Determine whether the following statement is true or false.
A proper use of units can help us to determine the meaning of the slope of a linear function.

Answers

Answer 1
The correct answer would be true
Answer 2

Here we want to see if the statement:

"A proper use of units can help us to determine the meaning of the slope of a linear function" is true or false.

We will see that it is true.

First, a general linear equation can be written as:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope, x is the independent variable, y is the dependent variable, and b is the y-intercept.

The proper use of units is:

y and b must have the same units.

x can have any type of units

The slope must have the quotient between the units of y and the units of x.

Where the proper use of units means that we have the same units on both sides of the expression.

Now, assume that we know the units of y and x.

For example:

y is miles  (then b is also in miles)

x is in hours

Then, with the proper use of units, we can see that the units of the slope are:

miles/hour, or miles per hour.

With this (only knowing the units of x and y) we can see that the slope will be a speed.

So yes, the proper use of units is really important, as this has a lot of information (particularly, the meaning of the slope in a linear equation)

Thus, the statement is true.

The net of a rectangular prism is shown below. What is the total surface area of this prism?

A. 112 cm²
B. 142 cm²
C. 105 cm²
D. 71 cm²

Answers

Answer:   142 cm^2  (choice B)

=========================================================

Explanation:

Think of unwrapping a present and doing so without any unnecessary tearing. That means there aren't any little small pieces thrown away. There are many ways to unwrap a 3D box, and this diagram shows one of many ways. This flat layout is the 2D version of the 3D surfaces.

To find the surface area of the 3D figure, we simply need to find the area of each rectangle in this 2D flat net. Once we know all the little areas, we add them up to get the surface area.

------------------------------

The lowest rectangle is 3 cm by 5 cm, so its area is 3*5 = 15 cm^2. Let A = 15 so we can use it later.

Let's move to the middle row of four rectangles. From left to right, we have these four rectangular areas

3*7 = 21 cm^25*7 = 35 cm^23*7 = 21 cm^25*7 = 35 cm^2

I'll call these results B,C,D,E in the order given above. So B = 21, C = 35, etc.

The rectangle up top has area of 3*5 = 15 cm^2. I'll let F = 15

Lastly, we'll add up the sub-areas to get the grand total

A+B+C+D+E+F = 15+21+35+21+35+15 = 142 cm^2 is the surface area

------------------------------

Another pathway to the answer:

If you can picture how this flat diagram would fold up, then you would see that we'd get a 3D block with the following dimensions

L = 7 cmW = 5 cmH = 3 cm

The order of L,W,H doesn't really matter.

Then we can use the 3D block surface area formula like so

SA = 2*(LW + LH + WH)

SA = 2*(7*5 + 7*3 + 5*3)

SA = 2*(35 + 21 + 15)

SA = 2*71

SA = 142 cm^2 is the surface area

As you can see from the third step, we have "35", "21" and "15" show up again. The 2 out front is because we have 2 copies of each item mentioned.

Please help me I really need it

Answers

You take the first equation and make a value for y. So 6x + y =7 change it to :
y = -6x + 7
Now in the second equation replace the “y” with -6x +7 this is what it means to use substitution method . Your combined equation will now be :
8x + 9(-6x + 7) =17
Now do distributive property and you get :
8x + -54x +63 =17
Now combine like terms ;
-46x +63 =17
-46x =-46
x = 1
Now replace 1 for X value and we can get the value of Y .
Y=1
X=1

Jimmy's dog weighed 60 pounds 4 months ago. Since then his weight has increased by 6% How much does Jimmy's dog weigh now

Answers

Answer: 3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

63.6 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Jimmy's dog's weight was 60 pounds 4 months ago and now it is weighing 6% heavier.

So 6% of 60 is

[tex]\frac{x}{60} *100=6[/tex]

x=360/100

x=3.6

six quarts of paint is equally shared among 9 artists. how many quarts of paint does each artist get?

Answers

Answer:

2/3 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

Paint used by 9 artists = 6 quarts

So, paint used by 1 artist if shared equally among the 9 artists

= 6 quarts/9

= 2/3 quarts

= 0.6666...... quarts

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, each artist would get approximately 0.67 quarts of paint.

To determine how many quarts of paint each artist gets when six quarts of paint are equally shared among nine artists, we can divide the total amount of paint by the number of artists. 6 quarts ÷ 9 artists = 0.6667 quarts per artist

To "equally share" means to divide or distribute something equally among a group of individuals or entities. It implies that each person or entity involved receives an equal portion or share of the item being distributed. This division ensures fairness and equal opportunities for everyone involved. The goal is to ensure that each recipient receives an equal amount or proportion of the item being shared.

[tex]x^{1/8}y^{8}[/tex]

======================================================

Explanation:

The two rules we use are

[tex](a*b)^c = a^c*b^c[/tex]

[tex](a^b)^c = a^{b*c}[/tex]

When applying the first rule to the expression your teacher gave you, we can say that:

[tex]\left(x^{1/4}y^{16}\right)^{1/2} = \left(x^{1/4}\right)^{1/2}*\left(y^{16}\right)^{1/2}[/tex]

Then applying the second rule lets us say

[tex]\left(x^{1/4}\right)^{1/2}*\left(y^{16}\right)^{1/2} = x^{1/4*1/2}*y^{16*1/2} = x^{1/8}y^{8}[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]\left(x^{1/4}y^{16}\right)^{1/2} = x^{1/8}y^{8}[/tex]

-------------

In short, we just multiplied each exponent inside by the outer exponent 1/2.

So that explains why the exponents go from {1/4,16} to {1/8,8} for x and y in that exact order.

The area of the trapezoid is given by A = 121.26 feet²

What is a trapezoid?

The Trapezoid is a 4 sided polygon. Two sides of the shape are parallel to each other and they are termed as the bases of the trapezoid. The non-parallel sides are known as the legs or lateral sides of a trapezoid.

There are three types of trapezoids , and those are given below:

a) Isosceles Trapezoid

b) Scalene Trapezoid

c) Right Trapezoid

The area of the Trapezoid is given by

Area of Trapezoid = ( ( a + b ) h ) / 2

where , a = shorter base of trapezium

b = longer base of trapezium

h = height of trapezium

Given data ,

Let the area of the trapezoid be represented as A

Now , the equation will be

Let the height of the trapezium be H = 9.4 feet

The shorter base of the trapezium a = 12 feet

The longer base of the trapezium b = 13.8 feet

Now , Area of Trapezoid = ( ( a + b ) h ) / 2

On simplifying the equation , we get

Area of Trapezium A = ( ( 13.8 + 12 ) 9.4 ) / 2

Area of Trapezium A = 121.26 feet²

Hence , the area of trapezium is 121.26 feet²
