Explain why the decimal moving strategy can be used with SI units, but not with imperial units.

1 answer:

6 0

The SI system is based on the basic 10 scale where as with the imperial units there was no base scale. Most people refer to the Imperial scale as the queen picked up a rock and decided this rock weighs exactly on pound and picked up another and decided it was two. <span />

Which of the following exponential functions represents the graph below?

mario62 [17]

Answer:

the graph corresponds to function "D" $f(x)=3\,(\frac{1}{5} )^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the graph shown corresponds to an exponential "decay" (the function decreases as we move from left to right), the base of the exponent has to be a number smaller than 1 (one). So we examine the only two options that give such (options C and D which have fractions as the base - 1/3 and 1/5 respectively)

From there, we analyze which of the two functions satisfies the crossing of the y-axis at (0,3) which is clearly shown in the graph:

We study both:

function C at x = 0 gives:

$f(x)= 5\,(\frac{1}{3})^x\\f(0)=5\,(\frac{1}{3})^0 \\f(0)=5\,(1)\\f(0)=5$

while function D at x = 0 gives:

$f(x)= 3\,(\frac{1}{5})^x\\f(0)=3\,(\frac{1}{5})^0 \\f(0)=3\,(1)\\f(0)=3$

Therefore, the graph corresponds to function "D"

I think they all apply (tick all the statements) since a rigid transformation doesn’t affect the shape of the triangle simply it’s position.

The answer will be A.6 inches because 4*3=12. Then, multiply 6*3=18 which is a foot and a half. Which only leaves 6 inches remaining

For each system of equations, drag the true statement about its solution set to the box under the system?

natta225 [31]

Answer:

y = 4x + 2

y = 2(2x - 1)

Zero solutions.

4x + 2 can never be equal to 4x - 2

y = 3x - 4

y = 2x + 2

One solution

3x - 4 = 2x + 2 has one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The system of equation has zero number of solution if the coefficients

of x and y are the same and the numerical terms are different

- The system of equation has infinity many solutions if the

coefficients of x and y are the same and the numerical terms

are the same

- The system of equation has one solution if at least one of the

coefficient of x and y are different

* Lets solve the problem

∵ y = 4x + 2 ⇒ (1)

∵ y = 2(2x - 1) ⇒ (2)

- Lets simplify equation (2) by multiplying the bracket by 2

∴ y = 4x - 2

- The two equations have same coefficient of y and x and different

numerical terms

∴ They have zero equation

y = 4x + 2

y = 2(2x - 1)

Zero solutions.

4x + 2 can never be equal to 4x - 2

∵ y = 3x - 4 ⇒ (1)

∵ y = 2x + 2 ⇒ (2)

- The coefficients of x and y are different, then there is one solution

- Equate equations (1) and (2)

∴ 3x - 4 = 2x + 2

- Subtract 2x from both sides

∴ x - 4 = 2

- Add 4 to both sides

∴ x = 6

- Substitute the value of x in equation (1) or (2) to find y

∴ y = 2(6) + 2

∴ y = 12 + 2 = 14

∴ y = 14

∴ The solution is (6 , 14)

y = 3x - 4

y = 2x + 2

One solution

3x - 4 = 2x + 2 has one solution
