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.

What is the endpoint formula given midpoint?
zysi [14]

Answer:

  B = 2M -A

Step-by-step explanation:

For given endpoint A and midpoint M, the other endpoint B can be found using the definition of the midpoint:

  M = (A+B)/2

  2M = A+B . . . . . multiply by 2

  2M-A = B . . . . . subtract A

The second endpoint can be found by subtracting the given endpoint from twice the midpoint:

  B = 2M -A

Translation does not affect angles or side lengths. Sides that are parallel before translation remain parallel after translation.

The only parallel sides in this figure are AD and BC, so the only reasonable choice is ...

How does the order of operations relate to solving multi-step equations? Use examples of solving an equation, and then evaluatin
givi [52]
The order of operations helps keep answers for multi-step equations similar. If the proper order of operations are not followed, then answers may vary. To show an example:

4 / 2 - 1

The proper order of operations would be:

Divide first, before subtracting
4 / 2 - 1
2 - 1
1

But if subtracting was done before dividing:

4 / 2 - 1
4 / 1
4

So not following the proper order would yield different and erroneous answers.
