A real world example could be:
Consider x is time in minutes
Consider y is the amount of fish food required in grams
The equation could then represent how much food (in grams) that a fish needs to be fed x minutes after it was previously fed.
Answer:
linear and y = 2x + 19
Step-by-step explanation:
the x- values increment by 2 and the values of y increment by 4
This indicates a linear relationship exists in the form
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
m =
=
= 2
y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation
to find c use any ordered pair from the table
using (- 5, 9 ), then
9 = - 10 + c ⇒ c = 9 + 10 = 19
y = 2x + 19 ← linear equation
As a check
x = - 7 : y = - 14 + 19 = 5 ← correct value of y
x = - 5 : y = - 10 + 19 = 9 ← correct value of y
x = - 3 : y = - 6 + 19 = 13 ← correct value of y
x = - 1 : y = - 2 + 19 = 17 ← correct value of y
Answer:
<em>Thus, the dimensions of the metal plate are 10 dm and 8 dm.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
For a quadratic equation:

The sum of the roots is -b and the product is c. Note the leading coefficient is 1.
We know the perimeter of the rectangular metal plate is 36 dm and its area is 80 dm^2. Being L and W its dimensions, then:
P=2(L+W)=36
A=L.W=80
Note both formulas are closely related to the roots of the quadratic equation, we only need to adjust the data for the perimeter to be exactly the sum of L+W and not double of it.
Thus we use the semi perimeter instead as P/2=L+W=18
The quadratic equation is, then:

Factoring by finding two numbers that add up to 18 and have a product of 80:

The solutions to the equation are:
x=10, x=8
Thus, the dimensions of the metal plate are 10 dm and 8 dm.
Answer:
.79 mm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the area of the circle
A = pi r^2
A = 3.14 (1) ^2
A = 3.14
Now we have 1/4 of the circle
The area is 1/4 of the full area
1/4 *3.14
.785
Rounding to the nearest hundredth
.79 mm^2
Answer:
y = 46
Step-by-step explanation:
Given y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is
y =
← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition y = 23 when x = 8 , then
23 =
( multiply both sides by 8 )
184 = k
y =
← equation of variation
When x = 4 , then
y =
= 46
