C. y= -28/x

y=k/x

cross multiply

k= y×x

k = -2×14

k = -28

y = -28/x [ equation connecting x and y]

Find the cube root of 8x7x9x49x3

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

=42

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression 8×7×9×49×3 can be written in its simplest factor form as follows.

8=2³

49=7²

9=3²

Thus the expression becomes:2³×7×3²×7²×3

Combine the indices to the same base.

2³×3³×7³

Finding the cube root involves dividing the index by three.

Thus ∛(2³×3³×7³)= 2×3×7

Which could be the dimensions of a rectangular prism whose surface area is greater than 140 square feet? Select three options,

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

These are the rectangular prisms that have a surface area greater than 140 square feet

6 feet by 5 feet by 4 feet

7 feet by 6 feet by 4 feet

8 feet by 3 feet by 7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the surface area of a rectangular prism is SA=2(wl+hl+hw)

All you have to do is go through all the options given to you to figure out which retangular prisms have a surface area greater than 140 square feet.

6 feet by 2 feet by 3 feet

SA = 2((2)(6)+(3)(6)+(3)(2))

SA = 2(12 + 18 + 6)

SA = 2(36)

SA = 72

6 feet by 5 feet by 4 feet

SA = 2((6)(5) + (4)(5) + (4)(6))

SA = 2(30 + 20 + 24)

SA = 2(74)

SA = 148

7 feet by 6 feet by 4 feet

SA = 2((7)(6) + (4)(6) + (4)(7))

SA = 2(42 + 24 + 28)

SA = 2(94)

SA = 188

8 feet by 3 feet by 7 feet

SA = 2((8)(3)+(7)(3)+(7)(8))

SA = 2(24 + 21 + 56)

SA = 2(101)

SA = 202

8 feet by 4 feet by 3 feet

SA = 2((8)(4)+(3)(4)+(3)(8))

SA = 2(32 + 12 + 24)

SA = 2(68)

SA = 136

Someone help! you have 44 text messages in your inbox. How many messages can your cell phone hold? (and inbox is 88% full)

marin [14]

We can set up a proportion.

88% = 0.88

44/0.88 = x/1

Cross multiply:

0.88x = 44

Divide 0.88 to both sides:

x = 50

So your cell phone can hold 50 messages.

21. Given directed line segment WV , find the coordinates of R

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

$R\left(\frac {4x_1+3x_2}{7} , \frac {4y_1+3y_2}{7}\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the coordinate of the points W, V and R are $(x_1,y_1), (x_2,y_2),$ and $(x_s,y_s)$ respectively.

The coordinate of the section point, $(x_s,y_s),$ which divides the line joining the two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ in the ration $m:n$ is

$x_s=\frac {nx_1+mx_2}{m+n}$ and

$y_s=\frac {ny_1+my_2}{m+n}$ .

The given ration is, $m:n=3:4$

$R(x_s,y_s)=R\left(\frac {nx_1+mx_2}{m+n} , \frac {ny_1+my_2}{m+n}\right)$

$=R\left(\frac {4x_1+3x_2}{7} , \frac {4y_1+3y_2}{7}\right)$ .

The exact point can be determined by putting the value of the exact coordinate in the above-obtained formula.
