Answer:

36 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Dylan just started a running plan where he runs 14 miles the first

            week and then increases the number of miles he runs by 10% each

            week.

To find - If he keeps up this plan for 11 weeks, how many total miles would  

              Dylan have run ?

Proof -

1st week = 14 miles

2nd week = 14 + 10% of 14 = 14 + 1.4 = 15.4

3rd week = 15.4 + 10% of 15.4 = 15.4 + 1.54 = 16.94

4th week = 16.94 + 10% of 16.94 = 16.94 + 1.694 = 18.634

5th week = 18.634 + 10% of 18.634 = 18.634 + 1.8634 = 20.4974

6th week = 20.4974 + 10% of 20.4974 = 20.4974 + 2.04974 = 22.54714

7th week = 22.54714 + 10% of 22.54714 = 22.54714 + 2.254714 = 24.801857

8th week = 24.801857  + 10% of 24.801857  = 24.801857  + 2.4801857  = 27.2820427

9th week = 27.2820427  + 10% of 27.2820427  = 27.2820427+ 2.72820427  = 30.01024697

10th week = 30.01024697  + 10% of 30.01024697  = 30.01024697 + 3.001024697  = 33.01127167

11th week = 33.01127167  + 10% of 33.01127167  = 33.01127167 + 3.301127167  = 36.31239884 ≈ 36

∴ we get

Total miles Dylan would run = 36 miles.

A rectangle has vertices (8, 6), (4, 6), (8, −4), and (4, −4). What are the coordinates after dilating from the origin by a scal
Mama L [17]

Answer: (12,9), (6,9), (12,-6) and (6,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The coordinates of the original rectangle are  (8, 6), (4, 6), (8, −4), and (4, −4).  We know that the coordinates of the image after dilation  from the origin by a scale factor of k is given by:_

(xy)\rightarrow(kx,ky)

Then, the coordinates of the image after dilation from the origin by a scale factor of 1.5 are given by:_

(8, 6)→(8\times1.5,6\times1.5)=(12,9)

(4, 6)→(4\times1.5,6\times1.5)=(6,9)

(8, −4) →(8\times1.5,-4\times1.5)=(12,-6)

(4, −4)→(4\times1.5,-4\times1.5)=(6,-6)

Hence, the coordinates of the image after dilation from the origin by a scale factor of 1.5 are (12,9), (6,9), (12,-6) and (6,-6).

What is the expression in factored form? 4x^2+11x+6<br><br>Show work please!!
Irina18 [472]
To solve this I'm going to split the middle term.
First multiply the first and last terms:
24x^2
So find two numbers that multiply to 24x^2 and add to 11x.
This would be 3x and 8x
Rewrite the problem as
4x^2+3x+8x+6
Take the first and 3rd and 2nd and 4th terms
4x^2 and 8x
and
3x and 6
Factor by grouping
Take out a 4x for the first group to get 4x(x+2)
Take out a 3 for the 2nd group to get 3(x+2)
Rewrite as (4x+3)(x+2)
Hope this helps.

Write an equation in slope intercept form to model the situation.
lozanna [386]

Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{2}x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is a way of modeling a quadratic equation, where the coefficient of the term (x) is the slope (change) of the line, and the constant is the y-intercept. In essence;( y=mx+b ), where (m) is the slope and (b) is the y-intercept.

The slope of the given line is (-\frac{1}{2}) because, this is the rate at which the candle burns, therefore, it is the change in the line. The change is (\frac{1}{2}) because this is the rate of burning, the slope is also negative since the height is decreasing. (10) is the y-intercept because it is the starting height of the candle. One will take the time since the start of burning the candle, multiply it by the slope, and add it to the y-intercept to find the current height of the candle. Therefore, the equation is (y=-\frac{1}{2}x + 10), where the output (y) is the current height of the candle, and the input (x) is the time at which the measruement was taken.

Which statement below compares the decimals correctly? (3 points) A 0.63 &lt; 0.48 B 0.48 = 0.63 C 0.63 &gt; 0.48 D 0.48 &gt; 0.
Bad White [126]

Answer:

(c)\ 0.63 > 0.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

0.63 and 0.48

Required

Which compares them correctly

(a)\ 0.63 < 0.48

This is incorrect because 0.63 is greater

(b)\ 0.48 = 0.63

This is also incorrect because 0.63 is greater

(c)\ 0.63 > 0.48

This is also correct because 0.63 is greater

(d)\ 0.48 > 0.63

This is also incorrect because 0.63 is greater
