Find the slope of the line.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lynna [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The slope is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x_1,y_1) = (2,9)

(x_2,y_2) = (-1,3)

Required

The slope (m)

This is calculated as:

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

m = \frac{3 - 9}{-1 - 2}

m = \frac{- 6}{-3}

m =2

Find the diameter of a circle with an area of 95.03 square feet
Leona [35]

Answer:

diameter ≈ 11 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a circle is calculated using the formula

A = πr² ← r is the radius

To find r divide both sides of the equation by π

r² = \frac{A}{\pi } = \frac{95.03}{\pi }

Take the square root of both sides

r = \sqrt{\frac{95.03}{\pi } } ≈ 5.5 feet

Diameter = 2r = 2 × 5.5 = 11 feet

The minimum/maximum value of the function y = a(x − 2)(x − 1) occurs at x = d, what is the value of d?
daser333 [38]

Answer:

d=\frac{3}{2}=1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function:

y=a(x-2)(x-1)

And we want to find x=d for which the minimum/maximum value will occur.

Notice that our function is a quadratic in factored form.

Remember that the minimum/maximum value always occurs at the vertex point.

And remember that the x-coordinate of the vertex is the axis of symmetry.

Since a quadratic is always symmetrical on both sides of its axis of symmetry, a quadratic’s axis of symmetry is the average of the two roots/zeros of the quadratic.

Therefore, the value x=d such that it produces the minimum/maximum value is the average of the two roots.

Our factors are <em>(x-2) </em>and <em>(x-1)</em>.

Therefore, our roots/zeros are <em>x=1, 2</em>.

So, the average of them are:

d=\frac{1+2}{2}=3/2=1.5

Therefore, regardless of the value of <em>a</em>, the minimum/maximum value will occur at <em>x=d=1.5</em>.

Alternative Method:

Of course, we can also expand to confirm our answer. So:

y=a(x^2-2x-x+2)\\y=a(x^2-3x+2)\\y=ax^2-3ax+2a

The x-coordinate of the vertex is still going to be the place where the minimum/maximum is going to occur.

And the formula for the vertex is:

x=-\frac{b}{2a}

So, we will substitute <em>-3a</em> for <em>b</em> and <em>a</em> for <em>a</em>. This yields:

x=-\frac{-3a}{2a}=\frac{3}{2}=1.5

Confirming our answer.

Carly's family traveled 3/10 of the distance to her grandmother's house on Saturday. They traveled 3/7 of the remaining distance
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

3/10 of the total distance to her grandmother's house was traveled on Sunday

Step-by-step explanation:

Carly's family traveled distance of Saturday = \frac{3}{10}

Remaining distance =1-\frac{3}{10}=\frac{7}{10}

They traveled 3/7 of the remaining distance on Sunday.

So, Distance traveled on Sunday =\frac{3}{7}(\frac{7}{10})

Distance traveled on Sunday =\frac{3}{10}

Fraction of the total distance to her grandmother's house was traveled on Sunday =\frac{3}{10}

Hence 3/10 of the total distance to her grandmother's house was traveled on Sunday
