Answer:

C. 4.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Force, F = 10 pounds

Extension, e = 3 inches

First of all, we would determine the spring constant (k) using the following formula;

Force = spring constant * extension

10 = spring constant * 3

Spring constant = 10/3

Spring constant = 3.33 pounds per inches.

Next, we would find the extension of the spring when a force of 15 pounds is applied;

F = ke

15 = 3.33 * e

Extension, e = 15/3.33

Extension, e = 4.5 inches.

If it is asking if that equation is the quadratic formula, then the answer is false. The reason why is that the first 'b' should be negative

The quadratic formula is

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

A table is on sale for 65% off. the sale price is $154 . what is the regular price?
Yuliya22 [10]
The original price is $254.10 or 254 rounded. 154 times .65 is 100.1. Add 100.1 to the sale price which is 154 and you'll get the original, 254.
Hope this helps :)
