The circumference of a circle with a diameter 1.8cm take pie to be 3.142

Answers

The formula to get the circumference is 2πr, π being pi and r being your radius.

Your r is 0.9 since the radius is half the diameter.

2πr = 2 x 3.142 x 0.9

= 5.6556cm

The area of a rectangle is 240 in squared. the ratio of the length to the width is 5 : 3. find the length and the width.

Answers

hey user!!

your answer is here...

given the ratio between the Length and breadth (width) of the rectangle is 5 : 3

let the Length and breadth of the rectangle be 5x and 3x approximately.

area of the rectangle = 240in²

therefore l × b = 240in²

==> 5x × 3x = 240in²

==> 15x² = 240in²

==> x² = 240/15

==> x² = 16

==> x = √16

==> x = 4in

hence, length of the rectangle = 5x = 5 × 4 = 20in

breadth of the rectangle = 3x = 3 × 4 = 12in

cheers!!

jean needs to graph the function below y= 7x^2 + 8x - 6 How many time should the graph of this function intersect at the x-axis?

Answers

when it intersects the x axis, the y value is 0
0=7x^2+8x-6
2nd degree, therefor there are 2 solutions and also 2 intersections

For the first 3 years of a horse's life, the weight, w (in kilograms), of the horse approximately fits the formula w(t)=30+170t, where t is the age of the horse in years. Which of the following is the most accurate interpretation of the slope of the line represented by this formula? A. The slope is 170. This means that the horse gains an average of 170 kilograms per year for the first 3 years of its life.
B. The slope is 30. This means that the horse gains a total of 30 kilograms in the first 3 years of its life.
C. The slope is 30. This means the horse gains on average 30 kilograms per use for the first 3years of its life.
D. The slope is 170. This means that the horse gains a total of 170 kilograms in the first 3 years of its life.

Answers

Answer:

Option A. The slope is 170. This means that the horse gains an average of 170 kilograms per year for the first 3 years of its life

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

t ----> the number of years

w ---> is the weight in kilograms of the horse

we know that

The equation of a line in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope or unit rate of the linear equation

b is the y-intercept or initial value

In this problem we have

w(t)=30+170t

where

The slope or unit rate is equal to

m=170\ (kg)/(year) --->  (for the first 3 years of a horse's life)

The y-intercept is equal to

b=30\ kg ---> value of w when the value of t is equal to zero

therefore

The slope is 170. This means that the horse gains an average of 170 kilograms per year for the first 3 years of its life

I really need help on all of them, I will give out brainliest to one answer and ten points to both

Answers

Answer:

1. 1/2, 2. 2, 3. 1/-3, 4. -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1) I know that the equation for slope is y2-y1/x2-x1. For number one I first found two points of the graph which is (0,3) and (2,4) (not sure if I see it correctly, its kind of blurry). I decided that (0,3) would be my y1 and x1 and (2,4) will be my y2 and x2. I later plugged the number in the equation and got 4-3/2-0 which the answer turns out to be 1/2.

2) For the rest of the questions it is kinda the same business as question 1. For question two I chose two points out of the table which wrer (-1, -12) and (1,-8) and plugged them into the equation and got -8-(-12)/1-(-1) which the answer turns out to be 2.

3) similar to question 2. The two points(2,-6) and (-4,-3) are given to you. so I plugged them in again and got -3-(-6)/-4-2 which the answer turns out to be 3/-6 into 1/-3.

4) Same with question 1 find two points of the graph. I chose (0,3) and (1,1) (again might not be accurate it's kind of blurry) I plugged them into the equation again and got 1-3/1-0 which equals -2.

Just always remember y2-y1/x2-x1=m is the equation for slope.

(m is the variable for slope)

Hoped this helped you : )
