be your B value

Your equation would look like this:

y= -4x+160

Your answer would be B. y = -4x +160

A) is not the answer because you can't be -160 pounds

C) is not the answer because the 1 is not part of the text.

D) is not the answer because 160 has to be used in the equation in order for it to make sense, you don't start at 0 pounds.

The answer is B) or y = -4x + 160


If her initial weight is 160 pounds, then you must subtract 4x, representing how much weight she lost over time, to find her current weight y


But, since y = 160 – 4x isn't an option, we can reverse to negatives as long as you change the addition/subtraction sign


So, subtracting positive 4x is the same as adding -4x


Therefore, y = 160 – 4x is the same as y = -4x + 160

Which of the following is NOT a variation of a Pythagorean identity?​
Ipatiy [6.2K]

The expression that is not a variation of the Pythagorean identity is the third option.

<h3>What is the Pythagorean identity?</h3>

The Pythagorean identity can be written as:

sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1

For example, if we subtract cos^2(x) on both sides we get the second option:

sin^2(x) = 1 - cos^2(x)

Which is a variation.

Now, let's divide both sides by cos^2(x).

sin^2(x)/cos^2(x) + cos^2(x)/cos^2(x) = 1/cos^2(x)\\\\tan^2(x) + 1 = sec^2(x)\\\\tan^2(x) - sec^2(x) = -1

Notice that the third expression in the options looks like this one, but the one on the right side is positive. The above expression is in did a variation of the Pythagorean identity, then the one written in the options (with the 1 instead of the -1) is incorrect, meaning that it is not a variation of the Pythagorean identity.

Concluding, the correct option is the third one.

Given a soda can with a volume of 15 and a diameter of 2, what is the volume of a cone that fits perfectly inside the soda can?
Naddika [18.5K]
Check the picture below.

so, a cone, that fits inside the cylinder, will have the same height "h" and radius "r".  Thus


\bf \textit{volume of a cylinder}\\\\&#10;V=\pi r^2 h\qquad \boxed{\pi r^2 h}=15&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{volume of a cone}\\\\&#10;V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}\implies V=\cfrac{\boxed{15}}{3}

Please help ASAP I am in desperate need
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

x = 9

TH = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

since TM is half of HM, the equation is:

2(21 - x) = 3x - 3

42 - 2x = 3x - 3

45 = 5x

x = 9

TH = 21 - x

TH = 21 - 9

TH = 12
