9514 1404 393

Answer:

  25 (ft/s)

Step-by-step explanation:

The "rate of change" is taken to mean the "rise" divided by the "run". Here, adjacent points differ in their y-value by 25 ft and their x-value by 1 second.

The rate of change is ...

  rise/run = (25 ft)/(1 second) = 25 ft/second

Usually, we're just interested in the numerical value: 25.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The graph is mis-labeled. It is not showing "rate of ascent." It is showing height as a function of time. The "rate of ascent" is the <em>slope</em> of the line on the graph, not its <em>value</em>.

Gelneren [198K]

The elevations of four points below sea level are -47 feet, -24 feet, -8 feet, and -18 feet.

The elevation of the point closest to sea level is feet

-8 ft

elevation of the point farthest from sea level is feet.

-47 ft

closet to sea level to farthest to sea level

-8ft , -18ft , -24ft , -47ft

The junior and senior students at Mathville High School are going to present an exciting musical entitled, "Math, What is it Goo
xeze [42]

Some parts are missing in the queston. Find attached the picture with the complete question

Answer:

                   \large\boxed{\large\boxed{161}}

Explanation:

Let's put the information in a table step-by step.

                                                (number of remaining students)

                                                        Juniors          Seniors

Condition

  • Initially                                           J                     S
  • 15 seniors left                                                   S - 15
  • Twice juniors as seniors         2(S - 15)
  • 3/4 of the juniors left              1/4×2(S - 15)
  • 1/3 of seniors left                                             2/3×(S - 15)

At the end, there were 8 more seniors than juniors:

  • 2/3×(S - 15) -  1/4×2(S - 15) = 8

Now you have obtained one equation, which you can solve to find S, the number of senior students, and then the number of junior students.

Solve the equation:

2/3\times (S - 15) -  1/4\times 2(S - 15) = 8

  • Mutilply all by 12:

8(S - 15)-6(S - 15)=96

  • Distribution property:

8S-120-6S-90=96

  • Addtion property of equalities:

8S-6S=96+120+90

  • Add like terms:

2S=306

  • Division property of equalities:

S=306/2=153

That is the number of senior students that came out to the information meeting, but the number of students remaining to perform in the school musical is (from the table above):

2/3\times (S-15)+1/4\times 2(S-15)

Just substitute S with 153 fo find the number of students that remained to perfom in the musical:

          2/3\times (153-15)+1/4\times 2(153-15)\\ \\ 2/3(138)+1/2(138)

The slope of the line whose equation is 3x - 2y = 4 is 2/3 3/2 -2
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation 3x-2y=4 can be written in the form of y=mx+c where m is the slope and c is the y intercept.

Therefore

2y=3x-4 and dividing both sides by 2 to have y at the LHS

y=3/2x-2

Therefore, 3/2 represents the gradient/slope

Solve equation for 5x-14=8x+4
creativ13 [48]
My answer-

Simplifying 5x + -14 = 8x + 4
 
Reorder the terms: -14 + 5x = 8x + 4 Reorder the terms: -14 + 5x = 4 + 8x
 
Solving -14 + 5x = 4 + 8x Solving for variable 'x'.


Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-8x' to each side of the equation. -14 + 5x + -8x = 4 + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 5x + -8x = -3x -14 + -3x = 4 + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0 -14 + -3x = 4 + 0 -14 + -3x = 4 Add '14' to

 each side of the equation. -14 + 14 + -3x = 4 + 14

Combine like terms: -14 + 14 = 0 0 + -3x = 4 + 14 -3x = 4 + 14

 Combine like terms: 4 + 14 = 18 -3x = 18 <span>

Divide each side by '-3'. x = -6

Simplifying x = -6


If you need anything else on brainly let me know :)</span>
