Answer:

y = 2*x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a linear function can be written as:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We know that if this line passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) the slope can be written as:

a = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

So, here we know that our line must pass through the points (-2,0) and (0, 4)

Then the slope of this line is:

a = (4 - 0)/(0 - (-2))

a = 4/2 = 2

Then our line is something like:

y = 2*x + b

Now, to find the value of b we can use one of these two points, for example if we use the point (-2, 0), we know that, when x = -2, we must have y = 0.

0 = 2*(-2) + b

0 = -4 + b

4 = b

Then the equation for our line is:

y = 2*x + 4

A rectangular playground is to be fenced off and divided in two by another fence parallel to one side of the playground. Three h
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

  • 50 ft by 75 ft
  • 3750 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the side not parallel to the partition. Then the length of the side parallel to the partition is ...

  y = (300 -2x)/3

And the enclosed area is ...

  A = xy = x(300 -2x)/3 = (2/3)(x)(150 -x)

This is the equation of a parabola with x-intercepts at x=0 and x=150. The line of symmetry, hence the vertex, is located halfway between these values, at x=75.

The maximum area is enclosed when the dimensions are ...

  50 ft by 75 ft

That maximum area is 3750 square feet.

_____

<em>Comment on the solution</em>

The generic solution to problems of this sort is that half the fence (cost) is used in each of the orthogonal directions. Here, half the fence is 150 ft, so the long side measures 150'/2 = 75', and the short side measures 150'/3 = 50'. This remains true regardless of the number of partitions, and regardless if part or all of one side is missing (e.g. bounded by a barn or river).

Trigonometric Identity help​
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

sin\pi/4 * sin\pi/6 = 1/2 *(cos \pi/12 - cos 5\pi/12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:- sinX sinY = (1/2) [ cos (X - Y) - cos (X + Y) ]

sin(π/4)sin(π/6)

= (1/2)[cos(π/4 - π/6) - cos(π/4 + π/6)]

= (1/2)[cos(3π/12 - 2π/12) - cos(3π/12 + 2π/12)]

= (1/2)[cos(π/12) - cos(5π/12)]

Identify the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of each linear equation.<br> 52. 3x+4y=24
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

  [1]    3x - 4y = -24

  [2]    -x - 16y = -52

Graphic Representation of the Equations :

   -4y + 3x = -24        -16y - x = -52  

 

Solve by Substitution :

// Solve equation [2] for the variable  x

 [2]    x = -16y + 52

// Plug this in for variable  x  in equation [1]

  [1]    3•(-16y+52) - 4y = -24

  [1]     - 52y = -180

// Solve equation [1] for the variable  y

  [1]    52y = 180

  [1]    y = 45/13

// By now we know this much :

   x = -16y+52

   y = 45/13

// Use the  y  value to solve for  x

   x = -16(45/13)+52 = -44/13

Solution :

{x,y} = {-44/13,45/13}
