Julie needs to cut 4 pieces of yarn, each with the same length, and a piece of yarn 7.75 inches long. let x represent the length

of each of the equal pieces of yarn that julie decides to cut. what is the equation that can be used to determine the total length of all the yarn that she ends up cutting, y? is the graph of the equation continuous or discrete?

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of each of the equal piece of yarn. Since they are 4 equal pieces of yarn, then the total length of the equal pieces of yarn = 4x.

Also, besides cutting the 4 equal pieces of yarn Julie further cuts a yarn 7.75 inches long, therefore if y represent the total length of all the yarn that she ends up cutting, hence:

y = 4x + 7.75

Since the graph produced by this equation have all points connected to each other, hence this is a continuous graph.

Answer:

Segment EF: y = -x + 8

Segment BC: y = -x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two similar right triangles, ΔABC and ΔDEF, for which we must determine the slope-intercept form of the side of ΔDEF that is parallel to segment BC.

Upon observing the given diagram, we can infer the following corresponding sides:

\displaystyle\mathsf{\overline{BC}\:\: and\:\:\overline{EF}}

\displaystyle\mathsf{\overline{BA}\:\: and\:\:\overline{ED}}

\displaystyle\mathsf{\overline{AC}\:\: and\:\:\overline{DF}}

We must determine the slope of segment BC from ΔABC, which corresponds to segment EF from ΔDEF.

<h2>Slope of Segment BC:</h2>

In order to solve for the slope of segment BC, we can use the following slope formula:

\displaystyle\mathsf{Slope\:(m)\:=\:\frac{y_2 \:-\:y_1}{x_2 \:-\:x_1}}  }

Use the following coordinates from the given diagram:

Point B:  (x₁, y₁) =  (-2, 4)

Point C:  (x₂, y₂) = ( 1,  1 )

Substitute these values into the slope formula:

\displaystyle\mathsf{Slope\:(m)\:=\:\frac{y_2 \:-\:y_1}{x_2 \:-\:x_1}}\:=\:\frac{1\:-\:4}{1\:-\:(-2)}\:=\:\frac{-3}{1\:+\:2}\:=\:\frac{-3}{3}\:=\:-1}

<h2>Slope of Segment EF:</h2>

Similar to how we determined the slope of segment BC, we will use the coordinates of points E and F from ΔDEF to find its slope:

Point E:  (x₁, y₁) =  (4, 4)

Point F:  (x₂, y₂) = (6, 2)

Substitute these values into the slope formula:

\displaystyle\mathsf{Slope\:(m)\:=\:\frac{y_2 \:-\:y_1}{x_2 \:-\:x_1}}\:=\:\frac{2\:-\:4}{6\:-\:4}\:=\:\frac{-2}{2}\:=\:-1}

Our calculations show that segment BC and EF have the same slope of -1.  In geometry, we know that two nonvertical lines are <u>parallel</u> if and only if they have the same slope.  

Since segments BC and EF have the same slope, then it means that  \displaystyle\mathsf{\overline{BC}\:\: | |\:\:\overline{EF}}.

<h2>Slope-intercept form:</h2><h3><u>Segment BC:</u></h3>

The <u>y-intercept</u> is the point on the graph where it crosses the y-axis. Thus, it is the value of "y" when x = 0.

Using the slope of segment BC, m = -1, and the coordinates of point C, (1,  1), substitute these values into the <u>slope-intercept form</u> (y = mx + b) to solve for the y-intercept, <em>b. </em>

y = mx + b

1 = -1( 1 ) + b

1 = -1 + b

Add 1 to both sides to isolate b:

1 + 1 = -1 + 1 + b

2 = b

Hence, the <u><em>y-intercept</em></u> of segment BC is: <em>b</em> = 2.

Therefore, the linear equation in <u>slope-intercept form of segment BC</u> is:

⇒  y = -x + 2.

<h3><u /></h3><h3><u>Segment EF:</u></h3>

Using the slope of segment EF, <em>m</em> = -1, and the coordinates of point E, (4, 4), substitute these values into the <u>slope-intercept form</u> to solve for the y-intercept, <em>b. </em>

y = mx + b

4 = -1( 4 ) + b

4 = -4 + b

Add 4 to both sides to isolate b:

4 + 4 = -4 + 4 + b

8 = b

Hence, the <u><em>y-intercept</em></u> of segment BC is: <em>b</em> = 8.

Therefore, the linear equation in <u>slope-intercept form of segment EF</u> is:

⇒  y = -x + 8.

Find the volume of th] cylinder. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary. Use 3.14 for 1.
spayn [35]

Answer:197.8

The formula for a cylinder is 3.14*r^2*h but if you don't round to the nearest tenth the the answer is 197.82034.

Step-by-step explanation:Step one mutiply 3^2=9, Step two mutiply 3.14*

9=28.26, Step three mutiply 28.26*7=197.82.But if you round 197.82034 to the nearest tenth which is moving one decimal place to the right you'll will get 197.8.
