Debi walks laps around the mall for exercise during the winter months. The table represents the number of steps recorded on her

pedometer as she walks laps around the mall one day.
Which statement is true about the graph of the line representing Debi’s data?
- Debi walks 1,875 steps per lap around the mall.
- One lap around the mall is equal to about 2,425 steps.
- One lap around the mall is equal to 4,300 steps.
- Debi walks 6,175 steps per lap around the mall.

Answer: second option. One lap around the mall is equal to about 2,425 steps


Explanation:


1) Show the data in an ordered form:


Laps     Steps

0            1,875

1             4,300

3            6,725

4            9,150

5            11,575


2) The question states that the graph representing Debi’s data is a line. That means that i)  the graph has a constant slope, and ii) the slope - intercept form of the equation that represents it is y = mx + b, where:
  • y is the dependent variable: number of steps
  • x is the independent variable: number of laps
  • b is the y-intercept (value of y when x = 0)
  • m is the slope (constant).

        m = run / rise = change in y / change in x


3) Find the slope for some pairs of values:

  • m = [ 4,300 - 1,875] steps / [1 - 0]  laps =  2,425 steps/laps
  • m = [6,725 - 4,300]  steps / [2 - 1] laps = 2,425 steps / laps
  • you will obtain the same for every pair of poins, m = 2,425 steps / laps

4) The meaning of the slope is the number of steps per one lap around the mall. Hence the answer is the second option: One lap around the mall is equal to about 2,425 steps

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The dimensions that minimize the surface are:

Wide: 1.65 yd

Long: 3.30 yd

Height: 2.20 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a rectangular base, that its twice as long as it is wide.

It must hold 12 yd^3 of debris.

We have to minimize the surface area, subjet to the restriction of volume (12 yd^3).

The surface is equal to:

S=2(w*h+w*2w+2wh)=2(3wh+2w^2)

The volume restriction is:

V=w*2w*h=2w^2h=12\\\\h=\frac{6}{w^2}

If we replace h in the surface equation, we have:

S=2(3wh+2w^2)=6w(\frac{6}{w^2})+4w^2=36w^{-1}+4w^2

To optimize, we derive and equal to zero:

dS/dw=36(-1)w^{-2} + 8w=0\\\\36w^{-2}=8w\\\\w^3=36/8=4.5\\\\w=\sqrt[3]{4.5} =1.65

Then, the height h is:

h=6/w^2=6/(1.65^2)=6/2.7225=2.2

The dimensions that minimize the surface are:

Wide: 1.65 yd

Long: 3.30 yd

Height: 2.20 yd

Henry has $21.50 to ride the trolley around San Francisco this week. It will cost him $0.50 every time he rides. Identify the de
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Dependent: Cost of the ride.

Independent : Number of rides.

Step-by-step explanation:

The independent variable is the variable what we change and the dependent variable is the variables which changes because of that changes.

Here the total cost of ride changes for any change in the number of rides.

Hence, the number of rides is the independent variable and the total cost of ride is the dependent variable

Allies plant has a height of 6meters. Radon’s plant grows 3/10 meters higher. How high does radon’s plant grow
kow [346]

The height of Radon plant is 6.3 meters

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, Allies plant has a height of 6 meters

Radon’s plant grows \frac{3}{10} meters higher

To find: Height of Radon plant

From given information,

Height of Allies plant = 6 meters

Height of radon plant = \frac{3}{10} + Height of Allies plant

Substituting the known value,

\text{ Height of radon plant} = \frac{3}{10} + 6\\\\\text{ Height of radon plant} = \frac{3+60}{10}\\\\\text{ Height of radon plant} = \frac{63}{10}\\\\\text{ Height of radon plant} = 6.3

Thus Radon plant grows to height of 6.3 meters
