The weight, w, in tons of a school bus is related linearly to its seating capacity, p. a 60-passenger bus weighs 10 tons, and an

84-passenger school bus weighs 13 tons. which equation can be used to find the weight of a 50-passenger bus?

A linear equation representing the relationship between two entities can be expressed as:
                                    y = ax + b
Here, x denotes the number of passengers while y represents the weight (in tons). Based on the initial two scenarios,
                                    10 = 60(a) + b
                                     13 = 84(a) + b
The calculated values for a and b are 0.125 and 2.5 respectively.
For a bus designed for 50 passengers,
                                    y = (50)(0.125) + 2.5
This results in y being equal to 8.75.

The correct option is D!

w - 10 = 1/8(50 - 60)

<span>A table representing a function is provided below.
x    1    2    3    4    5
y    1   16  64 256 1,024

According to the data in the table, from x = 2, the value of y can be represented as
y=4^x
which is equivalent to
4^2=16 \\ 4^3=64 \\ 4^4=256 \\ 4^5=1,024
This indicates an exponential function.

Which expression is equivalent to (10x)^-3?
Inessa [12570]
(10x)^(-3)
= 1/[(10x)^3]
= 1/[10^3 * x^3]
= 1/(1000x^3)

The final result is 1/(1000x^3), and none of the given choices seem correct. (Option C would be correct if it used round brackets.)

Hope this helps~

Inessa [12570]
A) The cost to send a package that weighs 3.2 pounds is $4.13. Since this weight exceeds 3 pounds but remains below 4 pounds, we have to refer to the pricing that applies to 4-pound packages (see the attached document for pricing details).

b) To illustrate the Media Mail shipping costs based on the weight of the books, a line graph is appropriate. In this graph, the weight in pounds is represented on the x-axis and the shipping costs on the y-axis.

c) The graph depicting the Media Mail shipping costs as a function of book weight will be represented by the equation: f(x) = 2.69 + 0.48(x-1)

Milton is floating in an inner tube in a wave pool. He is 1.5 m from the bottom of the pool when he is at the trough of a wave.
lawyer [12517]
To tackle this sinusoidal question, we begin with the following: Using the formula; g(t)=offset+A*sin[(2πt)/T+Delay] According to sinusoidal theory, the duration from trough to crest is typically half of the wave's period. Here, T=2.5 The peak magnitude is calculated as: Trough-Crest=2.1-1.5=0.6 m amplitude=1/2(Trough-Crest)=1/2*0.6=0.3 The offset from the center of the circle becomes 0.3+1.5=1.8 As the delay is at -π/2, the wave will commence at the trough at [time,t=0]. Plugging these values into the formula gives: g(t)=1.8+(0.3)sin[(2*π*t)/2.5]-π/2] g(t)=1.8+0.3sin[(0.8πt)/T-π/2]
