Answer: The comparison is mentioned below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A piece of climbing equipment at a playground is 6 feet high and extends 4 feet horizontally.

Therefore its slope = length of the equipment vertically / length of equipment horizontally

m_1=  6/4 = 3/2 = 1.5

And, A piece of climbing equipment at a gym is 10 feet high and extends 6 feet horizontally.

Therefore slope, m_2=  10/6 = 5/3=1.67 (approx)

Since, m_1<m_2

Thus the slope of equipment first is less than slope of second equipment.

Nolan used the following procedure to find an estimate for StartRoot 18 EndRoot.
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Nolan correctly identified the square  numbers before and after 18.

The square roots of them are 4 and 5.

Clearly, square root of 18 should lie between 4 and 5 only.

He, then carefully squared 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 etc. and identified that 4.3 squared is nearer to 18.

Since, Nolan is finding estimated square root, his steps are cool and he didn't make any error.

Which polynomial function could be represented by the graph below?
Svetllana [295]

Note that

1.

f(x)=x^3+x^2-6x=x(x^2+x-6)=x(x-2)(x+3)

The x-intercepts are at points x=-3, x=0, x=2. The graph should be increasing - decreasing - increasing.

2.

f(x)=x^3-x^2-6x=x(x^2-x-6)=x(x+2)(x-3)

The x-intercepts are at points x=-2, x=0, x=3. The graph should be increasing - decreasing - increasing.

3.

f(x)=-2x^3-2x^2+12x=-2x(x^2+x-6)=-2x(x-2)(x+3)

The x-intercepts are at points x=-3, x=0, x=2. The graph should be decreasing - increasing - decreasing.

4.

f(x)=-2x^3+x^2+12x=-2x(x^2-x-6)=-2x(x+2)(x-3)

The x-intercepts are at points x=-2, x=0, x=3. The graph should be decreasing - increasing - decreasing.

From the diagram you can see that x-intercepts are at points x=-3, x=0, x=2 and the graph is   decreasing-increasing-decreasing.

Answer: correct choice is 3.

Find the value of x RT=4x+10 SW= 5x-20
Liula [17]
Well, as you can see from the rectangle RT and SW should have equal lengths. So to find the value of x, we need to do.....

4x + 10 = 5x - 20
-x + 10 = -20              (Subtraction property of equality)
-x = -30                      (Subtraction property of equality)
x = 30                        (Division property of equality)

To check our work:

4(30)+10 = 130
5(30)-20 = 130

So, the value of x is 30!
