Answer:

See attachment for plot

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y =2x$

$R =+2$ --- increment in the rate

First, we need to model the new rate

A linear equation is:

$y = mx + b$

Where

$m = rate$

Compare $y =2x$ and $y = mx + b$ . we have:

$m =2$

The above represents the previous rate.

The new rate:

$R =+2$

Rewrite as:

$R = m+2$

$R = 2+2$

$R = 4$

So, the model is:

$y = Rx$

$y = 4x$

The plot at 1 and 2 minutes

When $x = 1$

$y = 4x = 4 * 1 = 4$

When $x = 2$

$y = 4x = 4 * 2 = 8$

So, we have:

$(x_1,y_1) =(1,4)$

$(x_2,y_2) =(2,8)$

Whether she moves backwards or forward, the distance covered remains the same

Vertices of the image

a) (-5, 3)

b) (-5, -1)

c) (-3, 0)

d) (-3, -1)

Explanation:

To identify each IMAGE you should perform the following steps:

List the vertex points of the preimage (the original figure) as ordered pairs.

Apply the transformation rule to every point of the preimage

List the image of each vertex after applying each transformation, also as ordered pairs.

1. (x, y) → (x + 3, y - 2)

The rule means that every point of the preimage is translated three units to the right and 2 units down.

Vertices of the preimage Vertices of the image

a) (-5,2) (-5 + 3, -1 - 2) = (-2, - 3)

b) (-5, 5) (-5 + 3, 5 - 2) = (-2, 3)

c) (-1, 4) (-1 + 3, 4 - 2) = (2, 2)

2. (x,y) → (x - 3, y + 5)

The rule means that every point of the preimage is translated three units to the left and five units down.

Vertices of the preimage Vertices of the image

a) (0, -3) (0 - 3, -3 + 5) = (-3, 2)

b) (3, -3) (3 - 3, -3 + 5) = (0, 2)

c) (3, -1) (3 - 3, -1 + 5) = (0, 4)

d) (5, -1) (5 - 3, -1 + 5) = (2, 4)

3. (x, y) → (x + 4, y)

The rule represents a translation 4 units to the right.

Vertices of the preimage Vertices of the image

a) (-5, -2) (-5 + 4, -2) = (-1, -2)

b) (-3, -5) (-3 + 4, -2) = (1, -2)

c) (-1, -2) (-1 + 4, -2) = (3, -2)

4. (x, y) → (x + 6, y + 1)

Vertices of the preimage Vertices of the image

a) (-5, -2) (-5 + 6, -2 + 1) = (1, -1)

b) (-5, -3) (-5 + 6, -3 + 1) = (1, -2)

c) (-4, -3) (-4 + 6, -3 + 1) = (2, -2)

d) (-4, -5) (-4 + 6, -5 + 1) = (2, -4)

e) (-3, -2) (-3 + 6, -2 + 1) = (3, -1)

f) (-3, -4) (-3 + 6, -4 + 1) = (3, -3)

g) (-2, -4) (-2 + 6, -4 + 1) = (4, -3)

h) (-2, -5) (-2 + 3, -5 + 1) = (1, -4)

5. (x, y) → (x, y - 4)

This is a translation four units down

Vertices of the preimage Vertices of the image

a) (0, 2) (0, 2 - 4) = (0, -2)

b) (0,1) (0, 1 - 4) = (0, -3)

c) (2, 2) (2, 2 - 4) = (2, -2)

d) (2,0) (2, 0 - 4) = (2, -4)

6. (x, y) → (x - 1, y + 4)

This is a translation one unit to the left and four units up.

Vertices of the pre-image Vertices of the image

a) (-4, -1) (-4 - 1, -1 + 4) = (-5, 3)

b) (-4 - 5) (-4 - 1, -5 + 4) = (-5, -1)

c) (-2, -4) (- 2 - 1, -4 + 4) = (-3, 0)

d) (-2, -5) (-2 - 1, -5 + 4) = (-3, -1)

Madison wants to order t-shirts for the university which consists of about 12000 students. she takes a random sample to figure o

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

She should order a total of 5,160 medium sized t-shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of medium sized t-shirt to be ordered, we shall be using the proportion of students that wanted medium sized t-shirt in her survey to multiply the total number of students that we have.

From the question, we can identify that the probability that a student will like a medium sized t-shirt is simply 129/300

Now we have about 12000 students in the University, using the probability from the survey, the number of medium sized t shirt she should order would be;

129/300 * 12,000 = 129 * 40 = 5,160 medium sized t-shirts

The ropes on either side of a swing are 1.9 m long. If a child swings through a arc length of 0.9 Determine the angle (in radian

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

theta = 9/19 radians or approximately .4737 radians

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for arc length is

S = r theta

where theta is in radians. Lets put in what we know. The radius would be 1.9 since the ropes would be the radius.

.9 = 1.9 theta

Divide by 1.9 on each side.

.9/1.9 = theta

theta = 9/19 radians

or in decimal form it is approximately .4737 radians

Answer:

$\large\boxed{(f-g)(x)=-5x^2+2x+1}$
