Answer:
#15) B. 30 mn^5
#17) B. 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
<h2>#15:</h2>
The area of a trapezoid is given in the formula: 1/2(a + b) * h, where a is the length of the top of the trapezoid, b is the length of the bottom of the trapezoid, and h is the height of the trapezoid.
All of these measurements are given so all that you need to do is to substitute these values into the formula.
Substitute 3 for a, 9 for b, and 5 for h.
Solve inside the parentheses first. Add 3 and 9.
Multiply 12 and 1/2 together.
Multiply 6 and 5.
We need to figure out if the area is to the 5th or 6th power. When we added 3 and 9 together, we combined like terms so the exponent stayed to the 3rd power.
After multiplying this ^3 by the 5mn^2, the exponent becomes to the 5th power because you add exponents when multiplying.
Therefore the final answer is B. 30 mn^5.

When going down from 32 to 8 to 2, you can see that each number is being divided by 4.
32 / 4 = 8...
8 / 4 = 2...
So to find the next number in this sequence you would divide 2 by 4.
The answer is B. 1/2.
Answer:
Each goal gives 5 points and a penalty costs 7 points.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a penalty cost = x points
And a goal gives = y points
Ben makes 7 goals and 2 penalties ending the game with 21 points,
7y - 2x = 21 --------(1)
Alyssa makes 10 goals and 8 penalties ending the game with (-6) points,
10y - 8x = -6
5y - 4x = -3 --------(2)
Equation (1) multiplied by 2, then subtracted from equation (2),
(5y - 4x) - 2(7y - 2x) = -3 - 2(21)
5y - 4x - 14y + 4x = -3 - 42
-9y = -45
y = 5
From equation (1)
7(5) - 2x = 21
35 - 2x = 21
2x = 35 - 21
2x = 14
x = 7
Therefore, each goal gives 5 points and a penalty costs 7 points.
For this case we have the following system of equations:

To solve, we clear "x" from the second equation:

We substitute "x" in the first equation:

We clear the value of the variable "y":

We look for the value of the variable "x":

Thus, the solution of the system is given by:

Answer:

Option D
Y is the number of movies
x is the number of hours
It takes 2 hours per movie
Thus:
y = x/2
2y = x
x - 2y = 0
The answer is C
That graph would be non-linear
