Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's analyze each case.

case A) $y=3x$

This equation represent a direct variation and the relationship shown in the scatter plot does not passes through the origin

therefore

The equation case A) could not represent the relationship shown in the scatter plot

case B) $y=\frac{5}{2}x-1$

The y-intercept of this equation is equal to $-1$ and the relationship shown in the scatter plot does not have points with negative y-coordinates

therefore

The equation case B) could not represent the relationship shown in the scatter plot

case C) $y=\frac{1}{2}x+7$

The y-intercept of this equation is equal to $7$ and the relationship shown in the scatter plot has points with nearest coordinates

therefore

The equation case C) could represent the relationship shown in the scatter plot

case D) $y=-x+8$

This equation has a slope negative and the relationship shown in the scatter plot has a positive slope

therefore

The equation case D) could not represent the relationship shown in the scatter plot

From the scatter plot, the equation that could represent the relationship shown is y = 1/2x + 7.

* The nth term of sequence A is 3n − 2 The nth term of sequence B is 10 − 2n Sally says there is only one number that is in both

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Sally is not right

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two sequences which have their respective $n^{th}$ terms as following:

Sequence A. $3n - 2$

Sequence B. $10 - 2n$

As per Sally, there exists only one number which is in both the sequences.

To find:

Whether Sally is correct or not.

Solution:

For Sally to be correct, we need to put the $n^{th}$ terms of the respective sequences as equal and let us verify that.

$3n-2=10-2n\\\Rightarrow 3n+2n=10+2\\\Rightarrow 5n=12\\\Rightarrow n = \dfrac{12}{5}$

When we talk about $n^{th}$ terms, $n$ here is a whole number not a fractional number.

But as per the statement as stated by Sally $n$ is a fractional number, only then the two sequences can have a number which is in the both sequences.

Therefore, no number can be in both the sequences A and B.

Hence, Sally is not right.

15. A restaurant has one type of milk that has 2% fat and another that has 7% fat. how many quarts of each type does the restaur

krek1111 [17]

B. 16 quarts of the 2% milk and 24 quarts of the 7% milk First, let's create an equation to solve. x = quarts of 2% milk (40-x) = quarts of 7% milk So we have the equation x*2 + (40-x)*7 = 40*5 Now to solve for x x*2 + (40-x)*7 = 40*5 x*2 + 7*40 - 7*x = 40*5 x*2 - 7*x = 40*5 - 7*40 -5*x = - 2*40 x = 2*8 x = 16 So we need 16 quarts of 2% milk and 40-16 = 24 quarts of 7%, which matches option "B".

Alla [95]

The problem says that the distance D to the horizon is directly proportional to the square root of the elevation E of the observer, so:

The person who is 36 feet above the water ⇒ √36=6

A person 49 feet above the water ⇒ √49=7

So, by proportions, you have:

(7/6)x7.4= 8.63 miles

Therefore, the answer is: a person 49 feet above the water can see 8.63 miles
