Volgvan2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

-8n+7

Step-by-step explanation:

the difference between the values is 8, as it decreases by 8, it withh be 8n

It does not start at 8 though, so you do 15-8 to find the different which is added on which is 7 in this case

A rectangle has a length of 6.5m and a width of 7.3m what is the area and the perimeter
Bad White [126]

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><em><u>Given</u></em><em><u>:</u></em></h3>

Length of the rectangle = 6.5 m

Width of the rectangule = 7.3 m

<h3><em><u>Then</u></em><em><u>:</u></em></h3>

<u>First</u><u> </u><u>case</u><u>,</u>

Area of the rectangle

= length × width

= 6.5 m × 7.3 m

= <em><u>47.45</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>s</u></em><em><u>q</u></em><em><u>.</u></em><em><u>m</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>(</u></em><em><u>Ans</u></em><em><u>)</u></em><em><u>(</u></em><em><u>i</u></em><em><u>)</u></em>

<u>Second</u><u> </u><u>case</u><u>,</u>

Perimeter of the rectangle

= 2(length + width)

= 2(6.5 + 7.3)m

= 2 × 13.8 m

= <em><u>27</u></em><em><u>.</u></em><em><u>6</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>m</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>(</u></em><em><u>Ans</u></em><em><u>)</u></em><em><u>(</u></em><em><u>ii</u></em><em><u>)</u></em>

In an apartment complex with 28 units, 19 of the renters keep a pet. What percentage does not keep a pet?
Aleks04 [339]

If 19 out of 28 renters keep a pet, there are 28-19 = 9 renters who don't keep a pet.

Whenever you have a subset of some set, and you want to know which percentage of the set the subset represents, you simply have to compute

\dfrac{\text{number of elements in the subset}}{\text{number of elements in the set}}\times 100

So, in your case, you're wondering what percentage of 28 does 9 represent. So, the formula becomes

\dfrac{9}{28}\times 100 = 0.32\overline{142857}\times 100 = 32.\overline{142857} \approx 32.14\%

I cannot solve this. I don't know how.
Pani-rosa [81]
<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • f(q) = q² -2q +3
  • f(x+h) = (x+h)² -2(x+h) +3
  • (f(x+h) -f(x))/h = 2x -2 +h
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The notation f(x) means you have a function that has been given the name f, and it makes use of the variable x. The variable in the parentheses is called the "argument" of the function f.

(a) To find f(q), you put q everywhere x is in the function equation. This is called evaluating the function for an argument of "q". In the following, note that we have simply changed x to q. (It's really that simple.)

... f(q) = q² -2q +3

(b) As in the previous case, we replace x with (x+h) everywhere.

... f(x+h) = (x+h)² -2(x+h) +3

You can multiply it out, but there appears to be no need to do so for this part of the question.

(c) The intent here is that f(x+h) and f(x) will be replaced by their values and the whole thing simplified. This requires you  expand the expression you see in part (b), subtract f(x), collect terms, and divide the whole thing by h. You have to make use of what you know about multiplying binomials.

We can do it in parts:

... f(x+h) = (x+h)² -2(x+h) +3

... = (x² +2xh +h²) + (-2x -2h) +3

Separating the h terms, this looks like ...

... = (x² -2x +3) + (2xh -2h +h²)

Now, we can finish the numerator part of the expression by subtracting f(x):

... f(x+h) -f(x) = (x² -2x +3) +(2xh -2h +h²) -(x² -2x +3)

You can see that the stuff in the first parentheses matches that in the last parentheses, so when we subtract the latter from the former, we get zero. We are left with only the terms containing h.

... f(x+h) -f(x) = 2xh -2h +h²

To finish up this problem, we need to divide this numerator value by the denominator h.

... (f(x+h) -f(x))/h = (2xh -2h +h²)/h

... = (2xh)/h -(2h)/h +h²/h

... = 2x -2 +h . . . . . this is the value of the expression

... (f(x+h) -f(x))/h = 2x -2 +h

In slope intercept form, write the equation for the line that passes through the point (2,3) and the point (7,13).
tatuchka [14]
First, Use the slope equation to find the slope of the line passing thru these two points:

m=rise/run

Here, the rise is 13-3, or 10, and the run is 7-2, or 5.  Thus, the slope, m, is 10/5, or 2:  m=2.

We want the slope-intercept form, so let's begin with its general form:

y=mx+b.  Substitute the slope 2 for m:  y=2x+b.  Now choose either of the given points.  Arbitrarily I am choosing (2,3).  Then x=2 and y=3.

Substituting these values into y=2x+b:    3 = 2(2) + b, or b= 3 -4, or b = -1.

Then the equation of this line, in slope-intercept form, is y = 2x - 1.
