1000000+1/10. There are no rules for when you add the powers.
Linear functions have to have the same slope between any 2 points
find the slope betwen them
slope betwen 2 points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
(y1-y1)/(x2-x1)
given
(1,12) and (3,9)
slope=(9-12)/(3-1)=-3/2
if we wanted to chek furthere, we check (3,9) and (5,6) and fnd that the slope is also -3/2
so
y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yint
y=-3/2x+b
find b
if x=1 then y=12
12=-3/2+b
add 3/2 both sides
12+3/2=b
13+1/2=b
26/2+1/2=b
27/2=b
y=-3/2x+27/2
try them
we have 2 x values
7 and 3
input them and see their outputs
for x=7
y=-3/2(7)+27/2
y=-21/2+27/2
y=6/2
y=3
(7,3) is a valid point
for x=3
hold a second, we already have a x=3
it is (3,9)
none of them
answer is (7,3)
Answer: 18w^2 - 6w + 4
Explanation:
(4 + 7w^2) - (6w - 11w^2)
= 4 + 7w^2 - 6w + 11w^2
= 18w^2 - 6w + 4
210 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you need to figure out how many pieces a single machine can cut in a minute, so you need to divide 105 by 3, which gets you 35 pieces per minute.
Next, since we know there are 6 machines, and one machine canncut 35 pieces per minute, we can the figure out how many pieces all 6 cutting machines can cut in 1 minute. You would do this by making an equation such as this:
The x represents the total number of pieces cut by all 6 machines in one minute.
Next, since we now have an equation, we can go ahead and solve it. We would multiply 35 by 6, which would get us 210 pieces per minute that can be cut by all six machines
The total area of the complete lawn is (100-ft x 200-ft) = 20,000 ft².
One half of the lawn is 10,000 ft². That's the limit that the first man
must be careful not to exceed, lest he blindly mow a couple of blades
more than his partner does, and become the laughing stock of the whole
company when the word gets around. 10,000 ft² ... no mas !
When you think about it ... massage it and roll it around in your
mind's eye, and then soon give up and make yourself a sketch ...
you realize that if he starts along the length of the field, then with
a 2-ft cut, the lengths of the strips he cuts will line up like this:
First lap:
(200 - 0) = 200
(100 - 2) = 98
(200 - 2) = 198
(100 - 4) = 96
Second lap:
(200 - 4) = 196
(100 - 6) = 94
(200 - 6) = 194
(100 - 8) = 92
Third lap:
(200 - 8) = 192
(100 - 10) = 90
(200 - 10) = 190
(100 - 12) = 88
These are the lengths of each strip. They're 2-ft wide, so the area
of each one is (2 x the length).
I expected to be able to see a pattern developing, but my brain cells
are too fatigued and I don't see it. So I'll just keep going for another
lap, then add up all the areas and see how close he is:
Fourth lap:
(200 - 12) = 188
(100 - 14) = 86
(200 - 14) = 186
(100 - 16) = 84
So far, after four laps around the yard, the 16 lengths add up to
2,272-ft, for a total area of 4,544-ft². If I kept this up, I'd need to do
at least four more laps ... probably more, because they're getting smaller
all the time, so each lap contributes less area than the last one did.
Hey ! Maybe that's the key to the approximate pattern !
Each lap around the yard mows a 2-ft strip along the length ... twice ...
and a 2-ft strip along the width ... twice. (Approximately.) So the area
that gets mowed around each lap is (2-ft) x (the perimeter of the rectangle),
(approximately), and then the NEXT lap is a rectangle with 4-ft less length
and 4-ft less width.
So now we have rectangles measuring
(200 x 100), (196 x 96), (192 x 92), (188 x 88), (184 x 84) ... etc.
and the areas of their rectangular strips are
1200-ft², 1168-ft², 1136-ft², 1104-ft², 1072-ft² ... etc.
==> I see that the areas are decreasing by 32-ft² each lap.
So the next few laps are
1040-ft², 1008-ft², 976-ft², 944-ft², 912-ft² ... etc.
How much area do we have now:
After 9 laps, Area = 9,648-ft²
After 10 laps, Area = 10,560-ft².
And there you are ... Somewhere during the 10th lap, he'll need to
stop and call the company surveyor, to come out, measure up, walk
in front of the mower, and put down a yellow chalk-line exactly where
the total becomes 10,000-ft².
There must still be an easier way to do it. For now, however, I'll leave it
there, and go with my answer of: During the 10th lap.
