The formula for weight in linear function is y= 7.7x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The weight of the born baby = 7 lbs
The weight of the baby at 10 years = 84 lbs.

To find the linear function, the rate of change of weight must be calculated.

To find the rate of change of the baby's weight:

The change in the weight is from 7 lbs to 84 lbs.

The total change = 84 - 7 =77
The rate of change = 77 / 10 years = 7.7

Therefore, the rate of change of weight of the baby is 7.7 lbs.

This means that, every year the weight has been increased by 7.7 lbs and in 10 years the baby gained a weight of 84 lbs.

From this information, the linear function is given as :

Total weight = 7.7(number of years) + born weight.

⇒ y= 7.7x + 7

where,

The born weight is 7 lbs.
y is the total weight of the baby
x is the number of years

Convert the rectangular equation to polar form.

N76 [4]

To convert from rectangular coordinate (x, y) to polar coordinate (r, θ).
r is given by the square root of the sum of the squares of the rectangular coordinate.
$r= \sqrt{x^2+y^2}$
and θ is given by the arctan of the ratio of y to x.
$\theta=\tan^{-1} \frac{y}{x}$
Example:
To convert rectangular coordinate (3, 4) to polar coordinate
$r= \sqrt{3^2+4^2} = \sqrt{9+16} = \sqrt{25} =5 \\ \theta=\tan^{-1}( \frac{4}{3}) =53.13^o$
Therefore, rectangular coordinate (3, 4) = polar coordinate (5, 53.13°)

Explain an example of how taking an amount (for example, $20), decreasing it by 40% and then increasing that amount by 40% does

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

What we can do is try it out.

20*0.6=12

since 0.6 is left

now we increase 12 by 40, or multiply it by 1.4

12*1.4= 16.8

See what is happening here is that at first when we are decreasing it by 40 percent, we are taking 40 percent of 20. However, when we increase that amount by 40 percent, we are now increasing 40 percent of 20 by 40 percent, or increasing 16 by 40 percent. Therefore, we will not get the original amount.
