The distance a coiled spring stretches varies directly with the amount of weight hanging on the spring. If a spring stretches 2

cm when a 30 gram weight is hung from it, how far will it stretch when a 75 gram weight is hung from the spring?

Answer:

5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance a coiled spring stretches varies directly with the amount of weight hanging on the spring.

Distance = D

Weight = W

Hence:

D ∝ W

D = kW

Where k is constant of proportionality

Step 1

We solve for k

If a spring stretches 2 cm when a 30 gram weight is hung from it.

2 = 30k

k = 2/30

k = 1/15

Step 2

how far will it stretch when a 75 gram weight is hung from the spring?

D = kW

We are solving for D

k = 1/15

D = 1/15 × 75

D = 5 cm

The spring would stretch 5cm with a weight of 75 gram.

a rectangular garden is 47 ft longer than it is wide. its perimeter is 314 ft. what is the equation to describe the width and le
Ronch [10]
The perimeter = 2 length + 2 width 

the length = the width +47

314 = 2*(w+47) +2w

314 = 2w +94 +2w

220 =4w

w= 220/4 = 55

l = 55+47 = 102

the length = 102 ft

the width = 55 ft

The figures below are rectangles. Which polynomial represents the area of the shaded region? HAVE ALL MY POINTS but answer truth
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

7x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the shaded region = area of the large rectangular - area of the small rectangle

Area of rectangle is given as l*w

Area of the large rectangle = l*w = (x + 5)(x - 1)

Expand

= x(x - 1) +5(x - 1)

= x^2 - x + 5x - 5

Area of large rectangle = x^2 + 4x - 5

Area of small rectangle = l*w = (x + 1)(x - 4)

= x(x - 4) +1(x - 4)

=  x^2 - 4x + x - 4

Area of small rectangle = =  x^2 - 3x - 4

Area of shaded region = (x^2 + 4x - 5) - (x^2 - 3x - 4)

= x^2 + 4x - 5 - x^2 + 3x + 4

Collect like terms

= x^2 - x^2 + 4x + 3x - 5 + 4

= 7x - 1

98. Explain in your own words, how you can tell from its equation whether a parabola opens up, down, left or right.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The same way you tell if a parabola opens up or down, by the leading coefficient of the variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the x-axis is positive to the right, a positive leading coefficient (3) means it opens to the right. eg. And a negative leading coefficient (-2) means it opens to the left.
