The longer sides of the rectangles should be the same value, so we can make the lower part of the equation equal to 18, which is 4.
We can even find the y value by making it equal to 10, which is 3.
Answer:
d
Step-by-step explanation:
Answers:
1) The dependent variable is the boiling point of water and the independent variable is the altitude.
2) The slope would represent the average decrease of the boiling point of water per every one thousand feet that the altitude increase.
Explanation:
1) given
Table:
<span>Altitude
(in thousands of feet) Boiling Point of Water (Fahrenheit)
(sea level) 0
212
0.5 211.1
1.0 210
2.0 208.4
2.5 207.5
3.0 206.6
4.0 204.8
4.5 203.9
2) The independent variable is the input of the function, and the dependent variable is the output of the function.
The input determines the output once the rule is established.
Therefore:
a) the independent variable is the altitude, and
b) the dependent variable is the boiling point of water in Farenheit.
3) The slope of the graph would be:
change in the dependent variable change in boiling point
slope = --------------------------------------------------- = ---------------------------------
</span> change in the independent variable change in altitude
Therefore, the slope represents the average change in the boiling boilin point of water every one thousand feet on change of altitude.
If the relationship is not linear, then the slope is not constant, and you will have different slopes for different parts.
If the slope is negative, means that as the altitude increase the boiling point of water decrease.
You can calculate the slope using any two pair of points (data)
212 - 210 2
slope =---------------- = ------- = - 2
0 - 1 - 1
or, using other pair of points:
204.8 - 210 -5.2
slope = --------------------- = --------- = -2.6
4.0 - 2.0 2.0
As you see, the slope is not constant. So, the function is not linear.
The answer is a because it has a negative slope and to find it i did rise over run it rises one block for every four it goes over
<span>Here let the quadratic equation be ax^2 + bx + c
We know that a=5 from the question.
Since the roots are 6 and 2, the quadratic equation would take the form of a product like (a1x-b1)(a2x-b2).
However, let's assume that a2=1 and b2=6,
Since a=5, a1=5, then 5x-b1=5(x-2). Solving this shows that b1=10
So, the equation is (5x-10)(x-6)</span>
