The equation y = 12 - 0.2x shows the amount of candle that is left (in ounces) after
burning for x hours. What is the y - intercept for the function, and what does it represent

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The y-intercept is 12.

It represents the original length of the candle.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 12 - 0.2x

y = 0.2x + 12

y = mx + b

b is the y-intercept.

b = 12

The y-intercept is 12.

It represents the original length of the candle.

Each person in a group of twenty people at a hotel orders one meal chosen from oatmeal, eggs, or pancakes and one hot beverage chosen from coffee or tea. One person will be selected at random from the twenty people. What is the sample space for the meal and beverage for the person selected

Answers

Answer:

[tex]S = \{(Oatmeal, Coffee),(Eggs, Coffee),(Pancakes,Coffee),[/tex] [tex](Oatmeal, Tea),(Eggs, Tea),(Pancakes,Tea)\}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Meal = \{Oatmeal, Eggs, Pancakes\}[/tex]

[tex]Beverage = \{Coffee, Tea\}[/tex]

Required

Determine the sample space

The sample space is a list of combination of 1 meal and 1 beverage.

Because one individual can order only one of the meals and one of the beverages at any one time, then no two orders can be the same

The sample space (S) is as follows:

[tex]S = \{(Oatmeal, Coffee),(Eggs, Coffee),(Pancakes,Coffee),[/tex] [tex](Oatmeal, Tea),(Eggs, Tea),(Pancakes,Tea)\}[/tex]

Kim and Danielle each improved their yards by planting hostas and ivy. They bought their supplies from the same store. Kim spent $62 on 5 hostas and 4 pots of ivy. Danielle spent $144 on 8 hostas and 12 pots of ivy. What is the cost of one hosta?

Answers

Answer:

The cost of one hosta is $6

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of linear equations is a set of two or more equations of the first degree, in which two or more unknowns are related.

Solving a system of equations consists of finding the value of each unknown so that all the equations of the system are satisfied.

In this case, the variables are:

x = price of a hosta .y = price of a pot of ivy.

If Kim spent $62 on 5 hostas and 4 pots of ivy, t his is represented by the equation: 5*x +4*y= 62

If Danielle spent $144 on 8 hostas and 12 pots of ivy, t his is represented by the equation: 8*x +12*y=144

So, the system of equations to solve is:

[tex]\left \{ {{5*x+4*y=62} \atop {8*x+12*y=144}} \right.[/tex]

One way to solve a system of equations is through the substitution method, which consists of solving or isolating one of the unknowns (for example, x) and substituting its expression in the other equation. In this way, you obtain an equation of the first degree with the other unknown, and. Once solved, you calculate the value of x by substituting the already known value of y.

Isolating y from the first equation:

[tex]y=\frac{62-5*x}{4}[/tex]

and replacing this expression in the second equation you get:

[tex]8*x +12*\frac{62-5*x}{4}=144[/tex]

Solving:

[tex]8*x +\frac{12}{4}*(62-5*x)=144[/tex]

8*x + 3*(62-5*x)=144

8*x + 3*62 - 3*5*x=144

8*x + 186 - 15*x=144

8*x  - 15*x=144 -186

(-7)*x= -42

x= (-42)÷ (-7)

x= 6

The cost of one hosta is $6

PLEASE HELP Michaels home is 12 feet below sea level in his mothers home is 12 feet above sea level Michael says their homes are at opposite elevation is because they are in opposite directions is he correct? Explain. I only have 2 more days to finish my work!​

Answers

Answer:

Yes, he is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Michael's home with M and his mother's with H

So, we have:

[tex]M = 12\ ft (below)[/tex]

[tex]H = 12\ ft (above)[/tex]

Required

Is Michael correct?

First, we get the numeric values of the given parameters.

Below sea level means negative:

So:

[tex]M = 12\ ft (below)[/tex] will be rewritten as:

[tex]M = -12[/tex]

Above sea level means positive:

So:

[tex]H = 12\ ft (above)[/tex] will be rewritten as:

[tex]H = 12[/tex]

Two numbers [tex]A\ and\ B[/tex] are said to be opposite if [tex]A + B=0[/tex]

For Michael to be correct:

[tex]M + H = 0[/tex]

Substitute values for M and H

[tex]-12 + 12 = 0[/tex]

[tex]0 = 0[/tex]

Hence, Michael is correct

What is 4/5 + 3/4 I need it for my homework

Answers

Answer:

4/5 + 3/4 = [tex]1\frac{11}{20}[/tex] or 1.55

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved by first finding the highest common factors of denominators of the two fractions, i.e. 4 and 5.

The highest common factor of 4 and 5 can be found by multiplying the two numbers as follows:

The highest common factor of 4 and 5 = 4 * 5 = 20

This can now be used to solve  4/5 + 3/4 as follows:

4/5 + 3/4 = ((4 * 4) + (5 * 3)) / 20 = (16 + 15) / 20 = 31 / 20 = [tex]1\frac{11}{20}[/tex] or 1.55

Therefore, we have:

4/5 + 3/4 = [tex]1\frac{11}{20}[/tex] or 1.55

the length of a rectangular feild exceeds its breadth by 15m and perimeter is 90m. Find its area​

Answers

Answer:

450

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = l

Breadth = b

l = 15 + b

Perimeter = 90

Perimeter = 2(l + b)

90 = 2(15 + b + b)

90 = 2(15 + 2b)

90 = 30 + 4b

90 - 30 = 4b

60 = 4b

60/4 = b

15 = b

Hence, l = 15 + 15 = 30

Area = l * b

Area = 30 * 15

Area = 450 unit²

Answers

[tex]h(x) = 40x - 16x^2\\h(x) = 15\\40x - 16x^2 = 15\\-16x^2 + 40x - 15 = 0\\[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

ok easy as pie

interior plus exterior is 180 degrees

so 180-130=50

we know the last angle = 50

now lets add them all up and they should be equal to 180

all traingles interior angles add up to 180

180=(-21x+1)+(11x+1)+(50)

now solve

180=-21x+1+11x+1+50

180=-10x+52

52-10x=180

subtract 52

-10x=128

-12.8=x

x=-12.8 or −64 /5
