a line with a slope of 1/8 passes through the points (u, -9) and (6, -8). what is the value of u?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:
u = -2

Explanation:
Slope of the line can be calculated using the following rule:
slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

We are given :
slope = 1/8
point (u,-9) represent (x1,y1)
point (6,-8) represent (x2,y2)

Substitute with the givens in the above equation and solve for u as follows:
slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
1/8 = (-8--9) / (6-u)
1/8 = (1) / (6-u)
1* (6-u) = 1*8
6-u = 8
u = 6-8
u = -2

Hope this helps :)

the circumfrence of a circle is 11 pie inches. what is he the area, in square inches, of the circle? Express your answer in terms of PIE

Answers

Please:  use "pi," this mathematical quantity is not written as "PIE."

Since C=2pi*r, and C=11 inches, r=(11 inches)/(2pi), or
                                                    r^2 = (121 sq in)/(2pi)

Then the area of this circle is A = pi*r^2, or pi*(121 sq in)/(4pi^2).  Reduce this and you will then have the area correct.  Its units of measurement are (inches)^2.

So, one thing that we would really want to do in this case would be (always) keeping the bottom denominator always. We would never want to change this hat so ever. So, the first thing that we would do would be sense we know that we are only timing this by only 2, we just add it, to make it ore simple.

4/5+4/5= 1 so far. We now know that we have a whole number.

So then, we subtract 1 from the next fraction. So then, we would then do 1+3/5.

Remember that we took 0.1 from the other fraction.

Therefore, your correct answer would then be (1) 3/5

Suppose you want to buy a bike. The prices are $119, $139, $149, $179, $189, $199, and $209. You want the bike that costs $189. Should you use mean, median, or mode to convince your parents? Explain.

Answers

For mean:
119 + 139 + 149 + 179 + 189 + 199 + 209 = 1183
1183/7 (for the amount you added) = 169

For median: 

119, 139, 149, 179, 189, 199, 209.
Find the middle number: 179 (is your median)

For mode: 

119, 139, 149, 179, 189, 199, 209
Find the number that shows up the most: N/A (they all only show up once)


I believe Median will be your best choice (it has the closest answer to 189)

hope this helps
Hi!

The median would be your best bet at convincing your parents to get you a new bike for $189 because the median which is $179 is the closest value to the one you want.

Can ratios have decimals in them or do all the numbers have to be integers? E.g. is 7.8:1.3:6.5 a valid ratio?

Answers

What you have is a valid ratio in theory, but it might be easier to understand if it were simplified to integers:

78:13:65

It also depends on what your teacher is asking of you.

Final answer:

Yes, ratios can include decimals. They can represent quantities in numerous contexts such as scale distances, dimensions, and proportions. The ratio 7.8:1.3:6.5 is, therefore, a valid expression.

Explanation:

Ratios can indeed include decimals in them; they do not need to be limited to integers. Ratios are a way to compare two or more quantities, which can be whole numbers, fractions, or decimals. Just as fractions, ratios express the relationship between parts of a whole or between two quantities in a specific order. For example, the ratio 7.8:1.3:6.5 is valid and represents the relative quantities of three different entities. In many contexts, such as in scale distances or dimensions, the use of decimal ratios is quite common. When dealing with scale factor to find actual dimensions, the ratio could also include decimals, as it compares the scale dimensions to actual dimensions of an object or distance. For example, on a map with a unit scale of 1 inch equals 100 feet, the ratio would be written as 1/100 or in decimal form, 0.01/1.

4a - 4( 15a - 2) - 8

Answers

Hello!

The problem to solve: 4a - 4(15a - 2) - 8

The first thing to do is to apply the Distributive Property, which is: a(b + c) = ab + ac.

Here we have: -4(15a - 2). We must multiply -4 by 15a and -2. Let's do it.

4a - 4(15a - 2) - 8
4a - 60a + 8 - 8

Now we can go ahead and combine like terms; add the constants and add the a-terms. 4a minus 60a is equal to negative 56a. 8 minus 8 is zero, so the 8's cancel out, and we're left with:

-56a

That's your answer! I hope this helps you. (:
 Hey there!

In order to simplify this expression (notice how it's an expression and not an equation because it's not set equal to something) we can use addition and subtraction, and the distributive property which is defined as:

a(b+c) = ab + ac

Using this property, we can simplify this expression to:

4a - 60a + 8 - 8

Notice how -4(-2) was positive 8.

Simplify "a" terms:

-56a + 8 - 8

Since it's +8 - 8, the 8's cancel out.

Therefore, we just have -56a.

The center on a target has a diameter of 5 inches. The whole target has a diameter of 25 inches. The center of the target takes up ____% of the whole target

Answers

4%

To find the percentage, first find the area of both circles. The area formula is [tex] \pi r^{2} [/tex] . After finding the area of the center of the target (19.625) and the area of the large target (490.625), set up a percent proportion to determine the percentage that the center takes up: 

[tex] \frac{is}{of} = \frac{percent}{100} [/tex]


[tex] \frac{19.625}{490.625} = \frac{percent}{100} [/tex]


Cross multiplying and dividing by 490.625 will give a total of 4%.

A bicyclist heads east at 10km/h. After she has traveled 24.2 kilometers, another cyclist sets out in the same direction going 30km/h. About how long will it take the second cyclist to catch up to the first cyclist?

Answers

We know that the first cyclist has traveled 24.2 km at a speed of 10 km/h. Lets use the equation [tex]time= \frac{distance}{speed} [/tex] to find the time of the first cyclist:
[tex]t= \frac{24.2}{10} [/tex]
[tex]t=2.42[/tex]
So, we know that she has traveled for 2.42 hours.
 
We also know that after she has traveled for 2.42 hours another cyclist sets out in the same direction, so if [tex]t[/tex] represents the time of our first cyclist, the time of our second cyclist will be [tex]t-2.42[/tex].

Now we are going to use the equation [tex]distance=(speed)(time)[/tex] to relate the speeds and times of the two cyclist:
For the first one:
[tex]distance=10t[/tex] equation (1)
For the second one:
[tex]distance=30(t-2.42)[/tex] equation (2)

Replace (1) in (2)
[tex]10t=30(t-2.42)[/tex]
The only thing left now is solve for [tex]t[/tex]:
[tex]10t=30t-72.6[/tex]
[tex]-20t=-72.6[/tex]
[tex]t= \frac{-72.6}{-20} [/tex]
[tex]t=3.63[/tex]

We can conclude that the second cyclist will catch up the first cyclist after 3.63 hours.


Regular triangular pyramid has the slant height k=12 cm and lateral area AL = 198 cm2. Find the length of the base edge.

Answers

To find this answer you will use the formula for finding the area of the triangle because that shape is a triangle.  

A = 1/2 bh
198 = 1/2 x b x 12
198 = 6b
b = 33 cm

We know the total area and we know the slant height is 12 cm so we substitute these in and solve for h.

The length of the base edge is 33 cm.  You should substitute this back in to check.

1/2 x 33 x 12 = 198 square cm.

Answer:

The Answer is: 11 cm

Explain how you can compare the size of a product to the size of a factor when multiplying fractions without actually doing multiplication including model

Answers

Answer: If you multiply a number by a fraction less than 1, the resulting product will be smaller than the original fraction.

Imagine, if you had half a pizza and you ate one-half of that. You would multiply 1/2 by 1/2 and get an even smaller number. The result would be 1/4.

On the other hand, if you multiply a number by a mixed number that is larger than one, the result would be larger than when you started.

The Comparison size of product and factors is shown below.

What are factors?

A factor is a number that completely divides another number. To put it another way, if adding two whole numbers results in a product, then the numbers we are adding are factors of the product because the product is divisible by them.

For example, 3 and 6 are factors of 12 because 12 ÷ 3 = 4 exactly and 12 ÷ 6 = 2 exactly.

A fraction less than one will result in a smaller product than the initial fraction when multiplied by a number.

Imagine that you only ate half of the pizza you ordered.

You would get a smaller value if you multiplied 1/2 by 1/2. It would come out to 1/4.

On the other hand, the outcome would be more than the starting value if you multiplied a number by a mixed number that is greater than one.

When Mr. Krumm purchased a tie he paid $9.27, which included the 3% sales tax. How many dollars did the tie cost before the tax was included?

Answers

If $9.27 includes the 3% tax, then

To find the price before tax, we need to find 100% of the price.

103% = 9.27
1% = 0.09
100% = 0.09 x 100 = $9

The price before tax is $9.

A rectangular piece of poster board measurea 60 centimeters by 80 centimeters. Linn draws the net of a box on the poster board and cuts it out. If the box measures 10 centimeters by 16 centimeters by 27 centimeters, what is the area of the poster board left....



Plz help me....
thank you

Answers

To find the answer for that question you have to find the area of rectangle first, so you say 60*80 which equals to 4800 cm squared and then find the area of the box and not its volume so you say: 2(16*10)=2*160=320 cm squared
                                                              4(16*27)=4*432=1728 cm squared 
add 320+1728= 2048 cm squared 
Finally, to find the area of the left poster board you have to subtract the area of the rectangle which is 4800 cm squared by the area of the box which is 2048 cm squared so 4800-2048=2752 cm squared

Serena is making a model of one of the Egyptian pyramids. The square base has sides that are all 4.4 in. Each of the triangular faces has a base of 4.4 in and a height of 3.8 in. How much paper would it take to cover the entire pyramid?





A.
73.57 sq in
B.
82.78 sq in
C.
52.8 sq in
D.
12.6 sq in


Answers

We can tell that we are solving for area because the question asked "how much paper to cover the entire pyramid". Notice that the image is the net of the pyramid, so we can find the area of the square (base), and then the area of the triangles (walls) and add them all together to find the total area. 

Area of a Square: Length x Width
 
A = 4.4 x 4.4
A = 19.36

Area of a Triangle: [tex] \frac{Base x Height}{2} [/tex]

A = 4.4 x 3.8 ÷ 2
A = 8.36

** We have 4 triangles, and 8.36 is the area for ONE triangle. We can multiply this by 4 to determine the area of all of the triangles together. 

8.36 x 4 = 33.44

Now that we have our area for the base of the pyramid and the walls of the pyramid, we can add them together to determine the total area, and how much paper Serena will need. 

19.36 + 33.44 = 52.8

So, Serena will need 52.8 [tex] in^{2} [/tex] of paper to cover the entire pyramid.
