Audrey & Jack begin a candlelight

dinner at 5pm with a 9-inch candle. At

8pm, their candle is only 3 inches.

What is the average rate of change of

the height of the candle per hour?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

-2 inches per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the average rate of change is just like finding the slope. So, take the y values (height) and subtract them and divide that by the difference in the x values (time).

( 3 - 9 ) / ( 8 - 5 )

= -6 / 3

= -2 inches per hour

On a coordinate plane, an exponential function approaches x = 0 in quadrant 1 and curves down and to the right into quadrant 4.

Answers

Answer:

Your answer would be the second option.

Explanation:

As it is looking for an exponential decay function, you must find one. As an exponential function has to be sloping negatively, you must find the graph that does just this. The only graph that does is graph number two. Henceforth your answer is graph number two, or B. (I also did this quiz, and got a 100%)

The graph represents g(x) is B) On a coordinate plane, an exponential function decreases from quadrant 2 into quadrant 1 and approaches y = 0.

What is exponential growth or decay function?

Consider the function:

[tex]y = a(1\pm r)^m[/tex]

where m is the number of times this growth/decay occurs, a = initial amount, and r = fraction by which this growth/decay occurs.

If there is negative sign, then there is exponential decay happening by r fraction or 100r %

The graph of f(x) = 2x is shown.

it is looking for an exponential decay function, As an exponential function has to be sloping negatively.

Draw the graph of the equation by using the table shown below:

x      f(x)

-2      -4

-1       -2

0       0

The graph the exponential function approaches y = 0 in quadrant 1.

The function increases into quadrant 2 and It crosses the y-axis at (0, 1).

Hence, the correct option is B) On a coordinate plane, an exponential function decreases from quadrant 2 into quadrant 1 and approaches y = 0.

What is future value of a single cash flow?

The future value of a single cash flow like the $2,000 is the future equivalent worth of the initial amount when interest earned is added to it.

The future value in this case can be determined as shown thus:

FV=PV*(1+r)^N

FV=unknown future value

PV=initial investment=$2000

r=interest rate=2%

N=years of investment , 1 and 2 years respectively

FV after one year:

FV=$2000*(1+2%)^1

Mark me BRAINLIEST

Answer:

a = 67° , b = 26° , c = 69°

Step-by-step explanation:

a and 67° are corresponding angles and are congruent , so

a = 67°

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

The triangle on the left has 3 equal sides thus is equilateral with 3 congruent angles of 60°

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles , that is

b + 34° = 60° ( subtract 34° from both sides )

b = 26°

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

The vertex of the triangle and 42° are vertically opposite and are congruent

vertex = 42°

The triangle has 2 equal legs and is isosceles with 2 base angles congruent.

c = [tex]\frac{180-42}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{138}{2}[/tex] = 69°

Identify the point that is not on the line 15x + 60y = 180
a (4,2) c (12, 1)
b (0,3) d (8, 1)

Answers

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the coordinates of the points into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then the point lies on the line.

(4, 2 ) → 15(4) + 60(2) = 60 + 120 = 180 ← point on line

(12, 1 ) → 15(12) + 60(1) = 180 + 60 = 240 ← point not on line

(0, 3 ) → 15(0) + 60(3) = 0 + 180 = 180 ← point on line

(8, 1 ) → 15(8) + 60(1) = 120 + 60 = 180 ← point on line

The point (12, 1 ) is not on the line → c

[tex]\frac{x}{12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{10}{20}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

Find the time it takes for a rocket following the path, h(x) = -2x2 + 18, to hit the ground. 2 sec 3 sec 8 sec 9 sec

Answers

The time it takes for a rocket  to hit the ground is 3 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given equation for height as

where

x is the time in seconds

When object hits the ground

then height becomes 0

so, we can set h(x)=0

and then we can solve for x

Subtract both sides by 18

So,

the time it takes for a rocket  to hit the ground is 3 seconds

The topic of an informative piece is the writer's feelings about the subject which is the correct answer that would be an option (B).

What is information writing?

Informational writing is a piece of writing that is truthful and aims to educate or explain a topic to the reader. This teaches primary school students how to write realistic, insightful essays on a variety of topics.

It gives the reader fundamental information about a certain issue, which serves to inform the reader. Informational writing, unlike other types of writing, does not aim to influence the reader's opinion or inspire them to take action.

The informational writing is straightforward and succinct. It does not include any superfluous words, flamboyant notions that might confuse the readers or too detailed terminology.

Therefore, the correct answer would be option (B).

Answer:

Triangle number one is a right triangle. Triangle two is an equilateral triangle. Triangle three which is below triangle one is an obtuse triangle. The fourth triangle is an acute triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

One is a right triangle because it has one right angle.

Two is an equilateral triangle because all of the three angles are 60 degrees.

Three is an obtuse triangle because one of the three angles is more than 90 degrees.

Finally, 4 is an acute triangle because all of the three angles are less than 90 degrees
