So, first we multiply the fraction by using the formula a/b times c/d= a times c/b times d
=(y^2-16) times 5y/2y(y-4)
Now, we cancel the common factor y
=(y^2-16) times 5/2(y-4)
Now, we factor 5(y^2-16)
We factor (y^2-16) first
y^2-16
Rewrite 16 as 4^2
y^2-4^2
Now, apply the formula x^2-y^2=(x+y)(x-y)
=y^2-4^2=(y+4)(y-4)
=5(y+4)(y-4)
=5(y+4)(y-4)/2(y-4)
Cancel the common factor y-4
=5(y+4)/2
Answer: 5(y+4)/2
Start with adding the feet: 6+4+5=15
then add the inches: 5+6+7=18
18 inches= 1 foot and 6 inches
So its 16 feet and 6 inches
Answer:
6.125 or 49/8
Step-by-step explanation:
1 3/4 times 3 2/4
Using the given linear function of best-fit, the most likely approximate height of the plant after 8 weeks would be of 7.4 centimeters.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
The line of best-fit goes through points (0,1) and (5,5). Point (0,1) means that the y-intercept is of b = 1. The slope is given as follows:
m = (5 - 1)/(5 - 0) = 4/5 = 0.8.
Hence the equation that gives the approximate height after x weeks is:
y = 0.8x + 1.
After 8 weeks, the expected height is:
y = 0.8 x 8 + 1 = 6.4 + 1 = 7.4 centimeters.
