NOTE: I have made this explaination long so that you understand it as some people view my answers too short or without enough info. feedback would be nice.

If The growth is directly proportional this means that the graph will be linear.

For simplicity and since the question does not specify, we will make one time unit one week.

Our base function is "F(t) = mt + b"  with F(t) being the length of nail with respect to time.
[This is just mx + b]

so F(t)  = mt + b

We will assume that when t = 0, we have 3mm of nail. So...

F(0)  = 3
3  = m(0) + b
b = 3

F(t)  = mt + 3
To find slope we can sub when F(t) is 1

F(1)  = 3.5
3.5  = m + 3
m = 0.5 = \frac{1}{2}

Our Equation is:

"F(t)  = \frac{1}{2} t + 3

Use a graphing calculator, an online grapher, or pen and paper for your graph.

Brainest answer is appreciated.

How would you combine like terms with exponents? Do you add the exponents?
choli [55]

Answer: When you combine like terms in a algebraic expression, you do not add the exponents! When you combine like terms in an equation, such as a^2 and 4a^2, you only combine the numbers, not the exponents. The exponent attached to the number stays the same. a^2 and 4a^2 would be 5a^2.

A right triangle has a side with length 12 in and a hypotenuse with length 20 in. find the length of the missing leg. (round to
OLEGan [10]
Let the unknown side be "z" inches
Through pythagoras:
{12}^{2}  +  {z}^{2}  =  {20}^{2}
Because the square of the two sides add up to the square of the hypotenuse in a right triangle.

This means that
{z }^{2}  = {20}^{2}  -  {12}^{2}
{z}^{2}  = 400 - 144 = 256
z =  \sqrt{256}  = 16
So the missing side is 16 inches

Hope this helped

A 1-mile hiking path has signs placed every 240 feet.there are signs placed at the beginning and end of the mile.how many signs
Fed [463]

Answer: 23


Step-by-step explanation:

1 mile = 5280 feet

So,

There are 5280/240 = 22  240 ft. in 1 mile


So, there will be 22 signs in that 1 mile road. Notice that when we divide 5280 by 240 we get an integer. So, we can say that the sign placed at the end of the mile is included in that 22. Now, all we need to do is add one sign that is at the start of the mile. Therefore, the toal signs is 23
