<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
For x equal or less than -2, the line passes through (-3,-3) and (-2,-2), hence the rule is:
.
For x greater than -2 up to 1, the y-intercept is of -7, and the line also passes through (1,-8), hence the rule is:
.
For x greater than 1, the function goes through (2,-5) and (3,-3), hence the slope is:
m = (-3 - (-5))(3 - 2) = 2.
The rule is:
y = 2x + b.
When x = 2, y = -5, hence:
-5 = 2(2) + b
b = -9.
Hence:

2x7 = 14 figures
Answer is
shelves hold 14 figures
<h2>
Answer:</h2>
<em>Rounded to the nearest hundredth the volume of the composite figure is:</em>
<em>1308 33 cubic millimeters</em>
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
Hello! I wrote the complete question in a comment above. The volume of a cylinder is defined as:

While the volume of half a sphere is:

Since we have 2 half spheres, then the volume of these is the same as the volume of a sphere:

Then, the composite figure is:

The radius of the cylinder is the same of the radius of each half sphere. So:

Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
He used 53 pounds. I got this by using two equations.
a+b=117
and
5.8a+4.1b= 569.8
I took the first equation and subtracted 'b' so the equation looked like a=117-b.
I then plugged in 117-b into the second equation, so it ended up looking like this:
5.8 (117-b)=569.8
5.8 times 117 is 678.6. And 5.8 times negative b is negative 5.8b.
The equation now looks like this:
678.6-5.8b+4.1b=569.8
Add like terms
678.6-1.7b=569.8
Then subtract 678.6 from both sides
-1.7b= -108.8
divide each side by -1.7
you get b= 64.
But because you are looking for how many pounds for a, subtract 64 from 117. You get 53. 53 is the answer.
