Jolene is making a line graph showing that the cost of grain is proportional to the number of pounds purchased. Jolene will plot

the number of pounds on the x-axis and the cost in dollars on the y-axis. The coordinates Jolene graphs are shown in the table.
Which coordinate represents the unit rate, in dollars per pound of grain, and why?

Pounds Cost (in dollars)

1.0 0.25

4.0 1.00
Create an equation to represent the cost, y, in dollars, for x pounds of grain.

Answer:

a. (1,0.25)

b. y = 0.25x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The data in the table

Solving (a): The coordinate that represents the unit rate

The unit rate is when its 1 pound

This is so because the unit rate is dollars per pounds.

<em>Hence, the coordinate is </em>(1,0.25)<em></em>

Solving (b): Equation of the graph

First, we calculate the slope (m)

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Where:

(x_1,y_1) = (1,0.25)

(x_2,y_2) = (4,1.00)

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

m = \frac{1.00 - 0.25}{4 - 1}

m = \frac{0.75}{3}

m = 0.25

The equation is then calculated as thus:

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

This gives:

y - 0.25 = 0.25(x - 1)

y - 0.25 = 0.25x - 0.25

Make y the subject

y = 0.25x

<em>Hence, the equation of the graph is: </em>y = 0.25x<em></em>

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term ( explicit formula ) of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₁₂ = - 95 and a₃₇ = - 270 , then

a₁ + 11d = - 95 → (1)

a₁ + 36d = - 270 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate a₁

25d = - 175 ( divide both sides by 25 )

d = - 7

Substitute d = - 7 into (1) and solve for a₁

a₁ + 11(- 7) = - 95

a₁ - 77 = - 95 ( add 77 to both sides )

a₁ = - 18 , thus

a_{n} = - 18 - 7(n - 1) = - 18 - 7n + 7 = - 7n - 11

a_{n} = - 7n - 11 ← explicit formula

--------------------------------------------------------------

The recursive formula allows a term in the sequence to be found by adding the common difference d to the previous term, thus

a_{n} = a_{n-1} - 7 with a₁ = - 18 ← recursive formula

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

696.91

Step-by-step explanation:

V = \frac{4}{3}  *\pi *r^3\\=  \frac{4}{3}*\pi *5.5^3\\= \frac{4}{3}*\pi *166.375\\=696.9099703\\

≈ 696.91

I don't need an answer but can someone explain how to do numbers 1-5?
cupoosta [38]
Monomial is one term, like #2 would be a monomial. binomial is two terms, like 3x - 2. trinomial is three terms, like #1,3,4. polynomial is four terms, like #5. standard form is just rewriting the equation in order from the term with the highest exponent to the lowest

Find the length of the line joining the points A(-2,10) and B(-8,2)
Vesnalui [34]

Length of the line

= \sqrt{((-2)-(-8))^{2}+(10-2)^{2}  }

= \sqrt{36+64}

=\sqrt{100}

= 10
