Write an equation in slope intercept form to model the situation.

Mathematics

lozanna [386]3 years ago

Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{2}x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is a way of modeling a quadratic equation, where the coefficient of the term (x) is the slope (change) of the line, and the constant is the y-intercept. In essence;( y=mx+b ), where (m) is the slope and (b) is the y-intercept.

The slope of the given line is (-\frac{1}{2}) because, this is the rate at which the candle burns, therefore, it is the change in the line. The change is (\frac{1}{2}) because this is the rate of burning, the slope is also negative since the height is decreasing. (10) is the y-intercept because it is the starting height of the candle. One will take the time since the start of burning the candle, multiply it by the slope, and add it to the y-intercept to find the current height of the candle. Therefore, the equation is (y=-\frac{1}{2}x + 10), where the output (y) is the current height of the candle, and the input (x) is the time at which the measruement was taken.

ΔAOB is a right angled triangle. Therefore the Pythagorean Theorem applies in this situation.
θ is the angle from a standard position of the line OA

The length of the y component is √(1-0)2 +(-3-(-3))2] =√(12+ 02) = 1 A(-3,1) to B(-3,0) which is opposite

Then the length of the x-component is √[(-3-0)2 +(0-0)2] = √(9+0)= 3 B(-3,0) to O(0,0) which is adjacent

The length of vector OA is √[(-3-0)2 + (1-0)2] = √(9+1) = √(10) A(-3,1) to O(0,0) which is the hypotenuse of the triangle

θ = 180 - α
sinθ = sin(180-α) = opposite/hypotenuse = 1/√10
cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse = -3/√10
tanθ = opposite/adjacent = 1/-3 = -1/3

α= arcsin(1/√10) ≈ 18
θ =180 -18 ≈162

For a sequence that starts with 5 and had a common difference of 2, what is the nth term
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

a_{n} = 2n + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an arithmetic sequence with nth term

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 5 and d = 2 , then

a_{n} = 5 + 2(n - 1) = 5 + 2n - 2 = 2n + 3
