answer
m/d = V
question
The formula for the lateral area of a right cone is LA = πrs, where r is the radius of the base and s is the slant height of the cone. Which are equivalent equations? Check all that apply.
answer
s = LA / πr r = LA / πs
question
The temperature measured in Kelvin (K) is the temperature measured in Celsius (C) increased by 273.15. This can be modeled by the equation K = C + 273.15. When solved for C, the equation is
answer
C = K - 273.15
question
The equation f = v + at represents the final velocity of an object, f, with an initial velocity, v, and an acceleration rate, a, over time, t. Which is an equivalent equation solved for t?
answer
t = f-v/a
question
The goals against average (A) for a professional hockey goalie is determined using the formula A = 60 . In the formula, g represents the number of goals scored against the goalie and t represents the time played, in minutes. Which is an equivalent equation solved for g?
answer
At/60 = g
question
The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where x and y are coordinates of an ordered pair, m is the slope of the line, and b is where the line crosses the y-axis. Which is an equivalent equation solved for the slope, m?
answer
m = V-b/x
question
Solve for a. 7a - 2b = 5a + b
answer
a = 3/2b
question
The area, a, of an ellipse can be determined using the formula a = πxy, where x and y are half the lengths of the largest and smallest diameters of the ellipse. Which is an equivalent equation solved for y?
answer
y = a / (Ï€x)
question
The volume, V, of a rectangular prism is determined using the formula , where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of the prism. Carltren solves for w and writes the equivalent equation w = V/lh. Using this formula, what is the width of a rectangular prism that has a volume of 138.24 cubic inches, a height of 9.6 inches, and a length of 3.2 inches?
answer
4.5 inches
question
Solve for k. 8k + 2m = 3m + k
answer
k = m/7
question
In physics class, Carrie learns that a force, F, is equal to the mass of an object, m, times its acceleration, a. She writes the equation as F = ma, then realizes that each of her homework problems asks her to solve for acceleration. She rewrites the formula as f/m = a. Using this formula, what is the acceleration of an object with F = 7.92 newtons and m = 3.6 kilograms? Express your answer to the nearest tenth.
answer
2.2 m/s2
question
The formula for the circumference of a circle is C = 2Ï€r, where r is the radius and C is the circumference. The equation solved for r is r =c/Ï€2 . Find the radius of a circle that has a circumference of 16.
answer
r = 8
question
The circumference of a circle can be found using the formula C = 2Ï€r. Which is an equivalent equation solved for r?
answer
r = C/2Ï€
question
The slope, m, of a linear equation can be found using the formula m= y2 - y1/ x2 - x1, where the x- and y-values come from two ordered pairs, and (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). What is an equivalent equation solved for y2?
answer
y2 = m(x2 - x1) + y1
question
Solve for w. 5w + 9z = 2z + 3w
answer
w = -7/2z
question
Solve the equation for a. K = 4a + 9ab
answer
a = K/ 4 + 9b
question
Marta is solving the equation S= 2Ï€rh + 2Ï€r2 for h. Which should be the result?
answer
S/2Ï€r -r = h
