when a load of 5 pounds is placed on a spring, its length is 6 inches, and when a load of 9 pounds is placed on the spring, its length is 8 inches. what is the average rate of change of the length of the spring as the load varies from 5 pounds to 9 pounds? give units on your answer

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Four inches every four and a half pounds

Answer 2

The average rate of change of the length of the spring as the load varies from 5 pounds to 9 pounds is 0.5 inches per pound.

What is average?

It is a measure of how much the function changes per unit, on average, over the given interval.

We have,

5 pounds loaded on a spring:

The length of the spring is 6 inches.

9 pounds loaded on a spring:

The length of the spring is 8 inches.

The average rate of change in the length of the spring as the load varies:

= (8 - 6) / (9 - 5)

= 2 / 4

= 1 / 2

= 0.5 inches per pound

Thus the average rate of change of the length of the spring as the load varies from 5 pounds to 9 pounds is 0.5 inches per pound.

the basement of a building is 40 feet below ground level . the elevator rises of 5 feet per second . you enter the elevator in the basement write an equation that represents the height y (in feet) of the elevator

Answers

Answer:

y=5x-40

Step-by-step explanation:

It says 5 feet per second, so you know that is the rate/speed. The rate is always going to be x. The building starts in the basement which is  -40 because the basement is under ground level, so it would be less then 0 (ground level) and y is the final height you are at.

A- 1/8 times 2

B- 7/8 times 2

C- 1/2 times 4

D- 1/4 times 8

The correct answer would be D- 1/4 times 8

This is the correct answer because if you look at the model, it shows 2 blocks of 1, and then 8 blocks of 1/4, which both equal 2, and the model does not say anything about the top row, only the bottom, and after process of elimination, you would be left with 1/4 times 8

Need help geometric sequences see pic for details

Answers

Given:

The recursive formula of a geometric sequence is

[tex]a_n=a_{n-1}\cdot (\dfrac{1}{8})[/tex]

[tex]a_1=-3[/tex]

To find:

The explicit formula of the given geometric sequence.

Solution:

We know that, first term of geometric sequence is [tex]a_1=-3[/tex].

Recursive formula of a geometric sequence is

[tex]a_n=a_{n-1}\times r[/tex]      ...(i)

where, r is common ratio.

We have,

[tex]a_n=a_{n-1}\cdot (\dfrac{1}{8})[/tex]    ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

[tex]r=\dfrac{1}{8}[/tex]

The explicit formula of a geometric sequence is

[tex]a_n=a_1r^{n-1}[/tex]

Putting [tex]a_1=-3[/tex] and [tex]r=\dfrac{1}{8}[/tex], we get

[tex]a_n=-3\left(\dfrac{1}{8}\right)^{n-1}[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is D.

write the equation for the line that is parallel to y=2/3x-5 and goes through the point (-12/2)

Answers

Answer:

I put the equation into Point-Slope Form and got:

y - 2 = 2/3(x + (-12))

Distribute the 3 to the numbers on the left:

3y - 6 = 2(x - 12)

Multiply the Parenthesis by 2:

3y - 6 = 2x - 24

Add 6 to the right side:

3y = 2x - 18

Divide both sides by 3:

y = 2/3x - 6 is the answer :)

So this is just an easy substitution problem. We want to start off writing the question y= 2/3x-5 and then off to the side writing (-12, 2) labeling -12 as X and 1 as Y. Then we want to pick whether we want to solve for X or y first (it doesn’t matter) I chose to solve for X first but to solve for x you need to substitute 2 in from the given pair that was given to you. You replace Y in the original equation with 2 and then solve the equation as normal, add like pairs (add five to each side, we’re trying to get x alone), then you have 7= 2/3x, divide 2/3 on each side and you’ll get X= 10.5. So now we have to solve for Y, to solve for Y we need to replace the X in the original equation (y= 2/3x- 5) for -12 in the given pair that was given to you. So you’ll have Y= 2/3(-12) -5, now filling pemdas we’ll multiply 2/3 and -12 and get -8 then we subtract 5 from -8 and we get Y= -13. So our final answer should always be in an ordered pair, we should have (10.5, -13) as the final answer.

Answers

Answer:

5/6−1/9=13/18

Step-by-step explanation:

The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.

(5/6×3/3)−(1/9×2/2)=?

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes

15/18−2/18=?

The two fractions now have like denominators so you can subtract the numerators.

Then:

15−2/18=13/18

This fraction cannot be reduced.

Therefore:

5/6−1/9=13/18

What is the decimal multiplier to decrease by 2.7%?

Answers

Multiplying by 1 keeps it the same. A number greater than 1 would be an increase and a number below 1 would be a decrease.

The decrease is 2.7% which is written as 0.027 as a decimal.

Subtract that from 1:

1 - 0.027 = 0.973

The multiplier would be 0.973

Sharon runs a screen-printing business. To print T-shirts each day, it costs her $200 in labor plus $5 per T-shirt for materials. Her income is $15 for each T-shirt she sells. How many T-shirts does Sharon need to sell each day in order for her costs to equal her income for that day?


(i mainly need the equation for this problem)

Answers

Answer:

Equation: 15n = 200 + 5n

Number of T-shirts: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find an expression for the costs for 1 day for making n number of T-shirts and an expression for the income for 1 day for selling n number of T-shirts. Then we set the expressions equal and solve for n, the number of T-shirts.

Expenses in 1 day:

The expenses are a fixed cost of $200 plus the cost per T-shirt.

$200 plus $5 per T-shirt

We need an expression for the cost per T-shirt in terms of n, the number of T-shirts.

If she makes 1 T-shirt, she spends $5 * 1.

If she makes 2 T-shirts, she spends $5 * 2.

If she makes n T-shirts, she spends $5 * n, or simply 5n.

Her total costs for a day are:

200 + 5n

Income in 1 day:

All the income comes from selling T-shirts.

She sells 1 T-shirt for $15 * 1.

She sells 2 T-shirts for $15 * 2.

She sells n T-shirts for $15 * n, or simply 15n

Her total income for 1 day is:

15n

Now we set the costs equal to the income and solve for n.

15n = 200 + 5n           <---------   here is the equation you need

Subtract 5n from both sides.

10n = 200

Divide both sides by 10.

n = 20

Answer: She needs to sell 20 T-shirts.

Lin is shopping for a couch with her dad and hears him ask the salesperson, “How much is your commission?” The salesperson says that her commission is 5 12% of the selling price.



a. How much commission will the salesperson earn by selling a couch for $495? Round to the nearest cent.

Answers

Assuming you meant the commission is 12%, the salesperson will make $59.40 from selling the couch. If you take 495 multiplied by the percentage which in this case is 12 then divide that by 100, you get 59.40 you can also simply input 495 multiplied by 12 and then the % symbol and get the same answer.

Which transformation from the graph of a function f(x) describes the graph of 5f(x)

Answers

Answer:

Dilation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Main function: f(x)

Resulting function: 5f(x)

Required

Which transformation exists between both functions

The general explanation is that:

When a function f(x) is multiplied by a constant k, the resulting function g(x) is a dilation of f(x).

Mathematically, if the following relationship exists between f(x) and g(x)

g(x) = k.f(x)

Then g(x) is a dilation of f(x) and k is the constant of proportionality or dilation ratio

In this case:

g(x) = 5f(x)

So, the transformation that answers the question is dilation.

Player 1's position is Player 2's position reflected across the y-axis; only the signs of the x-coordinates of Player 1 and Player 2 are different.

Answers

Player 1 is at (-7,5).

Player 2 is at (7,5).

To find:

The relationship between the positions of the two players.

Solution:

The two points are (-7,5) and (7,5).

Here, x-coordinates are different but y-coordinates are same. The absolute values of x-coordinates are equal but the signs are different.

The transformation is defined as

[tex](x,y)\to (-x,y)[/tex]

It means, the points are mirror image of each other with respect to y-axis.

Player 1's position is Player 2's position reflected across the y-axis; only the signs of the x-coordinates of Player 1 and Player 2 are different.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
