Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The factor outside parentheses multiplies each term inside.

5/2(-8/5 +7/5)

= (5/2)(-8/5) +(5/2)(7/5)

= -8/2 +7/2 = -1/2

First question.

We will build up the 3-dimensional object from the dimensions shown in the view above. In doing this, the object is as shown in figure 1. So, we need to find the volume of this object. Let's cut off this object into two objects, so in doing this we can find the whole volume as the sum of the volume in green plus the volume in red (both are cubes), so:

$V_{t} = V_{g}+V_{r} = 8 \times 3 \times 5 + 8 \times 5 \times 8 = 440 ft^{3}$

So the answer is G.

Second question

The answer is D. Let's analyze it:

Given that r represents the radius of the pizza and n the number of slices, so if we substitute r in this equation, then the values for n are:

$n = r^{2}+1$

$n=2^{2}+1=5$
$n=4^{2}+1=17$
$n=5^{2}+1=16$
$n=8^{2}+1=65$
$n=10^{2}+1=101$

These are the values of n shown in the table above.

Find an equation of the line in the form whose x-intercept is 15 and y-intercept is 3, where a, b, and c are integers with n

madreJ [45]

x-intercept = (15, 0) y-intercept = (0, 3)

slope (m) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (0 - 3)/(15 - 0) = -3/15 = -1/5

Point-Slope formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) ; where (x₁, y₁) is one of the given points

y - 0 = (-1/5)(x - 15)

-5y = x - 15

x + 5y = 15

Answer: x + 5y = 15

The equation $x=tan^{-1}(\frac{12}{5})$ can be used to find the measure of ∠BAC ⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the trigonometry ratios in the right triangle ABC, where B is the right angle, AC is the hypotenuse, AB and BC are the legs of the triangle

The trigonometry ratios of the ∠BAC, the opposite side to this angle is BC and the adjacent side to it is AB are
