Assume that the rule connecting height of the candle to time is a linear one. If you do, then we have to find the equation of this line, and then use this equation to predict the height of the candle after 11 hours.
Two points on this line are (6,17.4) and (23, 7.2). The slope is thus
7.2-17.4 -6
m = --------------- = ----------- or -3/5.
23-6 10
Find the equation of the line. I'm going to use the slope-intercept formula:
y = mx + b => 7.2 = (-3/5)(23) + b. Solving for b, b = 21.
Now we know that y = (-3/5)x + 21
Let x=11 to predict the height of the candle at that time.
y = (-3/5)(11) + 21 = 14.4 inches (answer)
Hey there!
Since it's 30n, 30 is the coefficient and it's being multiplied by n.
We plug in n.
30(2) =
60
Hope this helps!
Answer:
8.5 in
Step-by-step explanation:
You are solving for the hypotenuse right? So you would use this formula:
c = square root a^2+b^2
the c is the hypotenuse (long side of a right triangle) and a will be 4 and b will be 7.5. substitute the numbers in, solve, and you get 8.5 inches!
x = square root 4^2 + 7.5^2
x = square root 16 + 56.25
x = square root 72.25
x = 8.5 inches
