Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Between each term you are multiplying the previous term by 2, making 2 the common ration of the sequence.
Let's use the slope intercept form of a line which is:
y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y-intercept.
Mathematically m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) and the y-intercept is just the value of y when x is equal to zero, where the line intercepts the y axis...
First you want to find the slope by finding two clearly identifiable points on the graph...I'll pick (4,4) and (0,1), now we can calculate the slope or "m"...
m=(4-1)/(4-0)=3/4 so now we can say our line is:
y=0.75x+b, using point (4,4) we can now solve for b.
4=0.75(4)+b
4=3+b
b=1 so the line is"
y=0.75x+1
Rates like $ per channel is a slope, "m". The added fee is a constant so it's the intercept "b".
y = mx + b
So for the first problem (9)
(a)
y = total cost in dollars
x = number of premium channels
y = 16x + 44
(b) when x = 3 channels
y = 16(3) + 44
y = 92 $
the second problem (10)
(a) every 4 years the tree grows by 12-9=3 ft
So the unit rate or slope will be 3 ft per 4 yrs, (3/4). You can see this also by solving for slope "m" using the given points (4,9) and (8,12).
x = number of years
y = height of tree in ft
y = (3/4)x + b
use one of the points to find the y-intercept "b".
9 = (3/4)(4) + b
9 = 3 + b
9 - 3 = b
6 = b
y = (3/4)x + 6
(b) when x = 16
y = (3/4)(16) + 6
y = 12 + 6
y = 18 ft
basically you treat y like a number and not a variable
Answer:
a is 4
b is 2y
c is -10y²+9
discriminant is 4(41y²-36)
Step-by-step explanation:
4x²+2xy-10y²+9=0
rewrite in standard form of a quadratic equation like ax² + bx + c = 0
4x²+2yx-10y²+9=0
basically you treat y like a number and not a variable
a is the number with the x²
right away we know a is 4 because of 4x²
b is the one with x so in this formula b is 2y
c is the number without the x which in this case is -10y²+9
discriminant is
b² - 4ac
(2y)²- (4)(4)(-10y²+9)
4y²-(16)(-10y²+9)
4y²-(16)(-10y²+9)
4y²+160y²-144
164y²-144 =
4(41y²-36)
