Assume that the rule connecting height of the candle to time is a linear one. If you do, then we have to find the equation of this line, and then use this equation to predict the height of the candle after 11 hours.
Two points on this line are (6,17.4) and (23, 7.2). The slope is thus
7.2-17.4 -6
m = --------------- = ----------- or -3/5.
23-6 10
Find the equation of the line. I'm going to use the slope-intercept formula:
y = mx + b => 7.2 = (-3/5)(23) + b. Solving for b, b = 21.
Now we know that y = (-3/5)x + 21
Let x=11 to predict the height of the candle at that time.
y = (-3/5)(11) + 21 = 14.4 inches (answer)
Answer:
x ≥ 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there is a closed circle at x = 4, this indicates that x can be equal to 4
The line to the right is shaded indicating values of x greater than 4
Thus x ≥ 4 ← is the inequality represented in the number line
Answer: 5.83 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Sketching the data above,
Length of segment AD can be computed using Pythagoras rule ;
Where segment AD = hypotenuse
Segment AB = 3 = opposite
Sin Θ = opposite / hypotenuse
Sin 31° = 3 / hypotenuse
Hypotenuse × 0.5150380 = 3
Hypotenuse = 3 / 0.5150380
Hypotenuse = 5.8248120 units
Hypotenuse = 5.83 units
The answer to 75 ÷12.5 is 6
