Not sure what you mean by "runs along the top."

You can put this solution on YOUR website!I need help breaking down and finding the equeation for x-intercept -3, y-intercept 5
-----------------
"breaking down" is not a math operation I'm familiar with.
--------------
you have 2 points, (-3,0) and (0,5)
Slope = diffy/diffx = 5/3 = m
--> y = (5/3)x + 5
---------------------
That's not "the" equation, it's an equation that fits.
5x - 3y = -15 is another.

a=pots; b=pans; c=glasses; So, 4a + 3b + 21c = 476
Now what?
----------------
So, 4a + 3b + 21c = 476
The trick is, a, b & c are integers. You can't have 2/3 of a pot or pan.
-----------
4 + 3 + 21 = 28
476/28 = 17
-----
pots = 4*17 = 68
pans = 3*17 = 51
glasses = 21*17 = 357

You can put this solution on YOUR website!15 labourers can lay 85 metres of cable in 10 days. How long will it take
a) 12 labourers to ly 85 metres of cable?
b) 8 labourers to lay 100 metres of cable?
----------------
15 labourers can lay 85 metres of cable in 10 days.
85 metres = 15*10 man-days = 150 man-days
--------
a) 12 labourers to ly 85 metres of cable?
150 man-days/12 men = 12.5 days
----------
b) 8 labourers to lay 100 metres of cable?
-----
= (100/85)*(12/8) = 1200/340 days
=~ 35.29 days

Perimeter = 2W + 2L
292 = 2W + 2L

Trigonometry-basics/591078: How can I prove this identity? (1-cos^2theta)(1+cos^2theta)=2sin^2theta-sin^4theta?
I tried to do it, and this is what I've come up with so far, and am not sure if I am doing it correctly.
Working with the left side, I have the following:
sin^2theta(1+cos^2theta) =
sin^2theta+(sin^2theta*cos^2theta)
And then it stops.

(1+cos^2theta) = 2 - sin^2theta?
1+cos^2theta + sin^(t) = 2
cos^2(t) + sin^(t) = 1
I'm convinced.

---------------
The "speed of the plane without a wind" is called the airspeed, and it's the average of the 2 groundspeeds.
-------------
The windspeed is the difference between airspeed and groundspeed.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!What is the effect of on volume of tripling the dimensions of this cylinder? The radius is 2 and the height is 7.
--------------
If both the radius and the height are tripled, the volume is multiplied by 27.
-------------
The radius is 2 and the height is 7.
That is not relevant. It's x27 for any dimensions.

===================
Both eqns are linear, straight lines.
You need 2 points to plot a straight line.
Pick 2 values for 1 variable and find the other.
Plot the 2 points.
Draw a line thru them.
========================
Do the same for the other eqn.
Notice that the intersection is the solution to the system.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!Name an angle on the interval [0,2pi] that is coterminal with an angle whose measure is -19pi/5
----------------
Add 2pi repeatedly until you get a positive value
---
-19pi/5 + 10pi/5 = -9pi/5
-----
-9pi/5 + 10pi/5 = pi/5
------
= pi/5

Travel_Word_Problems/591040: A plane flew 1740 km in 6 hours with tail wind. On return trip, going into the wind, the plane flew 570 km in 3 hours. What is the planes speed if there was no wind. 1 solutions

You can put this solution on YOUR website!A plane flew 1740 km in 6 hours with tail wind. On return trip, going into the wind, the plane flew 570 km in 3 hours. What is the planes speed if there was no wind.
----------------
1740 km/6 hr = 290 km/hr
570 km/3 hr = 190 km/hr
-------------
The plane's airspeed is the average = 240 km/hr
-----------------
The term is airspeed, and planes don't use kilometers.
They use nautical miles and knots.

Money_Word_Problems/590908: You recieve a penny on January 1st, two cents the next day, four cents the next and so on,doubling every day. How long will it take to be a millionaire? Suppose you started with a nickle and doubled, how long before you were worth a million dollars? 1 solutions

You can put this solution on YOUR website!You recieve a penny on January 1st, two cents the next day, four cents the next and so on,doubling every day. How long will it take to be a millionaire?
---
The total each day is  cents.
$1,000,000 = 100,000,000 cents.

d*log(2) = log(99999999}
d = log(99999999)/log(2)
d =~ 26.575 days
--> 26 days
-------------------
Suppose you started with a nickle and doubled, how long before you were worth a million dollars?
$1,000,000 = 100,000,000 cents = 20,000,000 nickels
Amt =

d*log(2) = log(19999999}
d = log(19999999)/log(2)
d =~ 24.25 days
--> 25 days
----------------
Not much difference. If you multiply by 5 each day, it was reduce the time more drastically.
