Part B: Which function has a greater y-intercept? Justify your answer. (4 points)

Answers

A. The slope of g(x) is greater. Because g(x) is written in slope intercept form (mx+b), we know that the slope is simply the m value, which, in this case, is 7. For f(x) we know that the slope is 3 because for each increment of x, y increases by 3. 7>3
B. g(x) has a greater y intercept. Because g(x) is written in slope intercept form, we know that the intercept is simply the b value, which is 2 in this case. For f(x), we know that slope interceot is the value of y when x=0. When x=0 in this case, y=0. 2>0

A triangle has side lengths 9, 10, and 12. is it acute, obtuse, or right? explain.

Answers

Let "a", "b" and "с"  be sides of the triangle ("с" is the longest side). The triangle will be:
right if       a² + b² = c²
аcute if     a² + b² > c²    
obtuse if   a² + b² < c²    

We have a=9, b=10 and c=12

a² + b² = 9² + 10² = 81 + 100 = 181
and
c² = 12² = 144

181 > 144   ⇒  аcute triangle.

Final answer:

By applying the Pythagorean theorem and comparing the square of the longest side to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, it is determined that a triangle with sides of 9, 10, and 12 is an acute triangle since 144 is less than 181.

Explanation:

To determine whether a triangle with side lengths of 9, 10, and 12 is acute, obtuse, or right, we can apply the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. If this condition is met, the triangle is right-angled. If the square of the longest side is greater than the sum of the squares of the other two sides, the triangle is obtuse. Conversely, if the square of the longest side is less than the sum of the squares of the other two sides, the triangle is acute.

For this triangle, the side lengths squared are:

9² = 8110² = 10012² = 144

Adding the squares of the two shorter sides: 81 + 100 = 181.

Since 144 < 181, the square of the longest side (12²) is less than the sum of the squares of the other two sides, indicating that this triangle is acute.

Find a and b so that the polynomial, p(x)=x^2+ax-b passes through the points (6,-9) and (1, 16)

Answers

The given equation is:

p(x) = x^2 + ax - b

We write this in terms of y:

y = x^2 + ax – b

To solve for the values of the constants a and b, we are given the following conditions:

When x = 6, y = -9

When x = 1, y = 16

From these conditions, we can formulate two equation by substituting the values of y:

-9 = 6^2 + a(6) – b

6a = b – 45                           ---> 1

 

16 = 1^2 + a(1) – b

a = b + 15                             ---> 2

 

Combining equations 1 and 2:

6 (b + 15) = b – 45

6b + 90 = b – 45

5b = -135

b = -27

 

calculating for a using equation 1:

a = b + 15

a = -27 + 15

a = -12

A roller coaster climbs 84 feet on the first hill then drop 60 feet down. on the second hill the roller coaster climb another 32 feet then drops 44 feet. what is te height at the end of the second hill ?

Answers

84 - 60 = 24
24 + 32 = 56
56 - 44 = 12

The answer is 12.

Answer:

12 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

A roller coaster climbs the height on first hill = 84 feet.

Then drops down = 60 feet.

Height gained by the roller coaster =  84 - 60

                                                         = 24 feet

On other hill roller coaster climbs = 32 feet

Height gained by the roller coaster = 24 + 32 = 56 feet.

It drops again to the height = 44 feet

So the final height at the second hill = 56 - 44

                                                            = 12 feet

Therefore, height of roller coaster on the second hill is 12 feet.

An angle measures 7pi/9 radians. What is the degree measure of the angle?

Answers

To convert into degrees:

1. You should know the percentage of the angle with respect to 2pi:

(7pi/9) / (2pi) = 7/18

2. Then, multiply the ratio to the 2pi angle in degrees, which is 360

360 * (7/18) = 140
(7pi/9)(180/pi)
140°

multiplying by 180/pi give you a degree measure

A square garden plot has an area of 75 ft2. a. Find the length of each side in simplest radical form. b. Calculate the length of each side to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Answers

A square garden plot has an area of 75 ft2.
a. Find the length of each side in simplest radical form.
First, a square area (A) = length (l)^2
A(ft2) = l^2 --> so l(ft) = square root (sr) of A
l = srA = sr75
Next, factor out 75 into number with even roots: 25•3 = 75
So l = sr25•sr3 --> l = 5•sr3 ft
5•sr3 is in the simplest radical form

b. Calculate the length of each side to the nearest tenth of a foot.
l = sr3 = 1.732 --> so 5•1.732 = 8.66ft
Tenth is one place to the right of the decimal, so l = 8.7 ft

Answer:

a)the length of each side is [tex]5\sqrt3[/tex] feet

b)In the nearest tenth the length of the side is 8.7 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the square garden is 75 square feet.

a) Let x  be the length of each side.

We know that,

[tex]\text{Area of square}=\text{(Side)}^2[/tex]

Hence, we have

[tex]75=x^2\\\\x=\sqrt{75}\\\\x=5\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Thus, the length of each side is [tex]5\sqrt3[/tex] feet

b)

In the nearest tenth the length of the side is 8.7 feet.

Concrete can be purchased by the cubic yard. How much will it cost to pour a slab 17 ft by 17 ft by 2 in. for a patio if the concrete costs $40.00 per cubic yard? (1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet)

Answers

Answer:

It will cost approximately $71.360.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The dimension of the concrete is 17 ft by 17 ft by 2 in.

1 ft = 12 inches ⇒ 2 inches = 1/12 × 2 = 1/6 ft.

Thus, the dimension of the concrete is 17 ft by 17 ft by 1/6 ft.

Now, the volume of the concrete = 17 × 17 × 1/6

[tex]=\frac{289}{6}\text{ cubic ft}[/tex]

We know that,

1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet

[tex]\implies 1 \text{ cubic feet}=\frac{1}{27}\text{ cubic yards}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \frac{289}{6}\text{ cubic ft}=\frac{289}{6}\times \frac{1}{27} = \frac{289}{162}\text{ cubic yards}[/tex]

Since,  the concrete costs $40.00 per cubic yard.

Hence, the total cost of concrete = [tex]\frac{289}{162}\times 40=\frac{11560}{162}=\$71.3580247\approx \$71.360[/tex]

The total cost of concrete is,

C = $71.4

We have to give that,

Dimensions of the concrete are,

17 ft by 17 ft by 2 in.

And, the concrete costs $40.00 per cubic yard.

Since we know that,

1 feet = 12 inches

Hence,

2 inches = 2/12 = 1/6 feet

Thus, the dimension of the concrete is 17 ft by 17 ft by 1/6 ft.

So, the Volume of the concrete,

V = 17 x 17 x 1/6

V = 48.2 cubic feet

Here, 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet

And, the concrete costs $40.00 per cubic yard.

Hence, the total cost of concrete is,

C = 48.2 × 40 / 27

C = $71.4

w=2.7248 (round to 2.72 m)

2.72*3=8.16+1 = 9.16

Longest side = 9.16 meters

Answer:

C.) 9.16 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the two sandboxes have same area and the equation is given by 25 = w*(3w+1).

Now, we simplify this equation in order to find the value of unknown variable 'w'.

i.e. 25 = 3[tex]w^{2}[/tex]+w

i.e. 3[tex]w^{2}[/tex]+w-25=0

The two factors of this quadratic equation are w=2.72 and w= -3.05.

But, as 'w' represents the length of the box, so it cannot be negative.

Therefore, w = 2.72

So, the longest side of the box is (3w+1) = 3*2.72+1 = 9.16 meter

Hence, the length of longest side to the nearest hundredth is 9.16 meter.

For the graphed function f(x) = (2)x + 2 + 1, calculate the average rate of change from x = −1 to x = 0. graph of f of x equals 2 to the x plus 2 power, plus 1. (6 points) −2 2 3 −3

Answers

Next time you should write the correct form of equation because it affects greatly the answer. I believe the correct form would be:

f (x) = 2 * x^2 + 1

where the second 2 is a power of x

The average rate of change is also defined as the slope of the equation. Therefore:

average rate of change = slope

Where slope is:

m = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1) = [f (0) – f (-1)] / (x2 – x1)

 

Calculating for f (0): x2 = 0

f (0) = 2 * 0^2 + 1 = 1

Calculating for f (-1): x1 = -1

f (-1) = 2 * (-1)^2 + 1 = 3

 

Substituting the known values to the slope equation:

average rate of change = (1 – 3) / (0 – 1)

average rate of change = -2 / -1

average rate of change = 2

 

Answer: 2

Answer:

I believe the proper form of this question is actually... as I have also come across this question.

"For the graphed function f(x) = (2)^(x + 2) + 1, calculate the average rate of change from x = −1 to x = 0."

Step-by-step explanation:

the y2 - y1/ x2 - x1, will actually be (-1,3) and (0,5).

This means you will get a 5 + 1 (because subtracting a -1 is the same as adding 1) over 0 - 3.

Next you have 6/-3 which will give you a answer of -2

Now I do believe the proper answer is actually 2 because the graph shows a chart that is growth, not decay, but the math gives a -2 which is confusing.
