natita [175]2 years ago

6 0

Answer:

the slope is -2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for y.

2x + 5y + 1 = 0

5y = -2x - 1

y = -2/5 x - 1/5

Compare to

y = mx + b, where m is the slope.

m = -2/5

Answer: the slope is -2/5

A child lets go of a balloon that rises at a constant rate. 5 seconds after it was released, the balloon is at a height of 16 fe

Mama L [17]

Answer:

1. h = 2.4t + 4

2. 4 feet

3. 220 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write a linear model for the height, h, of the balloon as a function of the number of seconds, s that it has been raising.

Since the balloon rises at a constant rate, we find this rate by using the initial and final values of height and time at 5 seconds and 20 seconds respectively which are 12 feet and 52 feet respectively.

So, rate = gradient of line

= change in height/change in time

= (52 ft - 16 ft)/(20 s - 5 s)

= 36 ft/15 s

= 2.4 ft/s

Now the equation of the line which shows the height is gotten from

(h - h')/(t - t') = rate

Using h'= 16 feet and t' = 5 s, we have

(h - 16)/(t - 5) = 2.4

h - 16 = 2.4(t - 5)

h - 16 = 2.4t - 12

h = 2.4t - 12 + 16

h = 2.4t + 4

where h is the height of the balloon above the ground and t is the time spent in the air in seconds.

2. What was the height of the balloon initially before the child let it go?

We obtain the initial height of the balloon before the child let go at time, t = 0 the time before the child let go.

So, substituting t = 0 into the equation for h, we have

h = 2.4t + 4

h = 2.4(0) + 4

h = 0 + 4

h = 4 feet

So, the height of the balloon before the child let go is 4 feet above the ground.

3. Use your model to predict the height of the balloon after 90 seconds.

We insert t = 90 s into the equation for h. So,

h = 2.4t + 4

h = 2.4(90) + 4

h = 216 + 4

h = 220 feet

So, the height of the balloon after 90 s is 220 feet above the ground.

In how many ways could 12 people be

laila [671]

Step-by-step explanation:

There are total 12 People

Person 1, Person 2,3,4,5,6,7, 9, 10, 11 and 12 at a round table

12 Chairs: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 and 12

Let chairs 1 and 2 be next to each other

Person 1 is at chair 1 and Person 2 is at chair 2

The rest of the people on 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 and 12 - can sit in 10! ways

Next, Person 1 and Person 2 change their positions;

Person 1 is sitting at 2 and Person 2 is sitting at 1

The rest of the people on 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 and 12 - can be rearranged in 10! ways

Therefore, total number of ways in which Person 1 and Person 2 are next to each other is: 2*10! = 7257600

As we then have to find in how many ways they are not sitting next to each other; subtract 7257600 from the total number of possible arrangements.

In circular permutation,

Total number of arrangements of n people = (n-1)!

Here the number of people is 12

Arrangement = (12-1)! = 11!= 39916800

Therefore, the number of ways Person 1 and Person 2 are not next to each other = 39916800 - 7257600 = 2659200

In 1999, total revenue of a company from music sales and licensing was $14.8 billion. It was forecasted that this number would

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

62. 84%

Step-by-step explanation:

total revenue of a company from music sales and licensing in 1999 = $14.8 billion

Foretasted total revenue of a company from music sales and licensing in 2014 = $5.5 billion

decrease in revenue of a company from music sales and licensing in 2014 from 1999 = $14.8 billion - $5.5 billion = 9.3 billion

Therefore percentage decrease in music revenue =( difference in revenue from 1999 to 2014/ revenue in 1999 ) * 100

$(9.3 \ billion/14.8 \ billion) * 100\\=> 0.6284 *100 \\=> 62.84 %\\$

percent decrease in music revenue is 62. 84%.
