A lake near the Arctic Circle is covered by a 2-meter-thick sheet of ice during the cold winter months. When spring arrives, the warm air gradually melts the ice, causing its thickness to decrease at a constant rate. After 3 weeks, the sheet is only 1.25 meters thick. Let y represent the ice sheet's thickness ( in meters) after x weeks. Complete the equation for the relationship between the thickness and number of weeks.
Answer:
y = 2 - 0.25x
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, the initial thickness of the ice sheet = 2 meters,
After 3 weeks, the thickness of ice sheet reduced to 1.25 meters
Hence, the difference in the thickness in 3 weeks is calculated as:
2m - 1.25m = 0.75m
The amount of changes that occurred in 3 weeks is given as:
= 0.75/3 = 0.25 meters,
We are told that, the ice is melting with the constant rate.
Therefore, the equation for the relationship between the thickness and number of weeks is given as:
y = 2 - 0.25x
rewrite -1 1/3 as a decimal: -1.5
-2.1 - x = -1.5
Subtract -2.1 From both sides:
X = -1.5 - -2.1 = -1.5 + 2.1
X = 0.6
Answer: B. 0.6
40 meters is 12.00 seconds per meter/ 0.08 meters per seconds
Answer:
-12x^2 + 11xy - 2y^2
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3+(-1/3)
2/3-1/3
1/3
Your answer is 1/3
