Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{20}x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given that the present height of the sand dune is 5 ft and it is eroding 1 ft in every 20 years. If x represent the number of years and y represents the height of the sand dune. Hence we can consider the coordinates be (0,5) (20,4) (40,3) (60,2) (80,1) (100,0)

Let us evaluate the equation of the line plotted on these coordinates

Here we can see the y intercept is 5

Let us find the slope

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\m=\frac{5-4}{0-20}\\m=\frac{1}{-20}\\m=-\frac{1}{20}

The equation in slope intercept form is given as

y=mx+c

where c is y intercept i.e. 5

y=-\frac{1}{20}x+5

Hence this is our required equation

y = -1/2x + 5 should be your equation because it is 5 ft above sea level and its eroding, or going down, 1 ft per 20 years. So every year, the sand dune erodes 1/20 ft more.

Following are simplifications to the given expression:

Given:

\bold{(3x-1)(x-3)}

To find:

simplify=?

Solution:

\to \bold{(3x-1)(x-3)}\\\\\to \bold{(3x^2-9x-x+3)}\\\\\to \bold{(3x^2-10x+3)}\\\\

Therefore, the final answer is "\bold{3x^2-10+3}".

After you've calibrated the sprayer to know your application rate in gallons per acre, divide that number into the gallons applied with each tankful to find how many acres each tankful covers. Then, multiply the acres per tank by the herbicide needed per acre to find the herbicide to put in each tankful.

Hello there,

From Point A to Point B Peter traveled roughly 30 miles in 30 minutes.

From Point B to Point C Peter traveled roughly 130 miles in 2 hours and 30 minutes.

From Point C he didn't move in distance but the hours moved so c is out.

From Point C to Point D, Peter traveled roughly 180 miles in 3 hours.

Therefore D Peter had the fastest interval at D.
