Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

A constant rate of change means that for every x, y increases the same amount.

In the situation "The amount a person pays for gas compared with the number of gallons purchased ," the independent quantity, or x-value, is the number of gallons, and the dependent quantity, or y-value, is the amount paid.  Since gas has a set price per gallon, for every gallon purchased, the total amount paid goes up the same amount.  This means it has a constant rate of change.

Exterior of scalene triangle sides are 25 and 15 and x. solve x.
Lyrx [107]

-- All three sides of a scalene triangle have different lengths.
So 'x' can't be 15 and it can't be 25.

-- 'x' must be 10 or more in order to reach between the ends
of the 25 and the 15.

-- 'x' must be less than 40 in order for the 25 and the 15 to reach
between its ends. 

So the value of 'x' must satisfy these conditions:

<em>0 < x < 15</em>
<em>15 < x < 25</em>
<em>25 < x < 40</em>

Any number that satisfies these conditions is an acceptable value for 'x'.

A tree with a height of 4 ft casts a shadow 15ft long on the ground how tall is another tree that cast a shadow which is 20ft lo
wariber [46]

Height of another tree that cast a shadow which is 20ft long is 5 feet approximately

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that tree with a height of 4 ft casts a shadow 15ft long on the ground

Another tree that cast a shadow which is 20ft long

<em><u>To find: height of another tree</u></em>

We can solve this by setting up a ratio comparing the height of the tree to the height of the another tree and shadow of the tree to the shadow of the another tree

\frac{\text {height of tree}}{\text {length of shadow}}

Let us assume,

Height of tree = H_t = 4 feet

Length of shadow of tree = L_t = 15 feet

Height of another tree = H_a

Length of shadow of another tree = L_a = 20 feet

Set up a proportion comparing the height of each object to the length of the shadow,

\frac{\text {height of tree}}{\text {length of shadow of tree}}=\frac{\text { height of another tree }}{\text { length of shadow of another tree }}

\frac{H_{t}}{L_{t}}=\frac{H_{a}}{L_{a}}

Substituting the values we get,

\frac{4}{15} = \frac{H_a}{20}\\\\H_a = \frac{4}{15} \times 20\\\\H_a = 5.33

So the height of another tree is 5 feet approximately

Bess [88]
<span>The rocket that will reach a greater distance above the ground at its maximum height is y = -4x</span>² + 80x. The answer is letter B. This is because of the coefficient presented in the x² term. The number -4 is much greater than -6. Graphing these equations into a graphing paper or excel, you would get a parabola.
