At the beginning of a snowstorm, Grayson had 10 inches of snow on his lawn. The snow then began to fall at a constant rate of 0.

5 inches per hour. Assuming no snow was melting, how much snow would Grayson have on his lawn 3 hours after the snow began to fall? How much snow would Grayson have on his lawn after t hours of snow falling?

Answer:

  • Grayson had 10 inches of snow in his lawn
  • the snow falls at a constant rate of 0.5 inches per hour
  • no snow was melting
  • the snow has fallen for 3 hours  

Let y be the height of the snow in the lawn

Grayson had 10 inches at the beginning (at t=0) so y= 10

3 hours passed so y= 10 + 3*0.5 = 11.5 inches

Grayson had 11.5 inches after three hours

Assuming that the snow continued to fall for an unkhown time t

y = 0.5*t + 10

we had 10 at the beginning so we add 10 (+10)

the snow is growing by 0.5 inches in the single hour so we multiply by 0.5

t is the time and it can 4, 5, 6 ...... hours

Just like a function :

  • 0.5 is the slope
  • t is the variable
  • 10 is the y-intercept

The width of a rectangle is 7 meters greater than its length. If the area of the rectangle is 170 square meters, write the quadr
Luden [163]
It would be (x)(x+7)=170
If you want it solved, then you would get:
x^{2} +7x-170=0
(x+17)(x-10)=0
And since you can't have a negative length (-17), x=10
So your side lengths would be 10 and 17 (10+7), which would give you an area of 170.
Hope that helps.

I am assuming you do not mean The length of a triangle and you mean The length of a rectangle because the answer you given are the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle. With that said, the answer is D<span>.2w+2*(3w)112

The perimeter of a rectangle can be found by the following equation:

2L + 2W = P
OR 
P = 2L + 2W
The equation </span>P = 2L + 2W is read perimeter = 2 times Length + 2 times width

The Question:
<span>The length of a rectangle is three times its width.if the perimeter is at its most 112 centimeters ,which is the greatest possible value of the the width.
</span>
The length of a rectangle
This means the perimeter 

is
The word is means to use an equal sign

three times its width
This means 3 times w or 3w 
The w = width

perimeter is at its most 112
This means <=
<= means less than or equal to

Ok so lets look at our equation 

2L + 2W = P
2w + 2(3w) <= 112

15 less than a number tripled is equivalent to the difference of the same number and 12
Nitella [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number

3x - 15 = (x - 12)×-4 or (12-x)×-4

3x - 15 = -4x + 48 or -48 + 4x

7x = 63, x = 9 or

33 = x
