Answer:

$y = -1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Points: (-5,0) and (-4, y)

Slope: $m = -1$

Required

Find y

The slope (m) of a line is calculated using:

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

So, we have:

$-1 = \frac{y - 0}{-4 - (-5)}$

$-1 = \frac{y }{-4 +5}$

$-1 = \frac{y }{1}$

$-1= y$

$y = -1$

the function y = 3.75 + 1.5(x - 1) can be used to determine the cost in dollars of x miles. What is the rate of change of the co

LenKa [72]

We are given

$y=3.75+1.5(x-1)$

where

y is the cost in dollars

x is distance in dollars

now, we can find derivative

$y'=\frac{d}{dx}\left(3.75+1.5\left(x-1\right)\right)$

$=\frac{d}{dx}\left(3.75\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(1.5\left(x-1\right)\right)$

$=0+1.5$

so,

$y'=0+1.5$

So,

the rate of change of the cost in dollars with respect to the number of miles is 1.5.........Answer

The state of Georgia has roughly 10⁷ human residents. Each human has roughly 10¹³ bacteria cells in his or her digestive tract.

crimeas [40]

Answer:

10^20

Step-by-step explanation:

So in this word problem, we have to multiply 10^13 bacteria cells on a single person by the 10^7 of people.

Always remember this, when you have exponenets with the same bases, and the question asks for multiplying and dividing exponents, you just need to add and subtract the exponent.

So in this case, we will just add since it calls for multipactation.

So we need to solve:

10^13+7

This will just equal:

<u>10^20 power</u>

Hope this helps ;)

The first term of a geometric sequence is 32, and the 5th term of the sequence is 818 .

sammy [17]

Answer:

$32,24,18,\frac{27}{2} ,\frac{81}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x, y , and z be the numbers.

Then the geometric sequence is $32,x,y,z,\frac{81}{8}$

Recall that term of a geometric sequence are generally in the form:

$a,ar,ar^2,ar^3,ar^4$

This implies that:

a=32 and $ar^4=\frac{81}{8}$

Substitute a=32 and solve for r.

$32r^3=\frac{81}{8}$

$r^4=\frac{81}{256}$

Take the fourth root to get:

$r=\sqrt[4]{\frac{81}{256} }$

$r=\frac{3}{4}$

Therefore $x=32*\frac{3}{4} =24$

$y=24*\frac{3}{4} =18$

$z=18*\frac{3}{4} =\frac{27}{2}$
