Answer:

We conclude that the person is saving $60 dollars per week.

Hence, option C is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the table chart

Week Saving Money

2 60

4 120

6 180

8 240

We know to determine the slope to find the rate of change.

Taking the points (2, 60) and (4, 120)

Rate of change = Slope = [y₂ - y₁] / [x₂ - x₁]

= [120 - 60] / [4 - 2]

= 60 / 2

= $30 dollars per week

Now, taking the points (4, 120) and (6, 180)

Rate of change = Slope = [180 - 120] / [6 - 4]

= [60] / [2]

= $30 dollars per week

Now, taking the points (6, 180) and (8, 240)

Rate of change = Slope = [240 - 180] / [8 - 6]

= [60] / [2]

= $30 dollars per week

This concludes that the rate of change is contant i.e. $30 dollars per week

Therefore, we conclude that the person is saving $60 dollars per week.

Hence, option C is true.

How would I solve this Rational Equation? Solve for all values of x.

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

I like to put these in the form f(x) = 0. We can do that by subtracting the right side. Common factors can be cancelled from numerator and denominator, provided they are not zero.

$\dfrac{7}{x+3}+\dfrac{3}{x-3}-\dfrac{x}{x-3}=0\\\\ \dfrac{7(x-3)+(x+3)(3-x)}{(x+3)(x-3)}=0\\\\\dfrac{(x-3)(4-x)}{(x-3)(x+3)}=0\\\\ \dfrac{4-x}{x+3}=0\qquad x\ne3\\\\x=4 \qquad\text{equate the numerator to zero, add $x$}$

_____

If you leave the numerator as (x-3)(4-x), then there are two values of x that make it zero. Because x=3 makes the equation "undefined", it cannot be considered to be a solution.

If there are 12 jars of jelly in one box, and we have 110 boxes
we will do the following operation:
12 x 110=1320 jars of jelly

One shape is approaching a poor from the east traveling west at 15 mph and its presently 3 miles east east of the port I second

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

DL/dt = 17 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The ships and the port shape a right triangle

Ship going west ( x-direction) is traveling at 15 mph

Ship going north (y-direction) is traveling at 10 mph

The distance L between ships is:

L² = x² + y²

Tacking derivatives on both sides of the equation with respect to time

we get

2*L*DL/dt = 2*x*Dx/dt + 2*y*Dy/dt (1)

In that equation we know:

Dx/dt = 15 mph

Dy/dt = 10 mph

At the moment ship traveling from the east is at 3 miles from the port

then x = 3 m and the other ship is at 4 miles north

then by Pythagoras theorem

L = √ 3² + 4² L = 5

By substitution in equation 1

2*5*DL/dt = 2*3*15 + 2*4*10

10* DL/dt = 90 + 80

DL/dt = 170 / 10

DL/dt = 17 mph
