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)

What are the vertical and horizontal asymptotes for the function f (x) = StartFraction 3 x squared Over x squared minus 4 EndFra
Leona [9260]

Answer:

The vertical asymptotes are at x = 2 and x = -2.

The horizontal asymptote is located at y = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

f(x)=\dfrac{3x^2}{x^2-4}

Transform it into the following:

f(x)\\ \\=\dfrac{3x^2}{x^2-4}\\ \\=3\dfrac{x^2-4+4}{x^2-4}\\ \\=3\left(1+\dfrac{4}{x^2-4}\right)\\ \\=3+\dfrac{12}{(x-2)(x+2)}

This function is not defined when the denominator equals zero. This occurs when x = 2 or x = -2, resulting in two vertical asymptotes located at x = 2 and x = -2.

<pThe horizontal asymptote is determined to be y = 3.

There are 35 students in art class and 57 students in dance class. Find the number of students who are either in art class or in
zzz [9066]

Answer:

a. 80 students

b. 92 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Designate arts students as A and dance students as D.

Thus, we have,[['[TAG_14]]

n(A) = 35

n(D) = 57

Required

To determine n(A or D)

For (a):

We find that:

n(A and D) = 12

The calculation for n(A or D) is as follows:

n(A or D) = n(A) + n(D) - n(A and D)

n(A or D) = 35 + 57 - 12

n(A or D) = 80

b. Given the details

n(A and D) = 0 since no students are enrolled in both classes as indicated in (a)

Using the same formula as in (a).

n(A or D) = n(A) + n(D) - n(A and D)

n(A or D) = 35 + 57 - 0

n(A or D) = 92

Megan's room was remodeled. The new area of the room is 175% of the previous area. Only the length of the room changed. part a)
Zina [9157]

Response: a) \frac{175}{100}xy\\\\=1.75xy\\\\

b)  The area has grown by 0.75 square meters.

Detailed breakdown:

Let the room's length be l

Let the room's breadth be 'b'

The area of a rectangle is calculated using the formula:

Area=Length\times breadth\\\\Area=l\times b

Per the problem, the room's new area equals 175% of its old area.

Thus, a) The new area of the room is determined as

\frac{175}{100}xy\\\\=1.75xy\\\\

This indicates a 175% increase in the room's length, resulting in a 175% increase in area.

b) The increase in square meters for Megan's room area is

1.75xy-1xy=0.75\\\\\text{So, by 0.75 square meters the new area is increased.}

Adam can earn money recycling aluminium cans .each can weighs 15g and he can get paid 50p per kg . If Adam earns £15 , how many
Leona [9260]

There are 0.015 kilograms in 15 grams. Since each can weighs 0.015 kg and the payment rate is 50p per kilogram, 0.015 multiplied by 66 amounts to 1 kilogram! Therefore, 66 cans are needed to generate one kilogram. As a result, earning £15 would mean that with 2 kg equating to one dollar, then 15 multiplied by 2 equals 30. Consequently, 66 times 30 gives 1980!

66 relates to each kilogram, and 30 indicates how many 50p are required for one dollar!

Thus, to obtain £15, Adam has to recycle a total of 1980 cans!
