The steepest graph is gonna have the largest slope....but u have to use the absolute value of the slopes to compare
y = -2x.....slope is -2....| -2 | = 2
y = -1/2x...slope is -1/2....| -1/2 | = 1/2
y = 3/2x....slope is 3/2 (or 1 1/2)...| 1 1/2} = 1 1/2
y = 5/2x...slope is 5/2 (or 2 1/2)...| 2 1/2| = 2 1/2
so the steepest graph is : y = 5/2x
X = 0 ; y = 10 ; 10 = a(0) + b(0) + c
c = 10
x=2 ; y = 15 ; 15 = a(4) + b(2) + 10 ; 5 = 4a+2b
x=4 ; y=18 ; 18 = a(16) + b(4) + 10 ; 8 = 16a + 4b
2(5) = (4a+2b)2
-
<u> 8 = 16a + 4b
</u> 2 = -8a
a = -0.25
b = 2
y = (1/4)x^2 + 2x + 10 ; 4y = x^2 + 8x + 40
Well, he made $100 off of drinks, and $135 off of ice cream bars.
Then to find his profit take $235 - $31.50 = $203.50
There's your answer! $203.50 was his profit.
Answer:
The tank will empty in 4 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since a barrel contains 56 liters of kerosene, and it has two taps, one tap that draws 500 ml every 6 minutes and after first 5 liters are drawn from the barrel, the second tap also starts, and it draws 1 liter in every 5 minutes, to determine how many hours will be taken in all to empty the tank, the following calculation must be performed:
0.5 x X = 5
X = 5 / 0.5
X = 10
10 x 6 = 60
1 hour = 51 liters
1 hour 30 minutes = 51 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 42.5
2 hours = 42.5 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 34
2 hours 30 minutes = 34 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 25.5
3 hours = 25.5 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 17
3 hours 30 minutes = 17 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 8.5
4 hours = 8.5 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 0
Therefore, the tank will empty in 4 hours.
