Answer:

y = 24 /x

The operations used were: Multiplication and Division

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of students who shared the basket = x

Amount of oranges = y

Some students equally share 2 baskets of oranges. Each basket has 12 oranges.

The total number of oranges in basket = 2 baskets × 12 oranges

= 24 oranges

Therefore, the algebraic expression to represent this situation is written as:

y = 24 /x

The operations used were: Multiplication and Division

What is the polynomial function if the zeros are -2,3,-4
navik [9.2K]
For the above equation and given zeros of polynomial equation we have;

y=(x+2)(x-3)(x+4)
y=(x^2+2x-3x-6)(x+4)
y=(x^2-x-6)(x+4)
y=(x^3-x^2-6x+4x^2-4x-24)
y=x^3+3x^2-10x-24
Therefore our answer is 3

Hope this helps. Any questions please just ask. Thank you.

What fraction of 1 pint is 1 cup
Aleonysh [2.5K]
<span>The answer is that the fraction of 1/2 pint is 1 cup. To solve this you must know the equivalence between pints and cups, and use the notion of proportions. Two cups equal one pint. Then you can state this proportion: 1 pint / 2 cups = x pint / 1 cup. When you solve for x you get: x = 1/2. Which means that 1 cup is 1/2 of 1 pint. </span>

The following graph represents the distance a commercial airplane travels over time, at cruising speed and an altitude of 35,000
ANEK [815]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The picture of the question in the attached figure</em></u>

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{y}{x} or y=kx

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

Let

x ----> the time in hours

y ----> the distance in miles

<em>Find the value of k</em>

For the point (4,2268)

k=\frac{2,268}{4}=567\ mph

The slope represent the speed of the airplane

so

The linear equation is

y=567x

Part 1 :

The point (0,0) represents the starting point of the aircraft, when the time and distance are equal to zero. The cruising starts when time t = 0.

Part 2 :

The  point  (4, 2268) represents the plane after 4 hours of cruise , and shows it has traveled a distance of 2268 miles after 4 hours
