Answer: PART A.

y= remaining height of candle

x= rate the candle burns down in inches per hour

8= original height of candle

the function would be y=8- 0.5x because the candle starts at a height of 8 feet and loses half an inch per hour.

You can use this function to create ordered pairs by putting in number at x which indicates the time:

x=1

y=8- (.5×1)= 7.5

(1, 7.5)

you can then do this for other numbers and get:

(2, 7.0) (3, 6.5) (4, 6.0) (5, 5.5) (6, 5.0)

PART B.

This equation is a function because all of the x-values had different y-values as seen in the coordinates (1, 7.5) (2, 7.0) (3, 6.5) (4, 6.0) (5, 5.5) (6, 5.0)  

PART C.

If the rate was 0.4 inches an hour, it would still be a function because the rate is the only thing that changed making the new function y= 8- 0.4x.This equation would make coordinates of (0,8) (1, 7.6) (2, 7.2) (3, 6.8) and so on with each x value creating a different y value.

Step-by-step explanation: hope this helps

What is the interquartile range of the data set? Enter the answer in the box. Key: 1|5 means 15
Aneli [31]
First of all we have to arrange the data in ascending order as shown below:

28, 40, 43, 43, 45, 50, 50

Total number of values = 7

Since the number of values is odd, the median will be the middle value i.e. 4th value which is 43. Median divides the data in two halves:

1st Half = 28, 40, 43
2nd Half = 45, 50, 50

Q1 or the First Quartile is the middle value of the lower or 1st half which is 40.
Q3 or the Third Quartile is the middle value of the upper or second half, which is 50.

IQR or the Inter Quartile Range is the difference of Q3 and Q1.

So, IQR= Q3 – Q1 = 50 – 40 = 10

Thus, IQR for the given data is 10

Mr.Burn's class is taking aa field trip to the planetatium. The trip will $27 for each student. There are 18 students in his cla
mojhsa [17]
$27 x 18 students = 486 actual cost.

$30 x 10 students = 300 estimated total cost using compatible numbers.
$20 x 20 students = 400 estimated total cost using compatible numbers. (better option because it is nearer to the actual cost)

Compatible numbers are numbers that can easily be multiplied or divided using mental computation.

Compatible number for 27 and 18 can be: 30 and 20 OR 20 and 20 OR 30 and 10 OR 20 and 10.

However, there is a rule in multiplying the compatible numbers, when one number is increased the other number must be decreased.

So 27 can be increased to 30; while 18 can be decreased to 10 to get a product of 300.

27 can be decreased to 20; while 18 can be increased to 20 to get a product of 400.
