Suppose that the weight (in pounds) of an airplane is a linear function of the amount of fuel (in gallons) in its tank. When car

rying gallons of fuel, the airplane weighs pounds. When carrying gallons of fuel, it weighs pounds. How much does the airplane weigh if it is carrying gallons of fuel?

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that the weight (in pounds) of an airplane is a linear function of the amount of fuel (in gallons) in its tank. When carrying 15 gallons of fuel, the airplane weighs 2187 pounds. When carrying 35 gallons of fuel, it weighs 2303 pounds. How much does the airplane weigh if it is carrying 50 gallons of fuel?

----

You have two points relating fuel and weight.

(15,2187) and (35,2303)

------------

slope = (2303-2187)/(35-15) = 5.8

----

intercept = ?

2187 = 5.8*15 + b

b = 2100

-------

Equation:

f(x) = 5.8x + 2100

---

f(50) = 2390 lbs.

Input, x 4 8 12 16 20 output y 21 37 53 69 85 what is the equation
BigorU [14]

Answer:

The equation is y = 4x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation to this table, pick two ordered pairs and use the slope formula to find the slope. For this we'll use (4, 21) and (8, 37).

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (37 - 21)(8 - 4)

m = 16/4

m = 4

Now we can use that slope along with any point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 21 = 4(x - 4)

y - 21 = 4x - 16

y = 4x + 5

Kipish [7]

Answer:

f(1) = 7

f(2) = 18

f(3) = 31

f(4) = 46

f(5) = 63

f(6) = 82

f(7) = 103

f(8) = 126

f(9) = 151

f(10) = 178

Step-by-step explanation:

f(1) = (-1)^2+8(1)-2 = 7

18  The 2 trapezia formed by midpoint are similar so we can write

19/24 = x / 19

x = 19^2 / 24 = 15.04 

19.   360 degrees . This is true for all polygons

Is my answer right? I think it’s A, but I don’t want to get it wrong.

The answer is 16 if you solve it, because the square root of 64 is 8 and 2 * 8 = 16
