A rectangular building with a square base is being designed to minimize heat loss. The building designers state that the volume

of the building must be exactly 4000 m^3. Write an equation for y, the height of the building, in terms of x, the length and width of the base.

Answer:

y = 4000/x²

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the building is expressed as;

V = x²y where;

x is the length and width of the base.

y is the height of the building

Given

Volume V = 4000m³

Substitute the given volume into the equation as shown;

4000 = x²y

Make y the subject of the formula by dividing both sides by x²

4000/x² = x²y/x²

4000/x² = y

Rearrange

y = 4000/x²

Hence equation for y, the height of the building, in terms of x, the length and width of the base is expressed as y = 4000/x²

Dilation with scale factor of 3= E.
translation 3 units up= D.
translation 3 units right= B.
horizontal stretch by a factor of 3= A.
vertical stretch by a factor of 3= C.

translation= its move places, so you are adding
stretch= it changes shape. you can either stretch it horizontally or vertically so you are multiplying

going up and down/ vertically is the y-axis
going left and right/horizontally is the x-axis

hope this helped!

A Walmart truck driver estimates that it will take him 12 hours to drive 1152 km. After 5 hours, he has driven 520 km.
san4es73 [151]

(a) He would drive 96 km in an hour because 1152 divided by 12 is 96

(b) He is technically on schedule because he is driving 104 km per hour, instead of 96, so if he keeps driving at the same rate, he should get there in under 12 hours

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

A discrete function is a function with distinct and separate values. This means that the values of the functions are not connected with each other (this will be shown as a bunch of points that are not connected together).
