Y is the amount of food that a manatee eats each day:
the weight is X 
12% or its weight is   X x 12 /100= 12x /100=3x/25
so the equation is y= 3x/25
the dependent variable is y (it depends to the value of x)
and the independent is x

Write the equation that describes the line with slope = 1 and y-intercept= 5/2 in slope-intercept form.
Nonamiya [84]

Answer: y=x+5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

using the slope intercept formula, y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, you can substitute the two values to get y=x+5/2. Please note that the slope, m, is one so it's not shown.

A 100-meter-long christmas train needs 30 seconds to cross a 400-meter-long bridge. assuming the train goes at a steady speed, h
san4es73 [151]
Length of train : 100
length of bridge : 400
distance covered by the train to cross the bridge : (100 + 400) = 500
time taken by the train to cross : 30

speed = distance / time
speed = 500/30
speed = 16.67 meters per second <===

Identify all factors of the expression 4x^2+17x-15
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

d and e

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor 4x² + 17x - 15

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term, that is

product = 4 × - 15 = - 60 and sum = + 17

The factors are + 20 and - 3

Use these factors to split the middle term

4x² + 20x - 3x - 15 ( factor by grouping the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 4x(x + 5) - 3(x + 5) ( take out the common factor (x + 5) )

= (x + 5)(4x - 3) → d/e
