X^2+92 is the simplest form first solve the second parentheses. 10^2+2=102 then add -10. 102+-10 is the same as 102-10=92 plug back in x^2+92.
Answers:
- A) The equation is d = 2t
- B) Independent variable = time; dependent variable = amount of cookies
=========================================================
Explanation:
The independent variable is always long the horizontal axis. Often this is x, but we are using t in this case.
The variable t represents the amount of time in minutes. For instance, t = 2 means 2 minutes have elapsed. At this time, 4 cookies have been eaten as shown by the point (2,4). As another example, the point (3,6) means that d = 6 cookies have been eaten at time t = 3 minutes.
The equation is d = 2t because the '2' represents the rate of change of "eating 2 cookies per minute". Whatever the time value (t) is, we double it to get the value of d, which is the number of cookies eaten.
Triangle ABC is similar to triangle APQ. They have corresponding line segments. Line segment PQ corresponds to BC.
