Answer:

  increasing 7/24 ft per week

Step-by-step explanation:

An expression for the length of the base can be written from the Pythagorean theorem relation between the sides of the triangle.

If the height is 7-x, where x is the number of weeks after the height is 7 feet, then the base length is ...

  b = √(25^2 -(7-x)^2) = √(625 -(49 -14x +x^2)) = √(-x^2 +14x +576)

Then the rate of change of b with respect to x is ...

  b' = (-2x +14)/(2√(-x^2 +14x +576))

When x=0, the rate of change of the base is ...

  b' = 14/(2√576) = 7/24

The base is increasing 7/24 ft per week when the height is 7 ft.

Quadrilateral RAPS is located at the vertices
blondinia [14]

Answer:

R''(-1, 4), A''(-4, 3), P''(-5, 0), S''(-1, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new position. Types of transformation include dilation, reflection, translation and rotation.

If a point A(x, y) is reflected over the line y = x, the new point is at  A'(y, x)

If a point A(x, y) is  rotated 180° clockwise about the origin, the new location is at A'(-x, -y)

Since Quadrilateral RAPS is located at the vertices  R(-4,1), A(-3, 4), P(0,5), S(-1,1), After been reflected  across the line y = x, the new locations are at:

R'(1, -4), A'(4, -3), P'(5, 0), S'(1, -1)

Then the rotation of the points R'(1, -4), A'(4, -3), P'(5, 0), S'(1, -1) 180° about the origin gives:

R''(-1, 4), A''(-4, 3), P''(-5, 0), S''(-1, 1)

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all
Rudik [331]

Answer:

y=-3x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

9x+3y=-9

This is currently in standard form, or ax+by=c.

To get it to slope-intercept form, (y=mx+b) first subtract 9x to both sides.

3y=-9x-9

Divide both sides by 3.

y=-3x-3
