Answer:
This is a linear equation.
y = mx+b
y is the total cost.
The slope m is the rate: that's 9 dollars per hour.
x is the number of hours.
b is the initial value: that's 16 dollars.
y = 9x+16
The problem states that the cost was 79 dollars.
Substitute that for y and solve for x.
79 = 9x+16
63 = 9x
x = 7 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: Brandon is 24, Michael is 72.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let m represent Michael
Let b represent Brandon
Then,
m = 3b <-----------"Michael is 3 times as old as Brandon."
m - 18 = 9(b - 18) <-----------"18 years ago, Michael was 9 times as old as Brandon."
3b - 18 = 9b - 162
-18 = 6b - 162
144 = 6b
Michael is 3 times as old as Brandon. Also, 18 years ago, Brandon would have been 6 and Michael would have been 54 meaning Michael was 9 times as old as Brandon 18 years ago.
Answer:
44. answer = a. (<)
45. answer = b. (>)
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the relation between the angles, we can use the law of sines in the triangle that contains both angles.
So for question 44, the angles mQRW and mRWQ are both in the triangle QWR, so we have:
10 / sin(mQRW) = 17 / sin(mRWQ)
sin(mQRW) / sin(mRWQ) = 10 / 17
The bigger the sine of the angle, the bigger the angle, so if the ratio between the sine of mQRW and sine of mRWQ is lesser than 1, the angle mQRW is lesser than the angle mRWQ (correct option: a.)
In the same way, in the question 45, the angles mRTW and mTWR are both in the triangle TWR, so we have:
15 / sin(mRTW) = 8 / sin(mTWR)
sin(mRTW) / sin(mTWR) = 15 / 8
If the ratio between the sine of mRTW and sine of mTWR is greater than 1, the angle mRTW is greater than the angle mTWR (correct option: b.)
Basically, the angle opposite to the greater side is the greater angle, and the angle opposite to the smaller side is the smaller angle.
Answer:
- The maximum height is 136 ft
- The time it takes to achieve this height is 1.5 s.
Explanation:
<u>1. Function for the height (given):</u>
<u />
<u>2. Type of function</u>
That is a quadatic function, whose graph is a parabola that opens downward.
The maximum of the function, i.e. the maximum height, is the vertex of the parabola.
The vertex of a parabola with the genral equation 
is at the x-coordinate
<u>3. Time to achieve the maximum height</u>
Substitute b with 48 and a with - 16:
Then, time when the object achieves the maximum height it 1.5s
<u />
<u>4. Maximum height:</u>
Replace t with 1.5 in the equation, to find the maximum height, h(1.5)
Then, the maximum height is 136 ft
