He gained weight at a rate of  5 . 5 k i l o g r a m s 5.5 kilograms per month. Let  y y represent the sumo wrestlers weight ( i n k i l o g r a m s ) (in kilograms) after x months. Whats the y-intercept?

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

After 11 months, sumo wrestler weighed 140 kilograms.

He gained weight at a rate of 5.5 kilograms per month.

To find:

The y-intercept of the equation which represents y the  sumo  wrestlers  weight (in kilograms)  after x  months.

Solution:

Let y represent the sumo wrestlers weight (in kilograms) after x months.  

It is given that he gained  weight at a rate of  5.5 kilograms per month.

So, slope of the line is 5.5.

After  11  months,  sumo  wrestler weighed  140 kilograms. It means the line passes through the point (11,140).

The point slope form of the line is

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

where, m is slope of the line.

[tex]y-140=5.5(x-11)[/tex]

[tex]y-140=5.5x-60.5[/tex]

Add 140 on both sides.

[tex]y-140+140=5.5x-60.5+140[/tex]

[tex]y=5.5x+79.5[/tex]

Therefore, the required equation is [tex]y=5.5x+79.5[/tex].

Substitute x=0, to find the y-intercept of this equation.

[tex]y=5.5(0)+79.5[/tex]

[tex]y=79.5[/tex]

Therefore, the y-intercept is 79.5. It means initial weight of sumo is 79.5 kilograms.

9) There are six girls and 12 boys in Ms. Jeffry's environmental club. She wants to divide the students into groups with the same number of boys and the same number of girls in each group. What is the maximum number of groups she can make? *​

Answers

No . of girls in Ms. Jeffry's environmental club = 6

No . of boys in Ms. Jeffry's environmental club = 12

To find the maximum number of groups she can make , we have to find the highest common factor ( HCF ) of the number of boys and girls in her club .

Factors of 6 = 1 , 2 , 3 and 6

Factors of 12 = 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 and 12

Hence the highest common factor of 6 and 12 are 6 .

Therefore , the maximum number of groups Ms . Jeffry can make where the number of girls and boys are same are 6 .

(c) Solve your linear equation to determine the number of recipes that Tara will know after 18 weeks in

(d) Explain your answer to Part 1c.
Answer:

Answers

Answer:

(a)  The dependent variable = The total number of new appetizer recipe Tara knows = y

The dependent variable = The total number of new appetizer recipe Tara learns = A

The independent variable = Number of weeks she is in school = x

(b) A = 3 × x

(c) 58 recipes

(d) The total number of recipes Tara knows after 18 weeks = The new recipes she learns during the 18 weeks of school + The number of recipes Tara already knew

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of appetizer recipes Tara already knew = 4

The number of new appetizer recipe she will learn each week of school = 3

(a) The dependent variable = The total number of new appetizer recipe Tara knows = y

The dependent variable = The total number of new appetizer recipe Tara learns = A

The independent variable = Number of weeks she is in school = x

The added constant term = The number of appetizer recipes Tara already knew = 4

(b) The equation for the number of appetizer, A, she will learn during school is give as follows;

The number of new appetizer recipe Tara learns in school = 3 × Number of weeks she is in school +

A = 3 × x

(c) The total number of recipes, y, that Tara will knows after 18 weeks in school is therefore;

y = A(18) + The number of appetizer recipes Tara already knew

A(18) = 3 × 18 = 54

y = 54 + 4 = 58 recipes

(d) The total number of recipes Tara knows after 18 weeks is the sum of the new recipes she learns during the 18 weeks of school and the number of recipes Tara already knew.

What value should go in the empty boxes to complete the calculation for finding the product of 0.59 × 0.37? Both numbers are the same; however, only input the number one time in your answer. 0.59 times 0.37 gives two unknown partial products. The first product is 413. The second product is 1 thousands, an unknown value in the hundreds place, an unknown value in the tens, and 0 ones. These products are being added. Numerical Answers Expected! Answer for Blank 1:

Answers

Answer:

1   7    _7     0

Step-by-step explanation:

From this Given information:

We are to find the product of:

        0.59

×       0.37  

                   

However, the first product is given as 413;

Also, the second product is 1 thousand, an unknown value in the hundreds place, an unknown value in the tens, and 0 ones.

Mathematically; i.e.   1 __ __ 0

i.e.

        0.59

×       0.37        

        4 1 3    

+   1 __ __ 0

                       

So, to work out the unknown; we look for the multiplication of:

        0.59

×       0.37  

                   

This is calculated as:

        0.59

×       0.37  

       4 1 3          

    1 7 7

0 0 0        

1    1  8   3    

Thus:

1183 - 413 = 770

i.e

the unknown value in the hundreds place is highlighted in bold format = 700

the unknown value in the tens place is highlighted in bold format =   70

For the equation 4(2x-3)-(mx+5)=5x+b to be an identity, which of the following must be true about the constants m and b? Show your work

(1) m = 3 and b = -7
(2) m = 8 and b = 17
(3) m = -3 and b = -15
(4) m = 3 and b = 17

Answers

Given:

The equation is

[tex]4(2x-3)-(mx+5)=5x+b[/tex]

To find:

The values of m and b.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]4(2x-3)-(mx+5)=5x+b[/tex]

Using distributive property, we get

[tex]8x-12-mx-5=5x+b[/tex]

On combining like terms, we get

[tex](8-m)x+(-12-5)=5x+b[/tex]

[tex](8-m)x-17=5x+b[/tex]

On comparing both sides, we get

[tex](8-m)=5[/tex]

[tex]-m=5-8[/tex]

[tex]-m=-3[/tex]

[tex]m=3[/tex]

And,

[tex]b=-17[/tex]

Therefore, m = 3 and b = 17.
