Answer:
This task would be especially well-suited for instructional purposes. Students will benefit from a class discussion about the slope, y-intercept, x-intercept, and implications of the restricted domain for interpreting more precisely what the equation is modeling.
One potential confusion students may have follows from the subtle difference between what the car is doing and the idea of slope as the ratio between the change in vertical distance on the graph and the change in horizontal distance on the graph. Because the car is traveling one mile on a down-hill slope, the situation could be represented as a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 5,280 ft and a leg of 250 ft; using the Pythagorean Theorem they would find that the other leg is approximately 5,274 ft. Following through on this interpretation, a student might conclude that the car travels a horizontal distance of approximately 5,274 ft for every 250 ft in vertical distance and arrive at a slope of approximately -0.047. While this is, in some sense, the slope of the hill, it is not the slope of the function as described. This interpretation yields numbers that are very close to the situation described in the task, yet conceptually different since the distance traveled by the car would now be expressed in terms of horizontal distance traveled as opposed to distance along the slope of the hill to compute the elevation. If students do indeed pursue this line of reasoning, the task provides an opportunity to compare and contrast the graph of the function and what it represents with a drawing of the hill and the vertical and horizontal distances traversed with each mile down the slope.

Answer:
The bottom option for ttm
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of the left-hand cylinder is less than the volume of the right-hand cylinder.
The value is 5.48 or 5 inches because the parallelograms have equal opposite sides, so therefore the opposite angles are equal too so the
sinx=5.6/10
x=34
then sin34=h/9.8
h=5 inches.
Answer: 7.22
(note: this is a result after rounding. The result before rounding was 7.21875)
========================================================
Explanation:
Given Set of Values = {22, 16, 39, 35, 19, 34, 20, 26}
Add up the values: 22+16+39+35+19+34+20+26 = 211
Divide that sum by 8 as there are 8 values: 211/8 = 26.375
The mean is 26.375
Now subtract the mean from each data value. Apply the absolute value to ensure the difference is never negative
|22 - 26.375| = 4.375
|16 - 26.375| = 10.375
|39 - 26.375| = 12.625
|35 - 26.375| = 8.625
|19 - 26.375| = 7.375
|34 - 26.375| = 7.625
|20 - 26.375| = 6.375
|26 - 26.375| = 0.375
Add up those results
4.375+10.375+12.625+8.625+7.375+7.625+6.375+0.375 = 57.75
Then divide by 8
57.75/8 = 7.21875
The mean absolute deviation of the prices is 7.21875
Rounded to two decimal places, it is 7.22
Since we're talking about money, it makes sense to round to the nearest penny.
Answer:
2 and 13/60
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we must create a common denominator in the fractions. For the given denominators, it would be 60, so 3/4 would be 45/60 and 8/15 would be 32/60. From here, we can just subtract and get 2 and 13/60.
Hope this helps!
