B. the coefficient of x is 0.
c. the coefficient of xis positive.
D. the coefficient of x is negative.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a graph of a line goes down and to the right, it shows that as the value of x increases, the value of y decreases. This represents a negative coefficient for x.

The graph is a drawn out version of the question.

y = mx + c

We have:

The graph of a line goes down and to the right when.

The orientation of the line depends on the slope.

If the slope of the line is positive, the line will go up.

If the slop of the line is negative, the line will go down.

Thus, the graph of a line goes down and to the right when the coefficient of x is negative, option (D) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bridgets fish: f , 2f, 3f+2 , 1/2f, 3/5f

Add for total weight: 7 1/10 f +2

Dads fish: 3f+2, 4/5f, 2f+4, 1/2f

Add for total weight:  6 3/10f +6

set the 2 total weights equal:

6 3/10f +6 = 7 1/10f +2

Subtract 6 3/10f from each side:

6 = 8/10f  + 2

Subtract 2 from each side:

4 = 8/10f

Divide both sides by 8/10:

f =  5

Bridget's first fish weighed 5 ounces.

Dads first fish weighed:  2 more than 3 times :3(5) + 2 = 15 +2 = 17 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Bus = 120^o[/tex]

[tex]Walk = 90^o[/tex]

[tex]Car = 80^o[/tex]

[tex]n = 36[/tex] --- pupils

Required

Determine the number of students in each category

This is calculated by dividing the measure of each category by 360; then multiply the result by the number of pupils:

So, we have:

[tex]Bus = \frac{120}{360} * 36 = \frac{1}{3} * 36 = 12[/tex]

[tex]Walk = \frac{90}{360} * 36= \frac{1}{4} * 36 = 9[/tex]

[tex]Car = \frac{80}{360} * 36 = \frac{80}{10} = 8[/tex]

To calculate the number of students that travel by bike, we have:

[tex]Car + Bike + Walk + Bus= n[/tex]

Substitute values

[tex]8 + Bike + 9+ 12= 36[/tex]

Collect like terms

Amy,bob and hadi saved $1012 altogether. Amy saved $85. Hadi saved 3 times as much as the total amount of Amy's and Bob's savings. How much did Bob save?

Answers

Answer:

Bob Saves 168$.  

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

Given That,   Amy , bob and hadi saved $1012 altogether.

Thus, A + B + H = 1012 ⇒ Amy saved $85.

So, B + H = 927 ----- Equation 1

And Hadi saved 3 times as much as the total amount of Amy's and Bob's savings So, H = 3(A + B) ⇒ We Know Amy saved $85.

So, H - 3B = 255  ----- Equation 2

Now, Subtract Equation 2 from Equation 1, We get

4B = 672 ⇒ B = 168

Bob Saves 168$.

An online store increased the price of a shirt by 17% and charged $3 to ship the shirt to a customer. The customer paid $43 for the shirt. What was the original price of the shirt?


Please explain thoroughly how to get the answer. 15 points

Answers

Answer:

Check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = original price

Percentage increase in price = 17%

New price = original price + Percentage increase in price

= x + 17% of x

= x + 0.17 * x

= x + 0.17x

= 1.17x

Shipping cost = $3

Total cost = $43

Total cost = New price + Shipping cost

43 = 1.17x + 3

43 - 3 = 1.17x

Answers

Answer:

0.037

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Let a and b be the solutions to [tex]x^2 + x -3 = 0[/tex]

It can be solved using quadratic formula where a = 1, b = 1 and c = -3

So,

[tex]x=\dfrac{-1+\sqrt{1^2-4\times 1\times (-3)}}{2(1)},\dfrac{-1-\sqrt{1^2-4\times 1\times (-3)}}{2(1)}\\\\x=1.30,-2.3[/tex]

Let a = 1.3, b = -2.3

The value of [tex]a^3 -4b^2 + 19[/tex] can be given by :

[tex]a^3 -4b^2 + 19=(1.3)^3-4\times (-2.3)^2+19\\\\=0.037[/tex]

So, the value of the given expression is 0.037.

find the 9th and 15th terms of the following geometric sequence 2, -4, 8, -16​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

given the geometric sequence 2, -4, 8, -16, ...

a1 = 2

r = -4/2 = -2

find : a9 and a15

solutions:

an = a1. r^(n-1)

=> a9 = 2. (-2)^(9-1)

= 2. (-2)^8

= 2. 2^8

= 2^9

= 512.

=> a15 = 2. (-2)^(15-1)

= 2. (-2)^14

= 2. 2^14

= 2^15

= 32,768

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

The given geometric sequence is: 2, -4, 8, -16.

The;

a1 = 2

Common ratio (r) = T2/T1

= -4/2

= -2

Now;

Use general formula of geometric sequence;

[tex]tn = {a1.r}^{n - 1} [/tex]

Where, "a1" is first term, "n" is no.of terms and "r" is common ratio.

Then;

[tex]t9 = 2 \times { (- 2)}^{9 - 1} [/tex]

or, t9 = 2*256

Therefore, t9 = 512.

Again;

[tex]t15 = 2. { (- 2)}^{15 - 1} [/tex]

or, t15= 2*16384

Therefore, t15 = 32768.

A(3,4) and B(-3,2) are pointd on a coordinate plane. find the coordinate of a points C on the x axis such that AC=BC​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the game plan. In order to find a point on the x-axis that makes AC = BC, we need to find the midpoint of AB and the slope of AB. From there, we can find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to AB so we can then fit a 0 in for y and solve for x. This final coordinate will be the answer you're looking for. First and foremost, the midpoint of AB:

and

Now for the slope of AB:

and

 So if the slope of AB is 1/3, then the slope of a line perpendicular to that line is -3. What we are finding now is the equation of the line perpendicular to AB and going through (0, 3):

and filling in:

y - 3 = -3(x - 0) and

y - 3 = -3x + 0 and

y - 3 = -3x so

y = -3x + 3. Filling in a 0 for y will give us the coordinate we want for the x-intercept (the point where this line goes through the x-axis):

0 = -3x + 3 and

-3 = -3x so

x = 1

The coordinate on the x-axis such that AC = BC is (1, 0)

Answer:

Part 1;

(0, 0)

Part 2;

(0, 2.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1

The given system of inequalities is presented as follows;

f(x) < x + 4; f(x) > -x - 3; and f(x) < 5

We check each of the points as follows;

The point (0, 0) in the inequality f(x) < x + 4, gives;

f(0) < 0 + 4

f(0) = 0 < (is less than) 0 + 4 = 4

Therefore, (0, 0) is a solution of the inequality f(x) < x + 4

The point (0, 0) in the inequality f(x) > -x - 3, gives;

f(0) < -0 - 3

f(0) = 0 > (is larger than) -0 - 3 = -3

Therefore, (0, 0) is a solution of the inequality f(x) > -x - 3

The point (0, 0) in the inequality f(x) < 5, gives;

f(0) < 5

f(0) = 0 < (is less than) 5

Therefore, (0, 0) is a solution of the inequality f(x) < 5

The point (-6, 0) in the inequality f(x) > -x - 3, gives;

f(-6) = -6 - 3 = 3

The point (-6, 0) with y = 0 < (is less than) f(-6) = 3, therefore (-6, 0) is not a solution to (not included in the graph of) the inequality f(x) > -x - 3 and therefore to the system of inequalities because at x = -6, the values of f(x) > -x - 3 are larger than 3

The point (-3, 4) in the inequality f(x) < x + 4, gives;

f(-3) = -3 + 4 = 1

The point (-3, 4) with y = 4 < (is larger than) f(-2) = 1, therefore (-3, 4) is not a solution to (not included in the graph of) the inequality f(x) < x + 4  and therefore to the system of inequalities because at x = -3, the values of f(x) < x + 4 are less than 1

The point (4, 6) is not a solution to (not included in the graph of) the inequality f(x) < 5  and therefore to the system of inequalities because f(x) is larger than 5 for all x

Therefore, the point which is part of the solution set of the system of inequalities is (0, 0)

Part 2

The given system of inequalities are, f(x) ≥ 2·x + 2; f(x) ≤ -4·x + 3; and f(x) ≤ 6·x + 5

Plotting the given system of inequalities on MS Excel the point which is part of the solution is given by points which are within the triangular intersection area of the three inequalities, with coordinates, (1/6, 7/3), (-3/4, 1/2), and (-1/5, 19/5)

Therefore, the points, (0, 0), (-2.5, 0) are not solutions because, the y-value of the solution area are all higher than the line y = 0

The point (0. 6.5) is not a solution because the points in the triangular solution area all have x-values lesser than x = 6.5

The point which is part of the solution by examination is the point (0, 2.5) which is a point between the lines y = 19/5 = 3.8, y = 1/2, x = -3/4, and x = 1/6.

Suppose you own a rowboat and sometimes go rowing in the summer. In June, you are planning to go rowing with two of your friends (three people total in the boat), and in July, you are planning to go rowing with just one friend (two people total in the boat). Will you put in more effort (row harder) on the three-person trip or on the two-person trip?

Answers

Answer:

The three-person trip require more effort (row harder) than the two person-trip

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of persons in the boat determines the mass of the boat

The mass of the boat with three people in total is more than the mass of the boat with only two person's

Mass is a measure of inertia, which is the resistance of a body to accelerate, and therefore, to the application of a force

Therefore, on the three-person trip were three people are in the boat, the boat has more mass, and therefore more inertia and will require more effort (force) than on the two-person trip that has a lesser mass
