Which of the following represents the graph of the equation y = 1/2x?

Mathematics

Natasha_Volkova [10]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

(B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's what we know about the equation:

- it's a positive equation

- the y-intercept is (0,0)

- the slope is 1/2

Because the equation is positive, this means the graph will increase up from left to right, so you can cross out answer choice A & D.

To find out if B or C has the right slope, you can either plug in points or use the rise/run method.

I'm going to use both methods to figure out which answer choice is correct:

<u>Plug in points method:</u>

Let's plug in the value 2 in to the equation y = 1/2x.

1/2 * 2 = 1

So at (1,2) the function should include that point.

Only B has (1,2), so that's your answer.

<u>Rise/run method:</u>

Rise/run is a method used to figure out the slope of a function or draw a function on a graph.

Rise corresponds to the numerator. In this case, 1.

Run corresponds to the denominator. In this case, 2.

We are going to start at (0,0) and go up 1 (rising 1 unit) and go 2 to the right (running 2 units). After this, we should arrive at a point on the graph.

Only answer choice B does this.

**Reminder: be careful, the each blue line on the graph ISN'T a whole number interval; it uses 1/2 intervals.

Hope that helps (●'◡'●)

1. A water wheel rung’s height as a function of time can be modeled by the equation:
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

<em>-1</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. A water wheel rung’s height as a function of time can be modeled by the equation:

h - 8 = -9 sin6t

(b) Determine the maximum height above the water for a rung.

Given the rung's height modeled by the equation;

h - 8 = -9 sin6t

h(t) = -9sin6t + 8

At maximum height, the velocity of the rung is zero;

dh/dt = 0

dh/dt = -54cos6t

-54cos6t = 0

cos6t = 0/-54

cos6t = 0

6t = cos^-1(0)

6t = 90

t = 90/6

t= 15

Substitute t = 15 into the expression to get the maximum height;

Recall:

h(t) = -9sin6t + 8

h(15) = -9sin6(15) + 8

h(15) = -9sin90 + 8

h(15) = -9(1)+8

h(15) = -9+8

<em>h(15) = -1</em>

<em>hence the maximum height above the water is -1</em>

Find the values of x and y for the isosceles trapezoid
butalik [34]
<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • x = 15
  • y = 3
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

If the trapezoid is isosceles, angles A and C are supplementary, so ...

... (4x+4) +(7x+11) = 180

... 11x +15 = 180 . . . . . . collect terms

... 11x = 165 . . . . . . . . . subtract 15

... x = 15 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

And angles C and E are congruent.

... 4·15 +4 = 21y +1

... 63 = 21y . . . . . subtract 1

... 3 = y . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of y
