<h3>Answer: 2</h3>

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

Explanation:

x = number of years

y = height in feet

The equation for the first tree is

y = x+3

The slope is 1 to represent a rate of 1 ft per year of growth. The y intercept of 3 is the starting height. Refer to y = mx+b form.

For the second tree, the equation is:

y = 0.5x+4

This time we have a slope of 0.5 and a y intercept of 4.

Apply substitution to solve for x

y = x+3

0.5x+4 = x+3

0.5x-x = 3-4

-0.5x = -1

x = -1/(-0.5)

x = 2

The trees will be the same height in <u> 2 </u> years.

What will that height be? Plug x = 2 into either equation to find y. We should get the same y value.

y = x+3

y = 2+3

y = 5

Or we could say

y = 0.5x+4

y = 0.5*2+4

y = 1+4

y = 5

We've shown that both equations lead to y = 5 when x = 2. This means that at the 2 year mark, both trees are 5 feet tall. This helps confirm we have the correct x value.

1.32:3 1/7 =(1.4y): 5/6

alina1380 [7]

After solving $1.32:3 \frac{1}{7}=(1.4y):\frac{5}{6}$ we get y=0.24

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the ratio: $1.32:3 \frac{1}{7}=(1.4y):\frac{5}{6}$ and find value of y

Solving:

$1.32:3 \frac{1}{7}=(1.4y):\frac{5}{6}$

Converting fractions into decimals

$1.32:3.14=(1.4y):0.83$

Ratio can be written as:

$\frac{1.32}{3.14}=\frac{1.4y}{0.83}$

Now cross multiply

$1.32*0.83=1.4y*3.14$

$1.09=4.39y$

$y=\frac{1.09}{4.39}$

$y=0.24$

So, after solving $1.32:3 \frac{1}{7}=(1.4y):\frac{5}{6}$ we get y=0.24

1.work out 1/2 + 5/6

Serggg [28]

1. First find the LCD of the two fractions.
They share the denominator 6.
Turn 1/2 into a fraction with a denominator of 6.
2*3=6, so 1*3=3
3/6
Now add.
Leave denominators alone, but add numerators.
3+5=8
8/6
Now simplify.
Divide both by 2.
8/2=4
6/2=3
4/3 is your answer or 1 1/3
2. Multiply straight across.
3*2=6
4*7=28
6/28
Simplify
You get 3/14 as your answer.

The figure shown is a kite. What is the x-coordinate of point P?

tresset_1 [31]

The answer to the above question can be determined as -

Let the point on the left side of P be Q, thus coordinates of Q are (a,1) and point on the right side of P be R, thus coordinates of R will be, (a+4, 1).

Now, it given that, between x coordinates of Q and R is 4, and it can be seen that they are getting divided into half.

So, the x coordinate of P will be - a + $\frac{4}{2}$ i.e. a + 2

<u>Thus, the x coordinate of P will be a +2.</u>

Answer:

The answer is "1.30".

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion of population $=0.20$

Ratio sample $=\frac{70}{300}=\frac{7}{30}=0.23$

Statistics of the test:

$\to Z=\frac{(0.23-0.2)}{\sqrt{(\frac{0.2\times(1-0.2)}{300})}}\\\\$

$=1.30$

I am confused on how to do this? please help!

IceJOKER [234]

You would take random numbers preferable smaller ones such as -1,0,1,2
You would put those in the place of x
Then you would square the value of x. After that you subtract 4. Whatever you come out with is your y value. Then you put the x value on the x axis and from that point count up or down to the number you need on the y axis. Together that would be your point
