Answer:

  a = 8; b = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Filling in the given values gives you two equations.

  7 = a(2) +b

  -1 = a(1) +b

Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...

  (7) -(-1) = (2a +b) -(a +b)

  8 = a . . . . . simplify

Using this value in the first equation gives ...

  7 = (8)(2) +b

  b = 7 -16 = -9

The constants are a = 8, b = -9.

Answer: It represents the area of the two circular sides ("lids")

Explanation:

Imagine you made a cylinder out of 3 pieces of paper. The cylinder can be decomposed into two circular shapes (radius r) and one rectangular piece with two side lengths: one is "h", the other has to be long enough to go around each of the disks, so it has to be 2*pi*r long.

So the term 2*pi*r*h is the area of the rectangular piece and pi*r^2 is the area of each of the "lids" Since there are two of those, the term 2*pi*r^2 represents the area of the bottom and top lids.

You just bought a new laptop and paid an initial payment of $150.00. You will make 12 payments of $69.50. How much will the comp
Flauer [41]

Using proportions, it is found that the computer will cost $1,043.04.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of total amount.

In this problem, the total amount is composed by:

  • An initial payment of $150.
  • 12 payments of $69.50.
  • 6% sales tax, which means that the price is increased by 6%, that is, the previous amount is multiplied by 1.06.

Hence, the cost is given by:

C = 1.06 x (150 + 12 x 69.50) = 1043.04.

The computer will cost $1,043.04.
