9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a.  y = -5x

Step-by-step explanation:

The different signs of x and y tell you the constant of proportionality will be negative (eliminating choices <em>b</em> and <em>d</em>).

A quick trial of the given values shows that choice <em>c</em> is incorrect, and that choice <em>a</em> is correct.

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

7.5 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The Thomas family went for a Sunday drive.

Before they left, Mr. Thomas noticed the gas tank was ¾ full.

When they returned home the gas tank was ⅓ full.

Total capacity of the gas tank = 18 gallons

<u>Question asked:</u>

How many gallons of gas did the car use on the drive?

<u>Solu</u>tion:

Before they left, quantity of gas in the tank = \frac{3}{4} \times18=\frac{54}{4} =13.5\ gallons

When they returned, quantity of gas in the tank = \frac{1}{3} \times18=\frac{18}{3} =6\ gallons

Quantity of gas used on the drive = 13.5 - 6 = 7.5 gallons

Therefore, 7.5 gallons of gas used on the drive by Thomas family.

Fed [463]

Answer:

180 Vertical angles are opposite angles that share only a vertex.  Since ∠3 is adjacent to both ∠1 and ∠2, this means that ∠3 shares a side and vertex with both of these angles.

This means that ∠3 and ∠1 form a straight line; this makes them a linear pair, which makes their sum 180°.

Help me with this 1,2,3. For each sequence, Determine with whether it appears to be arithmetic If it does find a common differen
pshichka [43]

Problem 1

<h3>Answer: Arithmetic, common difference = -4</h3>

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

Explanation:

Pick any term of the sequence, and subtract off the previous term to find that,

  • term2 - term1 = -12 - (-8) = -12 + 8 = -4
  • term3 - term2 = -16 - (-12) = -16 + 12 = -4
  • term4 - term3 = -20 - (-16) = -20 + 16 = -4

Each time we get the same result, so that means we have an arithmetic sequence with common difference -4

This indicates that adding -4 to each term, or subtracting 4 from each term, will generate the next one.

Eg: term2 = term1 - 4 = -8-4 = -12.

==========================================================

Problem 2

<h3>Answer: Arithmetic, common difference = 5</h3>

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

Explanation:

Similar to problem 1, this sequence is also arithmetic because we add on 5 to each term to get the next one

  • -6+5 = -1
  • -1+5 = 4
  • 4+5 = 9

Or you could subtract adjacent terms as done in problem 1, to find that the common difference is 5.

==========================================================

Problem 3

<h3>Answer: Not arithmetic</h3>

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

Explanation:

Unlike the previous two problems, this sequence is not arithmetic.

We can see that

  • term2 - term1 = 12 - 3 = 9
  • term3 - term2 = 48 - 12 = 36

The gaps of 9 and 36 aren't the same. We need the same common difference between any adjacent terms to have an arithmetic sequence.

This sequence is instead geometric because

  • term2/term1 = 12/3 = 4
  • term3/term2 = 48/12 = 4
  • term4/term3 = 192/48 = 4

Each quotient is 4, showing the common ratio is 4. To find the next term, we multiply the current term by 4. So the next term after 192 would be 4*192 = 768, then 4*768 = 3072 is next, and so on.

INFO: The chairs are evenly spaced around
lana66690 [7]

Answer: About 72 feet

The more accurate value is roughly 71.7260397 feet (however, this value isn't fully exact either).

======================================================

Explanation:

Check out the diagram below. It's effectively the same diagram your teacher provided, but I've added points M and N. I've left out any unnecessary lines.

  • M = center of the circle
  • N = location where the cable is anchored to the ground

We're told that "(the length of cable from) E to the ground is 35 feet", so this is the red portion of cable that I've marked this as NE = 35, ie segment NE is 35 feet long. We're also told that NF = 40 feet, which is also shown in red.

The blue portions are chords of the circle. We're given one chord as LE = 80 ft, while the other chord JF is what we want to find out.

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

What we need to find is the radius of this circle. Right away, it's not clear what the radius is; however, we can use the chord LE = 80 to help find it.

It turns out that the chord length c is connected to the radius r and central angle theta like so:

c = 2*r*sin(0.5*theta)

where theta must be in radian mode. The central angle subtends the arc that forms the chord in question.

If we started at point L, and counted the number of spaces to get to E while going clockwise, then we can see that there are 5 spaces

Those five spaces could be written as

  1. The jump from L to A
  2. The jump from A to B
  3. The jump from B to C
  4. The jump from C to D
  5. The jump from D to E

Or you could mark it as such on the diagram for a visual reference. Overall, the circle has been cut into 12 equal slices. So going from L to E, going clockwise, will have us take up 5/12 of the full circle.

There are 2pi radians in a full circle, meaning the central angle LME is (5/12)*2pi = 5pi/6 radians.

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

Plug theta = 5pi/6 and c = 80 into the formula mentioned. Isolate the radius.

c = 2*r*sin(0.5*theta)

80 = 2*r*sin(0.5*5pi/6)

80 = 2*r*sin(5pi/12)

80 = 2*r*0.9659258

80 = 2*0.9659258*r

80 = 1.9318516r

1.9318516r = 80

r = 80/1.931 8516

r = 41.4110483

The radius is approximate. The radius is in feet. Make sure your calculator is in radian mode.

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

Now that we know the radius, we can determine how long chord JF is.

The central angle for chord JF is angle JMF

If we start at J and go to F, along the shorter path, then we've gone 4 spaces. This is 4/12 = 1/3 of the full circle. So the radian measure of angle JMF is (1/3)*2pi = 2pi/3 radians.

So,

c = 2*r*sin(0.5*theta)

c = 2*41.4110483*sin(0.5*2pi/3)

c = 71.7260397

Chord JF is roughly 71.7260397 feet long.

When rounding to the nearest foot, that's about 72 feet.
