You use a garden hose to fill a wading pool. If the water level rises 17 centimeters every 4 minutes and you record the data point of (12,y), what is the value of y? Use slope to justify your answer
Answer:
51
Step-by-step explanation:
so we can use the variable x for minutes & y for water level. (4,17) is what we start with. its asking after 12 minutes what is the water level, 4 x 3 is 12 so we would multiply 17 x 3 as well which is 51.
the 9th term of arithmetic sequence. Use the formula for 'an' to find 'a20', the 20th term of the sequence 7,3,-1,-5
We will find the value of the 20th term of the sequence 7, 3, -1, and -5.
We have the following sequence:
[tex]7,3,-1,-5[/tex]Finding the common differenceIf we have an arithmetic sequence here, we need to find the common difference for this sequence, and we can do that by finding the difference between the second term and the first term, the difference between the third term and the second term, and so on. If we obtain the same value for the common difference, we have an arithmetic sequence here.
Then we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} d=3-7=-4 \\ \\ d=-1-3=-4 \\ \\ d=-5-(-1)=-5+1=-4 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then the common difference in this arithmetic sequence is d = -4.
Finding the formula for the arithmetic sequenceWe know that the explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is:
[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]For this case, we have that d = -4, and that the first term, a1 = 7. Then we have the formula for the arithmetic sequence:
[tex]a_n=7+(n-1)(-4)[/tex]Notice that we can expand this expression as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a_n=7+(-4)(n)+(-4)(-1) \\ \\ a_n=7-4n+4 \\ \\ a_n=11-4n \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]Finding the 20th termThen to find the 20th term of the sequence, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a_{20}=7+(20-1)(-4) \\ \\ a_{20}=7+(19)(-4) \\ \\ a_{20}=7-76=-69 \\ \\ a_{20}=-69 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, in summary, we have that the value for the 20th term of the sequence 7, 3, -1, and -5 is -69.

Andrew says the scale factor used was 3\2. Annie says the scale factor used was 2\3.Which student is correct and why?
Answer:
Annie is right, beause the coordinates of the points A'B'C' are 2/3 of the coodinates of the points ABC
and the size of the triangle A'B'C' is 2/3 of the size of the triangle ABC
for example:
Side AC lenght is 6 units and A'C' is 4
To go from 6 to 4, the factor must be 2/3
The table shows the outcome of car accidents in a certain state for a recent year by whether or not the driver wore a seat belt. Find the probability of wearing a seat belt, given that the driver did not survive a car accident. Part 1: The probability as a decimal is _ (Round to 3 decimal places as needed.) Part 2: The probability as a fraction is _
Conditional probability is a measure of the probability of an event occurring, given that another event has already occurred.
The table shows the outcome of car accidents by whether or not the driver wearing a seat belt.
Let's call:
A = The event of the driver wearing a seat belt in a car accident.
B = The event of the driver dying in a car accident
The conditional probability is calculated as follows:
[tex]P(A|B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}[/tex]The conditional probability stated in the formula is that for the driver wearing a seat belt knowing he did not survive the car accident.
The numerator of the formula is the probability of both events occurring, i.e., the driver wore a seat belt and died. The denominator is the simple probability that the driver died in a car accident.
From the table, we can intersect the first column and the second row to find the number of outcomes where both events occurred. The probability of A ∩ B is:
[tex]P(A\cap B)=\frac{511}{583,470}[/tex]The probability of B is:
[tex]P(B)=\frac{2217}{583,470}[/tex]The required probability is:
[tex]P(A|B)=\frac{\frac{511}{583,470}}{\frac{2217}{583,470}}[/tex]Simplifying the common denominators:
[tex]P(A|B)=\frac{511}{2217}=0.230[/tex]Find any value of x that makes the equation x + 100 = x - 100 true.
Since the sides are the same, this problem is unsolvable

1. Write the equation of the line with a slope of -3 that passes through the point (1,9).y=3x + 12y=3x + 6y=-32 +6y=-3x+12
Answer:
y = -3x + 12
Explanation:
The equation of a line with slope m that passes through the point (x1, y1) can be calculated as:
[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]So, replacing m by -3, and (x1, y1) by (1, 9), we get:
[tex]y-9=-3(x-1)[/tex]Finally, solving for y, we get:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y-9=-3x-3(-1) \\ y-9=-3x+3 \\ y-9+9=-3x+3+9 \\ y=-3x+12 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the answer is:
y = -3x + 12

In general, a dilation is the outcome of applying the following transformation on a point,
[tex]D(x,y)\to(kx,ky)[/tex]Where k is the scale factor, this kind of dilation is about the origin, and we will use it since the problem does not specify otherwise.
In our case, the transformation is
[tex]D(x,y)\to(\frac{x}{2},\frac{y}{2})[/tex]Then,
[tex]\begin{gathered} D(A)=D(-6,5)\to(-3,\frac{5}{2}) \\ D(B)=D(3,2)\to(\frac{3}{2},1)_{} \\ D(C)=D(0,-1)\to(0,-\frac{1}{2}) \end{gathered}[/tex]On the other hand, a reflection over the x-axis is given by the following transformation.

[tex]\begin{gathered} A^{\prime}=R_x(-3,\frac{5}{2})=(-3,-\frac{5}{2}) \\ B´=R_x(\frac{3}{2},1)=(\frac{3}{2},-1) \\ C^{\prime}=R_x(0,-\frac{1}{2})=(0,\frac{1}{2}) \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the answers are
A'=(-3,-5/2)

Find the 11th term of the arithmetic sequence -5x- 1, -8x + 4, -11 x+ 9, ...
Recall that an arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which the next term is obtained by adding a constant term to the previous one. Let us consider a1 = -5x-1 as the first term and let d be the constant term that is added to get the next term of the sequence. Using this, we get that
[tex]a_2=a_1+d[/tex]so if we replace the values, we get that
[tex]-8x+4=-5x-1+d[/tex]so, by adding 5x+1 on both sides, we get
[tex]d=-8x+4+5x+1\text{ =(-8+5)x+5=-3x+5}[/tex]To check if this value of d is correct, lets add d to a2. We should get a3.
Note that
[tex]a_2+d=-8x+4+(-3x+5)=-11x+9=a_3[/tex]so the value of d is indeed correct.
Now, note the following
[tex]a_3=a_2+d=(a_1+d)+d=a_1+2d=a_1+d\cdot(3-1)[/tex]This suggest the following formula
[tex]a_n=a_1+d\cdot(n-1)[/tex]the question is asking for the 11th term of the sequence, that is, to replace the value of n=11 in this equation, so we get
[tex]a_{11}=a_1+d\cdot(10)=-5x-1+10\cdot(-3x+5)\text{ =-5x-1-30x+50 = -35x+49}[/tex]so the 11th term of the sequence is -35x+49

114. If plane X averages 800 mph and plane Y averages 400 mph, how manyhours will plane X travel before it overtakes plane Y if plane Y has a 2 hourand 30 minute head start?a.1b. 2c. 5d. 72
To determine the time taken for the plane X to travel:
If plane X averages 800 mph and plane Y averages 400 mph
Distance column is found by multiplying the rate
by time.
The time taken for plane Y to travel = 2hr 30 minutes = 2.5hrs head start
Be sure to distribute the 400(t +2.5)for Plane Y,
and Plane X to distribute 800t
As they cover the same distance
[tex]\begin{gathered} Dis\tan ce\text{ is equal ,} \\ 800t=400(t+2.5) \\ 800t=400t+1000 \\ 800t-400t=1000 \\ 400t=1000 \\ t=\frac{1000}{400} \\ t=2\frac{1}{2}hr \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore the plane X will travel for 2 1/2 hours
Hence the correct answer is Option B

Find a standard form of the equation for the circle with the following property
Solution:
Given:
[tex]Endpoints\text{ }(-7,5)\text{ and }(-5,-1)[/tex]To get the equation of the circle, the center of the circle and the radius are needed.
The center of the circle is the midpoint of the endpoints.
Using the midpoint formula;
[tex]\begin{gathered} M=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}) \\ where: \\ x_1=-7,y_1=5 \\ x_2=-5,y_2=-1 \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus,
[tex]\begin{gathered} M=(\frac{-7+(-5)}{2},\frac{5+(-1)}{2}) \\ M=(\frac{-12}{2},\frac{4}{2}) \\ M=(-6,2) \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the coordinates of the center of the circle is (-6,2)
The length of the diameter can be gotten using the distance between two points formula;
[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} where: \\ x_1=-7,y_1=5 \\ x_2=-5,y_2=-1 \\ Hence, \\ d=\sqrt{(-5-(-7))^2+(-1-5)^2} \\ d=\sqrt{2^2+(-6)^2} \\ d=\sqrt{4+36} \\ d=\sqrt{40} \end{gathered}[/tex]The diameter is twice the radius. Hence, the radius is;
[tex]\begin{gathered} r=\frac{d}{2} \\ r=\frac{\sqrt{40}}{2}=\frac{2\sqrt{10}}{2} \\ r=\sqrt{10} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the equation of the circle with center (-6,2)
[tex]with\text{ radius }\sqrt{10}[/tex]Using the standard form of the equation of a circle;
[tex]\begin{gathered} (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 \\ where: \\ (h,k)\text{ }is\text{ }the\text{ center} \\ r\text{ is the radius} \\ h=-6 \\ k=2 \\ r=\sqrt{10} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the equation is;
[tex]\begin{gathered} (x-(-6))^2+(y-2)^2=(\sqrt{10})^2 \\ (x+6)^2+(y-2)^2=10 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the equation of the circle is;
[tex](x+6)^{2}+(y-2)^{2}=10[/tex]
what is the slope of the line that passes through the points of (5,3) (5.-9)
Answer:
undefined
Step-by-step explanation:
slope = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)
slope = (-9 - 3)/(5 - 5)
slope = -12/0
Since the slope calculation involves division by zero, this line has undefined slope. The two points have the same x-coordinate, so the line is vertical. The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
