A staff gauge measures the height of the water level in a river compared to the average water level. At one gauge the river is 1 ft below its average water level of 10 ft. It begins to rise by a constant rate of 1.5 ft per hour.
Will the river reach a level of 7 ft above normal after 5 hours? Explain.
The river will not reach a level of 7 ft. after 5 hours.
A linear equation is in the form:
y = mx + b
where y, x are variables, m is the rate of change and b is the initial value of y.
Let y represent the height of the water level after x hours.
Since the river is 1 ft below its average water level and begins to rise by a constant rate of 1.5 ft per hour. Hence:
b = -1, m = 1.5. The equation becomes:
y = 1.5x - 1
To reach a level of 7 ft. That is y = 7:
7 = 1.5x - 1
1.5x = 8
x = 5.3 hours
The river will not reach a level of 7 ft. after 5 hours.

Answer:
6.5, will not
Step-by-step explanation:
The water level is 6.5 ft above normal after 5 hours, so it
will not reach a level of 7 ft above normal after 5 hours.
Elena is paid a constant rate for each hour she works. The table shows the amounts of money that Elena earned for various amounts of
time that she worked.
Constant rates are used to illustrate linear functions.
The average rate of change is $9.0 per hourThe function that models the table is: [tex]\mathbf{f(x) = 9x }[/tex]The amount earned in 7.5 hours is $67.5(a) The average rate of change
This is calculated using:
[tex]\mathbf{Rate = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{Rate = \frac{31.5-22.50}{3.5 - 2.5}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Rate = \frac{9}{1.0}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Rate = 9.0}[/tex]
Hence, the average rate of change is $9.0 per hour
(b) A function that models the table of values
Let x represent hours, and y represent the earnings.
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{y =m (x - x_1) + y_1}[/tex]
Where:
m =Rate = 9.0
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{y = 9(x - 2.5) + 22.5}[/tex]
Expand
[tex]\mathbf{y = 9x - 22.5 + 22.5}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{y = 9x }[/tex]
Represent as a function
[tex]\mathbf{f(x) = 9x }[/tex]
Hence, the function that models the table is: [tex]\mathbf{f(x) = 9x }[/tex]
(c) Amount earned for 7.5 hours
This means that x = 7.5
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{f(7.5) = 9 \times 7.5 }[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{f(7.5) = 67.5}[/tex]
Hence, the amount earned in 7.5 hours is $67.5

Facts to know :
-diagonals of rhombus are angle bisector so angle A is double 28
∡A = 28*2 = 56°
-opposite angles in a rhombus are congruent so angle A and angle C have the same measure
∡C = 56°
-the sum of angles in a rhombus is 360°
360 - 2*56 = 360-112 = 248
248 /2 = 124
∡B = ∡D = 124°

Step-by-step explanation: trust me;)
The function which is used to represent the geometric progression 8, 20, 50, 125, 312.5, ... is [tex]a_{n} = 8(2.5)^{n-1}[/tex].
What is geometric progression?sequence where each succeeding term is produced by multiplying each preceding term by a fixed number, which is called a common ratio. This progression is as a geometric sequence of numbers.
Formula for nth term of geometric progression[tex]a_{n} =ar^{n-1}[/tex]
Where,
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] is the nth term of the sequence or geometric progression
n is the total number of terms
r is the common ratio
and a is the first term
According to the given question
We have
A geometric progression
8, 20, 50, 125, 312.5
Now the common ratio for the above progression is given by
[tex]r = \frac{20}{8} = 2.5[/tex]
And the first term is
a = 8
Therefore, the function which is used to represent the above sequence is given by
[tex]a_{n} = 8(2.5)^{n-1}[/tex]
Hence, the function which is used to represent the geometric progression 8, 20, 50, 125, 312.5, ... is [tex]a_{n} = 8(2.5)^{n-1}[/tex].

Rachel, Neil, Caroline share an amount of money.
Rachel gets five time as much money as Neil gets.
Rachel get half as much money as Caroline gets.
what fraction of the amount of money does Rachel get?
The fraction of the money belonging to Rachel is [tex]\frac{5}{16}[/tex]
Let [tex]R[/tex] be the amount of money Rachel has
Let [tex]N[/tex] be the amount of money Neil has
Let [tex]C[/tex] be the amount of money Caroline has
Let [tex]M[/tex] be the total amount of money shared between the three people
Then, from the problem we have the following relationships
[tex]R+N+C=M\\\\5N=R \implies N=\frac{R}{5}\\\\\frac{C}{2}=R\implies C=2R[/tex]
Substituting the formulae for [tex]N[/tex] and [tex]C[/tex] into the sum [tex]R+N+C=M[/tex], we get
[tex]R+\frac{R}{5}+2R=M\\\\\frac{5R+R+10R}{5}=M\\\\\frac{16R}{5}=M\\R=\frac{5M}{16}[/tex]
Or, we can say that, [tex]R=\frac{5}{16}\text{ of }M[/tex]
Therefore, the fraction of money Rachel gets is [tex]\frac{5}{16}[/tex] of the total amount.

in a subway, x men and y women travel. explain what is meant by the expression: y-x
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y - x means the the difference in the number of women compared with men.
So if there are 20 women and 14 men, y - x = 20 -1 4 = 6 , that is 6 more women than men.
If there are more men than women then y - x will have a negative value, and there will be, if we flip the above numbers. 6 more men than women.

PARALLEL PERPENDICULAR OR NEITHER OR SAME LINE
Answer:
Parallel
Step-by-step explanation:
So if they have the same slope but different y-intercepts, it would be parallel because the slope stays the same so the line doesnt change, just the starting point
For example use the following equations
y = x + 2
y = x + 3
In the graph, these equations are parallel
Elizabeth invested $970 in an account paying an interest rate of 6\tfrac{5}{8}6 8 5 % compounded daily. Matthew invested $970 in an account paying an interest rate of 6\tfrac{3}{4}6 4 3 % compounded continuously. After 8 years, how much more money would Matthew have in his account than Elizabeth, to the nearest dollar?
Using continuous compounding and compound interest, it is found that Matthew would have $17 more than Elizabeth in his account.
Compound interest:
[tex]A(t) = P\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}[/tex]
Continuous compounding:
[tex]A(t) = Pe^{rt}[/tex]
The parameters are:
A(t) is the amount of money after t years. P is the principal(the initial sum of money). r is the interest rate(as a decimal value). n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year. t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.For both of them:
Investment of $970, hence [tex]P = 970[/tex]Invested for 8 years, hence [tex]t = 8[/tex]Elizabeth:
Compounded daily, hence [tex]n = 365[/tex].Rate, as a percent, of [tex]6\frac{5}{8} = 6 + \frac{5}{8} = 6.625[/tex], hence [tex]r = 0.06625[/tex].Then:
[tex]A(t) = P\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}[/tex]
[tex]A(8) = 970\left(1 + \frac{0.06625}{365}\right)^{365(8)}[/tex]
[tex]A(8) = 1648[/tex]
Matthew:
Rate, as a percent, of [tex]6\frac{3}{4} = 6 + \frac{3}{4} = 6.75[/tex], hence [tex]r = 0.0675[/tex].Then:
[tex]A(t) = Pe^{rt}[/tex]
[tex]A(8) = 970e^{0.0675(8)}[/tex]
[tex]A(8) = 1665[/tex]
The difference is:
1665 - 1648 = 17
Hence, Matthew would have $17 more than Elizabeth in his account.

-a = -3b
→ Multiply everything by -1
a = 3b
→ Divide both sides by 3
[tex]\frac{a}{3} =b[/tex]
Answer:
b = 2/3a -1/3A

A-2a=2a-2a-3b
A -2a = -3b
Divide each side by -3
A/-3 -2a/-3 = -3b/-3
