As a person climbing a mountain increases walking speed, the rate of calories burned, height traveled, and energy expended also increase. Which of the following is the independent variable?

To form an equation from the word problem, first break the given statement into smaller statements.

First, we are given the width of the rectangle as x. We are told, the length is three times width. Mathematically, this means

Length=3*width=3*x=3x

Again, the length is 4 less than 3 times width of the rectangle. Thus, the length of rectangle in terms of width becomes:

Length =3x-4

This is the required equation.

Before finding the area of the pizza, we need to find the radius of the pizza.

Find radius of the pizza in terms of diameter

Next, find area of the pizza using the radius of 6 inches

Substituting r=6 in the equation of the area of a circle

Thus, the pizza has an area of 36 π in2.

We are required to find the doctor’s earning in 4 weeks after taking off taxes.

The first step is to find the total weekly deductions as follows:

Total weekly tax=federal income tax + state income tax + Social Security tax

Total weekly tax=$(85.00+40.00+81.00)

Total tax=$206.00

The next step is to find the weekly income after deducting total taxes

Weekly net income=gross income-total tax

Weekly net income=$(980.00-206.00)=$774.00

In one week, the net income of the doctor is $774.00 and after 4 weeks, the net income will be 4 times his weekly earning

From the cost of 45 syringes, we are required to find the cost of 5 syringes. We set up a proportion equation by letting the cost of 5 syringes to y. Besides, we let the cost to be numerator and number of syringes to be denominator as follows.

Solve the value of y by cross products

Divide both sides by 45

Therefore, 5 syringes will cost $80.00.

A ratio is of the form a : b but can also be converted to a fraction of the form a/b, where b is not equal to zero. Besides, to in ration means per in fraction form.

In the class of 40 students, 22 are girls and 18 are boys. Thus, the ratio of girls to boys becomes:

The above fraction can be reduced further since 2 is a common factor in both 22 and 18. Thus

In ratio form, girls: boys=11:9

Thus, the ratio of girls to boys in a class of 40 students is 11 to 9.

From the given data, we can draw the following triangle by letting the unknown length to be p.

We apply the Pythagoras theorem, the value of p:

The unknown length of the triangle is about 21.4 feet.

Correlation of two variables falls into:

Positive correlation: an increase in one variable causes another variable to increase

Negative correlation: an increase in one variable causes another one to decrease

No correlation: a change in one variable does not cause any response in another variable.

From the given choices

Option a is no correlation

Option b is a no correlation

Option c is a negative correlation

Option d is a positive correlation

We analyze the given statement with the graph given as follows:

For option a: the points per game decreased five times between 1996 and 2015. So, the statement is true.

For option b: the lowest points scored per game was in 1998-99 season. So, the statement is false.

For option c: 2008-09 was the season the chargers scored the greatest number of points per game and not 2002-03 as claimed in the statement. So, this statement is not true.

We use 1 L =1000 mL to convert between the two units. The conversion options of interconversions are:

And

We want millimeters, use the second option to change L to mL as:

Therefore, 2.5 L is equivalent to 2500 mL.

Let x be the original price of the recliner.

Step 1: Apply the 30% discount

The recliner is on sale for 30% less than the original price:

SalePrice=x−0.3x=0.7x

Step 2: Apply the 25% coupon discount

The consumer gets an additional 25% off the sale price:

FinalPrice=0.7x−0.25(0.7x) = 0.525x

Step 3: Solve for x

The consumer paid $237, so:

0.525x=237

​ x≈451.43x

Rounding to the nearest dollar, the original price is $451.
