Answer:

the total difference in height will be 22 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

since the slope is 0.5 inch per foot, and the patio is 44 feet wide, the end of the patio will be 0.5 x 44 = 22 inches lower

the slope measures how much the height (Y axis) will change as the length (X axis) increases by 1 unit. In this case, since the height decreases as the length increases the slope is negative.

here are several types of objects. For each type of object, estimate how many there are in a stack that is 5 feet high. Be prepa
lorasvet [3.4K]

We need to estimate how tall is, on average, one of these object, and then count how many would be in a 5 feet high stack.

For example, on Google you may see that "1.5 cubic foot boxes are the standard box, manufactured by most companies". So, we assume that a standard cardboard box is 1.5 feet tall.

So, if we set the equation

1.5k = 5 \iff k=\dfrac{5}{1.5}=3.\bar{3}

So, there would be between 3 and 4 cardboard boxes in a 5 feet tall stack.

Similarly, we can see that the average book is 9 inches tall. 9 inches are 0.75

feet, so we have

0.75k=5 \iff k=6.\bar{6}

So, there would be between 6 and 7 books in a 5 feet tall stack.

The average brick is 75 millimeters tall, which means 0.25 feet tall. Again, we have

0.25k=5 \iff k=20

So, there would be 20 bricks in a 5 feet tall stack.

Finally, a coin is about 0.006 feet, which leads to

0.006k=5 \iff k=833.\bar{3}

So, there would be between 833 and 834 coins in a 5 feet tall stack.

Write the polynomial in standard form. identify the degree and leading coefficient of the polynomial. then classify the polynomi
mezya [45]
You'll need to post the polynomial itself. The degree will be the highest exponent, the leading coefficient will be the number in front of the variable of the term with the highest exponent, then count the number of terms separated by + and - signs.
