Answer:

Number of Cucumbers = 12

Number of Tomatoes = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of cucumber be c and number of tomatoes be t

Since he has room for 16 plants, we can write:

c + t = 16

He wants to plant 3 times as many cucumbers as tomatoes. We can write:

c = 3t

We can substitute this in 1st equation and solve for t:

c + t = 16

3t + t = 16

4t = 16

t = 16/4 = 4

And c = 3t

c = 3(4) = 12

Number of Cucumbers = 12

Number of Tomatoes = 4

Answer:

The correct answer is he should plant 12 cucumbers and 4 tomatoes.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must start by analyzing the information we have:

We know that in total Ramon can only plant 16 plants.

We know that the amount of cucumbers he wants to plant is 3 times greater than the amount of tomatoes.

But what we don't know is the amount of tomatoes that he is going to plant, and that is what we are going to find out.

As we do not know this number, we will assign the incognita x.

So:

Total: 16

Number of cucumbers 3 times greater than tomatoes: 3x

Tomatoes: x

Now we just have to put together the equation:

$x + 3 x = 16$

Now we just have to solve to determine the amount of tomatoes :

$4 x = 16\\x= 16 : 4\\x= 4$

Knowing that the number of tomatoes is 4, we should only subtract that number from the total number of plants that Ramon can plant, and so we will obtain the amount of cucumbers:

16 - 4 = 12

In this way we can say that the correct answer is he should plant 12 cucumbers and 4 tomatoes.

If two lines are perpendicular describe the relationship between their slopes

Aloiza [94]

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals. example: line a has a slope of 2/3, line b has a slope if -3/2 if they are perpendicular.

The table shows the estimated number of lines of code written by computer programmers per hour when x people are working.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Hence, the model that best represents the data is:

$y=26.9x-1.3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a table that shows the estimated number of lines of code written by computer programmers per hour when x people are working.

We are asked to find which model best represents the data?

So for finding this we will put the value of x in each of the functions and check which hold true that which gives the value of y i.e. f(x) as is given in the table:

We are given 4 functions as:

$y = 47(1.191)^x$

$y=34\times (1.204)^x$

$y=26.9x-1.3$

$y=27x-4$

We make the table of these values at different values of x.

x A B C D

2 66.66 49.3 52.5 50

4 94.57 71.44 106.3 104

6 134.14 103.57 160.1 158

8 190.27 150.14 213.9 212

10 269.91 217.64 267.7 266

12 382.85 315.5 321.5 320.

Hence, the function that best represents the data is:

Option C.

y=26.9x-1.3

A conical pile of road salt has a diameter of 112 feet and a slant height of 65 feet. After a storm, the linear dimensions of th

QveST [7]

we know that

the volume of a cone is equal to

$V= \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h$

in this problem

the radius is equal to

$r= \frac{112}{2}= 56ft$

1) Find the height of the cone before the storm

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem find the height

$h^{2} = l^{2}-r^{2}$

$l=65 ft$

$h^{2} = 65^{2}-56^{2}$

$h^{2} = 1,089$

$h=33 ft$

2) Find the volume before the storm

$V= \frac{1}{3}*\pi* 56^{2}*33$

$V=34,496\pi\ ft^{3}$

3) Find the volume after the storm

After a storm, the linear dimensions of the pile are 1/3 of the original dimensions

r=(56/3) ft

h=(33/3)=11 ft

$V= \frac{1}{3}*\pi* (56/3)^{2}*11$

$V= 1,277.63\pi\ ft^{3}$

4) Find how this change affect the volume of the pile

Divide the volume after the storm by the volume before the storm

$\frac{1,277.63 \pi }{34,496 \pi } = \frac{1}{27}$

therefore

the answer part a) is

The volume of the pile after the storm is $\frac{1}{27}$ times the original volume

Part b) Estimate the number of lane miles that were covered with salt

5) Find the amount of salt that was used during the storm

$=34,496 \pi - 1,277.63 \pi \\= 33.218.37 \pi \\= 104,358.59\ ft^{3}$

6) Find the pounds of road salt used

$104,358.59*80=8,348,687.2\ pounds$

7) Find the number of lane miles that were covered with salt

$8,348,687.2/350=23,853.39 \ lane\ miles$

therefore

the answer part b) is

the number of lane miles that were covered with salt is $23,853.39 \ lane\ miles$

Part c) How many lane miles can be covered with the remaining salt? Round your answer to the nearest lane mile

the remaining salt is equal to $1,277.63\pi\ ft^{3}$

$1,277.63\pi\ ft^{3}=4,013.79\ ft^{3}$

8) Find the pounds of road salt

$4,013.79*80=321,103.20\ pounds$

9) Find the number of lane miles

$321,103.20/350=917.44 \ lane\ miles$

therefore

the answer part c) is

the number of lane miles is $917 \ lane\ miles$

What is the average rate of change of f(x), represented by the graph, over the interval [-2, 2]?

Molodets [167]

To get the average rate of change (ARC) of f(x) over [x1, x2], we use the formula:
ARC = ( f(x2) - f(x2) ) / (x2 - x1)

From the graph
f(2) = 4
f(-2) = 4

Plugging in the values into the formula:
ARC = (4 - 4) / (2 - (-2) )
ARC = 0

The points connecting (-2,4) amd (2,4) is a horizontal line that is the rate of change is 0.
