An author works on a new book and after writing a few chapters, begins a new plan to write 600 words per day. On the fifth day o

f working on this plan, 4,500 words have been written. If the equation y = 600x + b represents the total number of words the author has written, y, based on the number of days, x, since the new plan was started, what is the value of b?​

1,500
Explanation
In y=600x + b the y is the total words and the x is the amount of days. We have the days (5 days) and we have the total amount of words. So we have to find b which is what they started off with. So what we can do is try 600words multiplied by 5 days. We should get 3000. So now we known in the span of 5 days they wrote 3000 words. Now we can subtract 4,500 and 3000, which gives us 1500. The author started off with 1,500 words. To check we just add the info in y=600(5)+1500 which gives us 4,500 .

4a + 5 = 3(a - 7) + 2a
4a + 5 = 3a - 21 + 2a
4a + 5 = 5a -21
4a -5a = -21 -5
-a = -26
a = 26

Which pair of sets of tables represent a function that has linear (constant) rate of change?
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

  B.  A and D

Step-by-step explanation:

In each of the tables, the x-values differ by 1. So, a linear relation will have the y-values differ by a constant amount. We observe the differences to be ...

  A: 3, 3, 3 . . . . a constant, so this function is linear

  B: 1, 3, 5 . . . . not a constant; non-linear

  C: 1, -6, 13 . . . not a constant; non-linear

  D; 0, 0, 0 . . . a constant, so this function is linear

Tables A and D represent linear functions.

The sea ice area around the North Pole fluctuates between about 6 million square kilometers in September to 14 million square ki
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

there are approximately 5.035 months when there is less than 9 million square meters of sea ice around the North Pole in a year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Let S(t) represent the amount sea ice around the North Pole in millions of square meters at a given time t,

t is the number of months since January.

Now, we use a cosine curve to model this scenario

Vertical shift will be;

D = ( 6 + 14 ) / 2 = 20 / 2

D = 10

Next is the Amplitude;

|A| = ( 6 - 14 ) / 2

|A| = 4

Now, the horizontal stretch factor will be;

B = 2π / 12

B = π/6

Hence;

S(t) = 4cos( π/6 × t ) + 10 ----------- let this be equation 1

Now we find when there will be less than 9 million square meters of sea ice;

S(t) = 9

so we have

9 = 4cos( π/6 × (t-2) ) + 10

9 - 10 = 4cos( π/6 × (t-2) )

-1 = 4cos( π/6 × (t-2) )

-1/4 = cos( π/6 × (t-2) )

so we have;

cos⁻¹( -1/4 ) = π/6 × (t₁-2)  -------- let this be equation 2

2π - cos⁻¹( -1/4 ) = π/6 × (t₂-2)  -------- let this be equation 3

so we solve equation 2 and 3

we have'

t₁ - t₂ = 6/π × ( 2π - cos⁻¹( -1/4 ) - cos⁻¹( -1/4 ) )

t₁ - t₂ = 6/π × ( 2π - 2cos⁻¹( -1/4 )  

t₁ - t₂ = 6/π × ( π - cos⁻¹( -1/4 )  

t₁ - t₂ = 6/π × ( π - 104.4775 )

t₁ - t₂ = 6/π × ( π - 104.4775 )  

t₁ - t₂ = 5.035

therefore, there are approximately 5.035 months when there is less than 9 million square meters of sea ice around the North Pole in a year.
