The slope of the line is 2. This is because to find the slope of the line, you must know that slope= rise/run. The rise on this graph is 4 and the run is 2. Therefore, the equation is slope=4/2, and that simplifies to 2.
(3/7) and (7/15) are oak.
(2/3)(7/15)(3/7)T are new oaks
(1/3)(7/15)(3/7)T are old oaks
------
(1/3)(7/15)(3/7)T = 160
(1/15)T = 160
I believe 160 x 15 - 2,400.
My best guess is there are 2,400 trees in the forest.
Answer:
a. 5 sets of tires
b. 16 times
Step-by-step explanation:
total distance commuted by the truck = 160,000 miles
a.tires of the truck are changed after every 40,000 miles
40,000 to 80,000 to 120,000 to 160,000 he will change his tires four times assuming he started his journey with the new tires. so, he needs uses a total of 5 sets of tires for the whole journey.
b. changes oil every 10,000 miles then to travel 160,000 miles
=
= 16 times in whole journey
Answer:
1500(1.02)^x + 600x is how much he has in savings at the end of x years where it be in the bank or elsewhere
Step-by-step explanation:
x is in years
Let's just think about the investment of 1500 in an account earning 2% per year.
Before the years even start, you are at 1500 ( present value).
The next year (year 1), it would be 1500*.02+1500=(1500)(1.02).
The next year (year 2), it would be 1500(1.02)(.02)+1500(1.02)=1500(1.02)(1.02).
We keep multiplying factors of (1.02) each time.
So for year x, you would have saved 1500(1.02)^x.
Now we are saving 50 cash per month. Per year this would be 12(50) since there are 12 months in a year. 12(50)=600.
So the first year you would have 600.
The second year you would have 600(2) or 1200.
The third year you would have 600(3) or 1800.
Let's put this together:
1500(1.02)^x + 600x
If you compare table values to answer choices, you can see right away that several don't work. The number of centimeters is greater than the number of inches, so adding to or multiplying the number of centimeters by some number more than 1 will not give you the smalller number that is inches.
While it may work for the first number (5 inches) to add 7.7 to get the first number of centimeters (12.7), you have to know that you can only add like to like. You can only add inches to inches (getting a result of inches), or centimeters to centimeters (getting a result of centimeters). From the point of view of the units involved, it is <em>nonsensical</em> to add a pure number to a number of inches and expect to get a number of centimeters.
So, we're down to the second choice:
- The number of inches is multiplied by 2.54 to find the number of centimeters.
_____
To find the pattern in the table, you can ...
- observe that the inch values differ by 1
- observe that the centimeter values differ by 2.54
- realize that the constant differences mean the relation between inches and centimeters is linear, and that a change in an inch value of 1 inch is multiplied by 2.54 to find the corresponding change in centimeter value.
