PART A:

Solve for the slope by solving change in y over change in x. We have (3-(-5)/(-2-2) = 8/-4=-2

PART B:

Change in to y=mx+b: -5y = -2x-10. Divide all terms by -5: y = 2/5x + 2. The slope is 2/5 and the y-intercept is 2.

PART C:

Remembering from part a that m=change in y/change in x, we have the equation: -4=1-(-9)/0-x. If we simplify, we have -4=10/0-x. If we multiply both sides from 1/10 we have: -2/5 = -x. So, x = 2/5.

PART D:

We can use point-slope form first:

y-5=-7(x+1). Then we solve the equation! y-5 = -7x-7. After adding 5 to both sides, we have the equation: y=-7x-2.

A cup of coffee contains about 100 mg of caffeine. Caffeine is metabolized and leaves the body at a continuous rate of about 12%

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

a. $A = C_{0}(1-x)^t\\x: percentage\ of \ caffeine\ metabolized\\$

b. $\frac{dA}{dt}= -11.25 \frac{mg}{h}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need tot find a general expression for the amount of caffeine remaining in the body after certain time. As the problem states that every hour x percent of caffeine leaves the body, we must substract that percentage from the initial quantity of caffeine, by each hour passing. That expression would be:

$A= C_{0}(1-x)^t\\t: time \ in \ hours\\x: percentage \ of \ caffeine\ metabolized\\$

Then, to find the amount of caffeine metabolized per hour, we need to differentiate the previous equation. Following the differentiation rules we get:

$\frac{dA}{dt} =C_{0}(1-x)^t \ln (1-x)\\\frac{dA}{dt} =100*0.88\ln(0.88)\\\frac{dA}{dt} =-11.25 \frac{mg}{h}$

The rate is negative as it represents the amount of caffeine leaving the body at certain time.

Please help me with #4 <br> (10 points )

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

40 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a right isosceles triangle having lengths of two sides 12 feet and 16 feet.

<em>Since, the triangle is an isosceles triangle i.e. two sides of the triangle are equal.</em>

That is, the three sides of the triangle are 12 feet, 12 feet and 16 feet.

We know that, Perimeter of a triangle = Sum of the sides

Thus, Perimeter of the given triangle = 12 + 12 + 16 = 24 + 16 = 40 feet.

Hence, the total length of the fencing needed is 40 feet.
