If you would like to know how many centimeters should you cut off, you can calculate this using the following steps:
1 1/2 meters = 3/2 meters = 1.5 meters = 150 centimeters
250 centimeters - 1 1/2 meters = 250 centimeters - 150 centimeters = 100 centimeters = 1 meter
The correct result would be 100 centimeters.
Hello! For this question, you solve using order of operations, which you probably already have remembered as PEMDAS. Anytime a number is raised to the 0 power, that is equivalent to 1. 0.5^0 is 1. 250 * 1 is 250. x = 0 gives us the answer of 250. Now, let's solve for the number by the second power. 0.5² is 0.25. 250 * 0.25 is 62.5. x² gives us 62.5. Now, let's subtract the two numbers together. 250 - 62.5 is 187.5. Because the number is decreasing, the slope is negative, so the answer is -187.5. Your answer is correct.
Part A:
From the graph, it seems that the lines intersect at (3,-1)... This seems to be the solution...
Part B:
g(x) is a negative line, and the slope is 2 (from rise/run). Y int. = 5. So, the equation is -2x+5. Plug in some numbers for this; say 1 and 2. The coordinates would be (1,3) and (2,1).
Part C:
The 2 graphs seem to intersect at (0,5), so this is the solution...
ALL of this is based on only looking at the graph, which is no better than drawing lines on the sand.. For example, the y intercept for g(x) could be 4.9 or 5.1, and I don't know the equation for f(x)... Based on the info I have, gave my best answers..
Hope this helps..
