Help with this question? I got half of it, but can't seem to get the other half. Please explain how you got your answer. Thanks!1. The equation of a plane in space is x + 3y + 2z = 6.
a.) Accurately sketch the plane on the set of axes, showing all your calculations below.
b.) The three planes of the axes and the plane you have sketched create a triangular pyramid. Find the volume of this pyramid, showing the formula you are using and all
calculations below.

My Answer:
a. I started off by finding my x-intercept. To find my x-intercept I substituted y and z with 0. So: x + 3(0) + 2(0) = 6. After multiplying and adding, I end up with x = 6. So my x-intercept is (6, 0, 0,). T find my y-intercept I substituted x and z with 0. So: 0 + 3y + 2(0) = 6. After multiplying and adding, we come up with 3y = 6. Now we divide each side by 3 to get y = 2. So my y-intercept is (0, 2, 0). To find my z-intercept, I substituted x and y with 0. So, 0 + 3(0) + 2z = 6. After multiplying and adding, I get 2z = 6. Now I divide each side by 2 to get z = 3. So my z-intercpet is (0, 0, 3). After I plotted the points and connected them, they formed a triangular pyramid.

So thats how much i got. I cant seem to figure out how to get the volume. please help.

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Volume of the pyramid = 6 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a triangular pyramid is: V = (1/3)*A*H

where A is the area of the triangle base, and H is the height of the pyramid.

Taking the triangle formed in the x-y plane as the base, its area is computed as follows:

A = (1/2)*6*2 = 6 square units

where 6 and 2 are the measure of the two perpendicular sides of the triangle.  This is taken from the x-intercept point  (6, 0, 0) and  y-intercept point  (0, 2, 0).

The height of the pyramid is then the measure of the z-intercept point (0, 0, 3), that is, 3. Replacing in volume formula:

V = (1/3)*A*H

V = (1/3)*6*3

V = 6 cubic units

Answer 2
Answer: X - Intercept
    x + 3y + 2z = 6
x + 3(0) + 2(0) = 6
        x + 0 + 0 = 6
              x + 0 = 6
                 - 0  - 0
                    x = 6
X - Intercept: (6, 0, 0)

Y - Intercept
  x + 3y + 2z = 6
0 + 3y + 2(0) = 6
    0 + 3y + 0 = 6
    0 + 0 + 3y = 6
          0 + 3y = 6
        - 0         - 0
                3y = 6
                 3     3
                  y = 2
Y - Intercept: (0, 2, 0)

Z - Intercept
x + 3y + 2z = 6
0 + 3(0)  2z = 6
  0 + 0 + 2z = 6
        0 + 2z = 6
      - 0         - 0
              2z = 6
               2     2
                z = 3
Z - Intercept: (0, 0, 3)

Volume of the X - Intercept, Y - Intercept, and Z - Intercept
V = ¹/₃(¹/₂lwh)
V = ¹/₃(¹/₂(6)(2)(3))
V = ¹/₃(¹/₂(12)(3))
V = ¹/₃(¹/₂(36))
V = ¹/₃(18)
V = 6 u³

S.P. of 6 bananas is the same as the C.P. of 5 bananas. Find the gain or loss per cent. ​

Answers

Cost price of 5 bananas = Selling price of 6 bananas

So,

CP \: of \: 1 \: banana =  (1)/(5)

SP \: of \: 1 \: banana =  (1)/(6)

As, CP of 5 bananas = SP of 6 bananas.There will be a loss.

loss\% =   \frac{( (1)/(5) -  (1)/(6))  * 100 } { (1)/(5) }

=  ( (1)/(30) * 100 )/( (1)/(5) )

=   (100)/(30)  *  (5)/(1)  =  (50)/(3)

loss= 16 (2)/(3) \%

A line is drawn through (–4, 3) and (4, 3). Which describes whether or not the line represents a direct variation?The line represents a direct variation because = .
The line represents a direct variation because it is horizontal.
The line does not represent a direct variation because it does not go through the origin.
The line does not represent a direct variation because –4(3) ≠ 4(3).

Answers

The line does not represent direct variation because it does not go through the origin. In fact, it happens to be a horizontal line whose equation is : y = 3.

A line y= k x, represents a direct variation if , k=(y)/(x)

As,line passes through (-4,3) and (4,3).

Equation of line passing through two points is,  

(y-3)/(x+4)=(3-3)/(4+4)\n\n y-3=0

Given by the formula: (y-y_(1))/(x-x_(1))=(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))

As, the line does not pass through origin , so the line passing through (-4,3) and (4,3) does not represent direct variation.

Option (C)=The line does not represent a direct variation because it does not go through the origin.

Jeremy got a haircut and paid 15% as a tip.A. what percent of the cost did jeremy pay the barber, including the tip:

B. what is the cost of the haircut

C. calculate the total cost of the haircut, including the tip

D.If you only wanted to know the tip amount, how would you change the process you used in part c to calculate the total cost

Answers

Answer:

Sure! Here are the answers:

A. Jeremy paid 100% + 15% = **115%** of the cost to the barber, including the tip.

B. Let's say the cost of the haircut is x dollars. Then, Jeremy paid a tip of 15% of x which is 0.15x dollars. Therefore, the cost of the haircut is x + 0.15x = **1.15x** dollars.

C. The total cost of the haircut, including the tip is 115% of the cost of the haircut. So, if the cost of the haircut is x dollars, then the total cost is 115% of x which is 1.15x dollars.

D. If you only wanted to know the tip amount, you would calculate 15% of the cost of the haircut which is 0.15 times x or **0.15x** dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the midpoint of a segment using the coordinates of its endpoints: Answers: A- Calculate the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates of the endpoints. B- Calculate the differences of the x-coordinates and the differences of the y-coordinates of the endpoints. C-Calculate the differences of the x-coordinates and the differences of the y-coordinates of the endpoints and divide each by 2. D-Calculate the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates of the endpoints and divide each by 2.

Answers

The answer here is A. "Calculate the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates of the endpoints."

The midpoint is basically the point located between two endpoints, where the distance is equal from the midpoint to either of the points. Since this is merely a halfway point, taking the average of the coordinates would yield us the midpoint.
