Step-by-step explanation:
Here is a helpful method I taught my students in my mini lesson...
For you to remember, 22= 4, and 32= 9. Hence the answer to the root of 8 lies between the numbers 2 and 3. However, since the square of 3 equals to 9 which is larger than 8, the root 8 value lies in between the number 2.8 and 2.9.
Answer:
1. Rectangle
2. 376.8 cm
3. 379.94 square feet
4. –4 and 4
Step-by-step explanation:
A square is always a rectangle.
If a wheel has a radius of 15 cm, it would travel approximately 376.8 cm per 4 revolutions.
If the diameter of a circular garden is 22 feet, the approximate area of the garden is 379.94 square feet.
The solutions to the equation y2 – 1 = 15 is –4 and 4.
Answer:
The distance from the star to the second checkpoint is 4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question in the attached figure
we know that
When you get to the second checkpoint, you are 1/4 of the distance to the finish
so
The distance from the star to the second checkpoint is equal to the total distance multiplied by 1/4
The total distance is 40 miles ( see the attached figure)
so
The distance from the star to the second checkpoint is
<em>Find out the distance from the start to the first checkpoint</em>
Multiply the distance from the star to the second checkpoint by 2/5
-- They're losing employees . . . so you know that the line will slope down, and
its slope is negative;
-- They're losing employees at a steady rate . . . so you know that the slope is
the same everywhere on the line; this tells you that the graph is a straight line.
I can see the function right now, but I'll show you how to go through the steps to
find the function. I need to point out that these are steps that you've gone through
many times, but now that the subject pops up in a real-world situation, suddenly
you're running around in circles with your hair on fire screaming "What do I do ?
Somebody give me the answer !".
Just take a look at what has already been handed to you:
0 months . . . 65 employees
1 month . . . . 62 employees
2 months . . . 59 employees
You know three points on the line !
(0, 65) , (1, 62) , and (2, 59) .
For the first point, 'x' happens to be zero, so immediately
you have your y-intercept ! ' b ' = 65 .
You can use any two of the points to find the slope of the line.
You will calculate that the slope is negative-3 . . . which you
might have realized as you read the story, looked at the numbers,
and saw that they are <u>firing 3 employees per month</u>.
("Losing" them doesn't quite capture the true spirit of what is happening.)
So your function ... call it ' W(n) ' . . . Workforce after 'n' months . . .
is <em>W(n) = 65 - 3n</em> .
