The length that a hanging spring stretches varies directly with the weight placed at the end of the spring. If a weight of 12lb

stretches a certain spring 16in., how far will the spring stretch if the weight is increased to 35lb? (Leave the variation constant in fraction form. Round off your final answer to the nearest in.)

Answer:

  47 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant of proportionality is ...

  (16 in)/(12 lb) = (4/3) in/lb

Then for a weight of 35 lb, the stretch will be ...

  (35 lb)(4/3 in/lb) = 140/3 in = 46 2/3 in

The spring will stretch about 47 inches with a 35 lb weight.

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

The variable c represents the domain as it is the independent variable.

The domain of the function F(c) is given by c ≥ 0.

So, only positive values for the input make sense.

The upper limit of the domain is +∞ and lower limit is 0.

It is not possible for the team to earn $50.50 as it will be only multiple of 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

If F(c) represents the earning of a volleyball team from selling c cupcakes and each cupcake costs $2 each, then the equation that models the situation is  

F(c) = 2c ..... (1)

The variable c represents the domain as it is the independent variable. (Answer)

The domain of the function F(c) is given by c ≥ 0. (Answer)
