Hello!
On the graph, when the X values are between 4 and 8, they are being constant. The X values between 4 and 8 are constant because the line shown between 4 and 8 on the graph show the line as a straight line. It is not going up nor is it going down, so you can conclude that the X values are not increasing or decreasing.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving for x means you have to factor. First factor out the GCF of 2 to get:
and now we'll factor using the regular old method of ac and then factoring by grouping. In our polynomial, a = 3, b = 1, c = -6. Therefore, a times c is 3 * -6 which is -18. We need some combinations of the factors of 18 that will add to give us 1, the b term in the middle. The factors of 18 are:
1, 18
2, 9
3, 6 and that's it. Hm...it seems that won't work, so let's throw this into the quadratic formula, going back to the original and a = 6, b = 2 and c = -12:
and
and
and
and
which finally simplifies to
No wonder that didn't factor using the traditional method of factoring! We could have found that out by finding first the value of the discriminant, but oh well!
Answer:
295 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that Speedy the Sloth drinks tea at a steady rate of 2/7 cups per hour.
Yesterday she drank 1 cup and today she drank 17/42 of a cup more than yesterday. This means today she drank 1 + 17/42 cups.
Time taken to drink 2/7 of a cup = 1 hour = 60 minutes
Time taken to drink 1 cup =
minutes
Time taken to drink 1+17/42 cups =
minutes
Since she drinks tea as long as she stay awakes. This means, she stayed awake for 295 minutes today.
