(04.01 MC) A candle burns down at the rate of 0.5 inches per hour. The original height of the candle was 10 inches. Part A: Writ

e a list of 6 ordered pairs to show the height of the candle in inches (y) as a function of time in hours (x) from the first hour after it started burning. For example, the point (0, 10) would represent a height of 10 inches after 0 hours. Explain how you obtained the ordered pairs. (5 points) Part B: Is this relation a function? Justify your answer using the list of ordered pairs you created in Part A. (2 points) Part C: If the rate at which the candle burned was 0.75 inches per hour instead of 0.5 inches per hour, would the relation be a function? Explain your answer using input and output values.

Answer:

Part A: (0,9) (2,8) (4,7) (6, 6) (8, 5) (10, 4) i figured out how many hours it would take to burn one inch.

Part B: yes, because i can figure out the rate of change of the candle.

Part C: yes it would be in 0.9 hours it would go down one inch

hopw this helps! :)

in an office building,92 offices are currently being rented. This represents 80% of the total units. How many offices are in the
8090 [49]

Answer:

Number of offices in the building = 115

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total number of offices.

Then 80% x= 92 or 80/100 * x =92

Hence, x = 92*100/80 = 9200/80= 115

3/a times x-4=20<br> What is x?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Step  1  :

           3

Simplify   —

           a

Equation at the end of step  1  :

   3                

 ((— • x) -  4) -  20  = 0  

   a                

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  a  as the denominator :

        4     4 • a

   4 =  —  =  —————

        1       a  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

3x - (4 • a)     3x - 4a

————————————  =  ———————

     a              a    

Equation at the end of step  2  :

 (3x - 4a)    

 ————————— -  20  = 0  

     a        

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

3.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  a  as the denominator :

         20     20 • a

   20 =  ——  =  ——————

         1        a    

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

(3x-4a) - (20 • a)     3x - 24a

——————————————————  =  ————————

        a                 a    

Step  4  :

Pulling out like terms :

4.1     Pull out like factors :

  3x - 24a  =   -3 • (8a - x)  

Equation at the end of step  4  :

 -3 • (8a - x)

 —————————————  = 0  

       a      

Step  5  :

When a fraction equals zero :

5.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 -3•(8a-x)

 ————————— • a = 0 • a

     a    

Now, on the left hand side, the  a  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  -3  •  (8a-x)  = 0

Equations which are never true :

5.2      Solve :    -3   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Equation of a Straight Line

5.3     Solve   8a-x  = 0 Tiger recognizes that we have here an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK). "y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.In this formula :y tells us how far up the line goesx tells us how far alongm is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line isb is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axisThe X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line  8a-x  = 0 and calculate its properties

Graph of a Straight Line :

 

 

Calculate the Y-Intercept :

Notice that when x = 0 the value of a is 0/8 so this line "cuts" the a axis at a= 0.00000

 a-intercept = 0/8  =  0.00000  

Calculate the X-Intercept :

When a = 0 the value of x is 0/-1 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x=-0.00000

 x-intercept = 0/-1  = -0.00000  

Calculate the Slope :

Slope is defined as the change in a divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of a is -0.000 and for x=2.000, the value of a is 0.250. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 0.250 - -0.000 = 0.250 in a. (The change in a is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

   Slope     =  0.250/2.000 =  0.125  

Geometric figure: Straight Line

 Slope = 0.250/2.000 = 0.125

 x-intercept = 0/-1 = -0.00000

 a-intercept = 0/8 = 0.00000
