Scaling on map is defined as the ratio of a distance on the map to the corresponding distance on the ground.

Here, 3.2 centimeters on the map is equivalent to 4 kilometers.

We can use unitary method to find, how many kilometer/kilometers each centimeter corresponds to.

Using the unitary method:

$3.2 cm=4 km$

$1 cm=\frac{4}{3.2} =1.25km$

Therefore, the scale of map represents 1.25 kilometers for each centimeter.

1. Maryann is tracking the change in her vertical jump over 6 months. Use the table to write a linear function that models her j

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Part 1) Option A. f of x equals one half times x plus 16

Part 2) Option A. x = 5

Part 3) Option C. x − 4y = −9

Part 4) Option A. The number of rides is the independent variable, and the total cost is the dependent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

Let

x -----> the number of months

y ----> vertical jump in inches

step 1

Find the slope

we have the points

(0,16) and (2,17)

$m=(17-16)/(2-0)=\frac{1}{2}$

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=\frac{1}{2}$

$b=16$ -----> the point (0,16) is the y-intercept

substitute

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+16$

convert to function notation

f(x)=y

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x+16$

Part 2) What is the equation of a line that contains the points (5, 0) and (5, −2)?

step 1

Find the slope

we have the points

(5, 0) and (5, −2)

$m=(-2-0)/(5-5)=\frac{-2}{0}$

the slope is undefined

This is a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis)

therefore

The equation is

x=5

Part 3) Choose the equation that represents a line that passes through points (−1, 2) and (3, 1)

step 1

Find the slope

we have the points

(−1, 2) and (3, 1)

$m=(1-2)/(3+1)=-\frac{1}{4}$

step 2

Find the equation of the line into point slope form

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$m=-\frac{1}{4}$

$point\ (3, 1)$

substitute

$y-1=-\frac{1}{4}(x-5)$

Convert to standard form

Multiply by 4 both sides to remove the fraction

$4y-4=-(x-5)$

$4y-4=-x+5$

$x-4y=-4-5$

$x-4y=-9$

Part 4) Jewels has $6.75 to ride the ferry around Connecticut. It will cost her $0.45 every time she rides. Identify the dependent variable and independent variable in this scenario

we know that

The independent variable is the variable whose change isn’t affected by any other variable (An example the age and time)

The dependent variable it’s what changes as a result of the changes to the independent variable (An example of a dependent variable is how tall you are at different ages. The dependent variable (height) depends on the independent variable (age))

Let

x ----> the number of rides

y ----> the total cost in dollars

In this problem

The independent variable or input is the number of rides

The dependent variable or output is the total cost

How are the two functions f(x) = 0.7(6)x and g(x) = 0.7(6)–x related to each other?

Harlamova29_29 [7]

The answer
f(x) = 0.7(6)x = f(x) = 0.7(6)^x, and g(x) = 0.7(6)–x= g(x) = 0.7(6)^-x=1/0.7(6)^x
so 
g(x) =1/0.7(6)^x=1 /f(x)

 the relationship between f and g are g(x) =1 /f(x) or g(x) . f(x) = 1

In a study of the progeny of rabbits, Fibonacci (ca. 1170-ca. 1240) encountered the sequence now bearing his name. The sequence

expeople1 [14]

The question in part c is not clear, nevertheless, part a and part b would be solved.

Answer:

a. The first twelve terms are:

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144.

b. The first ten terms are:

1.000, 1.000, 1.500, 1.667, 1.600, 1.625, 1.615, 1.619, 1.618, 1.618.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Given

an + 2 = an + an + 1

where a1 = 1 and a2 = 1.

a3 = a1 + a2

= 2

a4 = a2 + a3

= 3

a5 = a3 + a4

= 5

a6 = a5 + a4

= 8

a7 = a6 + a5

= 13

a8 = a7 + a6

= 21

a9 = a8 + a7

= 34

a10 = a9 + a8

= 55

a11 = a10 + a9

= 89

a12 = a11 + a10

= 144

The first twelve terms are:

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144.

(b)

Given

bn = an+1/an

b1 = a2/a1

= 1/1 = 1.000

b2 = a3/a2

= 2/1 = 1.000

b3 = a4/a3

= 3/2 = 1.500

b4 = a5/a4

= 5/3 = 1.667

b5 = a6/a5

= 8/5 = 1.600

b6 = a7/a6

= 13/8 = 1.625

b7 = a8/a7

= 21/13 = 1.615

b8 = a9/a8

= 34/21 = 1.619

b9 = a10/a9

= 55/34 = 1.618

b10 = a11/a10

= 89/55 = 1.618

The first ten terms are:

1.000, 1.000, 1.500, 1.667, 1.600, 1.625, 1.615, 1.619, 1.618, 1.618.

The first term of a finite geometric series is 6 and the last term is 4374. The sum of all the term os 6558. find the common rat

Oliga [24]

A geometric series is written as $ar^n$ , where $a$ is the first term of the series and $r$ is the common ratio.

In other words, to compute the next term in the series you have to multiply the previous one by $r$ .

Since we know that the first time is 6 (but we don't know the common ratio), the first terms are

$6, 6r, 6r^2, 6r^3, 6r^4, 6r^5, \ldots$ .

Let's use the other information, since the last term is $4374 > 6$ , we know that $r>1$ , otherwise the terms would be bigger and bigger.

The information about the sum tells us that

$\displaystyle \sum_{i=0}^n 6r^i = 6\sum_{i=0}^n r^i = 6558$

We have a formula to compute the sum of the powers of a certain variable, namely

$\displaystyle \sum_{i=0}^n r^i = \cfrac{r^{n+1}-1}{r-1}$

So, the equation becomes

$6\cfrac{r^{n+1}-1}{r-1} = 6558$

The only integer solution to this expression is $n=6, r=3$ .

If you want to check the result, we have

$6+6*3+6*3^2+6*3^3+6*3^4+6*3^5+6*3^6 = 6558$

and the last term is

$6*3^6 = 4374$
