Answer:
D.

Step-by-step explanation:
The wildfire begins at a size of 8 square feet
It means that initial area =8
It then doubles its width every x hours,
and doubles its length every y hours
so, we can set up equation

now, we can simplify it

we are given
After a period of time, the wildfire covers 14,000 square feet
so, we can set A(x,y)=14000
we get


N; n + 2 - the two consecutive even integers
n + 3(n + 2) = 46
n + 3n + 6 = 46 <em> |subtract 6 from both sides</em>
4n = 40 <em> |divide both sides by 4</em>
n = 10
n + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12
<u>Answer: 10 and 12.</u>
Answer:
The equation of the relation ⇒ 
y = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
∵ y ∝ x/z
∴ y = kx/z
∵ y = 18 , x = 15 and z = 5
∴ 18 = 15k/5 ⇒ 18 = 3k
∴ k = 18/3 = 6
∴ y = 6x/z
∵ x = 21 and z = 7
∴ y = (6 × 21)/7 = 18
Answer:
Depth of the rain gutter is 8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let’s assume ‘x’ is the depth of the rain gutter
Then the width of the rain gutter can be written as 16 - 2x
Cross sectional area
A = depth x width
Substitute values
A = x*(16 - 2x)
A = 16x – 2x^2
Now according to axis of symmetry for maximum area x = -b/2a
x = -16/2*(-2)
x = 4 inches depth of rain gutter, substitute the value of x to get
Width of rain gutter 16 – 2(4) = 8 inches
Area of the rain gutter for maximum water flow
A = 4 * 8
A = 32 square inch.
Line graphs can be used to compare changes over the same period of time for more than one group. Pie charts are best to use when you are trying to compare parts of a whole. They do not show changes over time.
