Answer:

2.25 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 2 cm represents 0.5 km on the ground we cross multiply to find how much ground will be represented by 9 cm on the map

2cm=0.5km

9cm=?

(9cm×0.5km)÷2cm

4.5km(cm)÷2cm
2.25 km

NOTE: since the cm are the same they will cancel each other out in the division stage

An employer uses the linear regression equation y = 0.18 x + 320.22 to predict the weekly salary, y, of an employee who sells x

Nata [24]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Alex earned about $60 more than Joaquin did.

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear regression equation

y = 0.18 x + 320.22

is used to predict the weekly salary, y, of an employee who sells x dollars worth of merchandise.

Joaquin sold $1500 worth of goods. Meaning that x for that week for Joaquin is 1500.

Joaquin' s salary for that week is then given as

y = 0.18x + 320.22

y = 0.18(1500) + 320.22 = 590.22

Hence, Joaquin's salary for that week = $590.22

Alex earns $650 that week. Meaning that y for Alex in that week = 650

y = 0.18x + 320.22

650 = 0.18x + 320.22

0.18x = 650 - 320.22 = 329.78

x = (329.78/0.18) = 1832.1

Hence, Alex sold goods worth $1832.1 that week.

Joaquin sold goods worth $1500

Joaquin earned $590.22

Alex sold goods worth $1832.1

Alex earned $650

From this calculation, it is evident that 'Alex earned about $60 more than Joaquin did' is the correct option as $650 is about $60 more than $590.22

Hope this Helps!!!

An arithmetic sequence with a thrid term of 8 and constant difference of 5

olga nikolaevna [1]

$\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
d=\textit{common difference}\\
----------\\
d=5\\
a_3=8\\
n=3
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
a_3=a_1+(3-1)5\implies 8=a_1+(2)5\implies 8=a_1+10
\\\\\\
\boxed{-2=a_1}
\\\\\\
a_n=-2+(n-1)5$

Determine if (-2,6) and (4,12) are solutions to the system of equations:

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Both $(-2,6)$ and $(4,12)$ are solutions to the system.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine whether the two given points represent solutions to our system of equations, we must "plug" thos points into both equations and check that the equality remains valid.

Step 1: Plug $(-2,6)$ into $y=x+8$

$(6) = (-2)+8 = 6$

The solution verifies the equation.

Step 2: Plug $(-2,6)$ into $2y=x^2 + 8$

$2(6) = (-2)^2+8=4+8=12$

The solution verifies both equations. Therefore, $(-2,6)$ is a solution to this system.

Now we must check if the second point is also valid.

Step 3: Plug $(4,12)$ into $y=x+8$

$(12) = (4)+8 = 12$

Step 4: Plug $(4,12)$ into $2y=x^2 + 8$

$2(12) = (4)^2+8=16+8=24$

The solution verifies both equations. Therefore, $(4,12)$ is another solution to this system.

I NEED HELP ASAP!!!!

dedylja [7]

Answer:

B) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles MNC and RSC are similar because all 3 angles are the same, so the the ratio between each side should be the same.

If NC=12 and SC=6 then triangle MNC is scaled up by 2 from triangle RSC. This means each side of MNC is 2 times bigger than on RSC. So, sense RS=4, we can multiply that by 2 to get MN=8.
