A direct variation function contains the points (–9, –3) and (–12, –4). Which equation represents the function?

2 answers:

4 0

First, find the slope between the two points.
Slope = y2-y1 / x2-x1
-4+3/ -12+9
-1/-3
1/3 is the slope of this equation.
You do not have to go any further to find b or the y-intercept because it appears that b or the y-intercept is 0 in this case.
y= 1/3x or in other words y= x/3

(-9,-3) (-12,-4) use y2-y1/x2-x1=slope, (-4+3)/(-12+9)=1/3 y=x/3

.<br> Simplify (−34.67)0

maksim [4K]

If it's -34*0 then it is equal to 0 because anything times 0 is 0.

If it were -34.67 to the power of 0, then It would have been equal to -1. This is because anything to the power of 0 is 1. In this case though the base is negative so it would be -1.

But the answer is 0.

Mr. Santos is carpeting his living room. The room measures 21 feet by 15 feet. The carpeting costs $9 per square foot. How much

MariettaO [177]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1- You have that the area of the living room is:
A=lw (Area of the rectangle); where l is the lengt and w is the width.
A=(21 feet)(15 feet)
A=315 feet²
2- The cost is:
Cost=315 feet²x$9
Cost=$2835
The answer is: He will need 315 feet² and it will cost $2835

Solve the equation -10 (g - 6) = -65

Elanso [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

$- 10(g - 6) = - 65 \\ - 10g + 60 = - 65 \\ - 10g = - 125 \\ 10g = 125 \\ g = \frac{25}{2}$

If AD and BD are bisectors of CAB and CBA respectively. Find the sum of angles x and y.

olchik [2.2K]

The picture in the attached figure

step 1
we know that
It is given that AD and BD are bisectors of ∠CAB and ∠CBA respectively.
Therefore,
x = ∠CAB/2 -----> equation 1
y = ∠CBA/2 -----> equation 2

step 2
In triangle ABC,
∠CAB + ∠CBA + ∠ACB = 180° ----> [The sum of all three angles of a triangle is 180°]
∠CAB + ∠CBA + 110° = 180°
∠CAB + ∠CBA = 180° - 110°
∠CAB + ∠CBA = 70° ------> divide by 2 both sides
∠CAB/2 + ∠CBA/2 = 70/2 -------> equation 3
substitute equation 1 and equation 2 in equation 3
x+y=35

hence

the answer is
x+y =35°
⇒ x + y = 35° ...[From equation (1) and (2)]

Fresh pond has a population of 854 and is increasing by 3 people per year. Strawberry has a population of 427 and is increasing

lawyer [7]

Answer:

Fresh Pond: p(t) = 854 +3t
Strawberry: p(t) = 427·1.10^t

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The general term of an arithmetic sequence is ...

an = a1 + d(n -1)

If we let the sequence of population numbers be modeled by this, and we use t for the number of years, we want n=1 for t=0, so n = t+1 and we have ...

p(t) = 854 +3(t+1-1)

p(t) = 854 +3t

(b) The general term of a geometric sequence is ...

an = a1·r^(n-1)

were r is the common ratio. Here, the multiplier from one year to the next is 1+10% = 1.10. Again, n=t+1, so the population equation is ...

p(t) = 427·1.10^(t+1-1)

p(t) = 427·1.10^t
