This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A student bought a smart-watch that tracks the number of steps she walks throughout the day. The table shows the number of steps recorded (t) minutes after 3:00 pm on the first day she wore the watch.

t (min)       0          10          20         30         40

Steps   3,288    4,659    5,522    6,686    7,128

a) Find the slopes of the secant lines corresponding to the given intervals of t.

1) [ 0, 40 ]

11) [ 10, 20 ]

111) [ 20, 30 ]

b) Estimate the student's walking pace, in steps per minute, at 3:20 pm by averaging the slopes of two secant lines from part (a). (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)

Answer:

a)

1) for [ 0, 40 ], slope is 96

11) for [ 10, 20 ],  slope is 86.3

111) for  [ 20, 30 ], slope is 116.4

b) the student's walking pace is 101 per min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

t (min)       0          10          20         30         40

Steps   3,288    4,659    5,522    6,686    7,128

SLOPE OF SECANT LINES

1) [ 0, 40 ]

slope =  ( 7,128 - 3,288 ) / ( 40 - 0

= 3840 / 40 = 96

Hence slope is 96

11)  [ 10, 20 ]

slope = ( 5,522 - 4,659 ) / ( 20 - 10 )

= 863 / 10 = 86.3

Hence slope is 86.3

111)  [ 20, 30 ]

slope = ( 6,686 - 5,522 ) / ( 30 - 20 )

= 1164 / 10 = 116.4

Hence slope is 116.4

b)

Estimate the student's walking pace, in steps per minute, at 3:20 pm by averaging the slopes of two secant lines from part .

Since this is recorded after 3:00 pm

{ 3:20 - 3:00 = 20 }

so t = 20 min

so by average;

we have ( [ 10, 20 ] + [ 20, 30 ] ) /2

⇒ ( 86.3 + 116.4 ) / 2

= 202.7 /2

= 101.35 ≈ 101

Therefore, the student's walking pace is 101 per minutes

A square rug covers 79 square feet of floor. What is the approximate length of one side of the rug? (Approximate to the nearest
Degger [83]

Answer:

  8.89 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The square of the side length is 79 ft², so the side length is the square root of that:

  √(79 ft²) ≈ 8.88819 ft ≈ 8.89 ft

Determine the coordinates of the point $P$ on the line $y=-x+6$ such that $P$ is equidistant from the points $A(10,-10)$ and $O(
lidiya [134]

Answer:

P=(3,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find a point  P in the line y=-x+6 such that PA=P0 where A=(10,-10)

Observe that the coordinates of P are (x,y)=(x,-x+6) because P is in the line.

Then,

PA=P0\\(x,-x+6)(10,-10)=(x,-x+6)(0,0)\\10x+(-x+6)(-10)=0\\10x+10x-60=0\\20x=60\\x=3

We reeplace  the value of x in the coordinates of P and obtain the point

(3,-3+6)=(3,3)=P

What is the value of x ? (Make sure you give the value of x !!!!)
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

The value of x is 20 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The three angles of a triangle must equal 180 degrees.

100 + 40 + 2x = 140 + 2x

180 - 140 = 40 (goal)

2(x) = 40

2(20) = 40

A) 20 degrees
