If you want to solve the equation
for C, you can work like this: subtract P from both sides:
Add C to both sides:
Answer:
y = -2x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming this is linear, the slope would be constant. For every 1 x, y decreases by 2. This means that the slope is -2.
y = -2x + b
Now all we need is the y-intercept.
If we plug in the first point (1,3), we get:
3 = -2*1+b
3 = -2+b
b = 5
This is the y-intercept.
y = -2x + 5
Answer:
The average rate of change in that space would be 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find this, use the two ordered pairs (-1, 3) and (1, 27) in the slope formula.
m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (27 - 3)/(1 - -1)
m = 24/2
m = 12
This one is best done by elimination:
We need to start 4 meters away, so B is clearly wrong.
We first move towards Mr. Wilson (i.e. distance is decreasing) so A is wrong.
Our speed is faster on the way back, so the two sloped section must have differing slopes, so D is wrong.
(D also doesn't start at 4, it's wrong for two reasons.)
Only C is left.
We can check each part to make sure. First we start at 4m, then move away, then stay still (zero slope) for three seconds, then move back faster (higher slope). All parts check out ok.
Answer: 40,320
Step-by-step explanation: Let's say that there is person A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H. and 8 chairs. For the first chair, 8 different people could potentially sit in it, making 8 different possibilities. No matter who sits there, the logic follows the next table. However, since one person is sitting in the first chair, there are 7 different possibilities about who would be sitting in the second chair. If you multiply the two together, there are 56 different possibilities just for the first and second chair. For the third chair, there are 6 different possibilities about whom could sit. Multiply 56*6 and you get 336 possibilities. Keep multiplying out and you get a grand total of 40,320 different arrangements!
