The winning time for the men's, 400-meter race in each of the Olympic Games from 1976 to 1996 can be modeled by the equation
y=-0.054x+44.54, where x is the number of years after 1976 and y is the
winning time in seconds. If the relationship Continues, which equation
could be used to predict the winning time in the year 2020? *

step-by-step explanation:

no

step-by-step explanation:

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   (7x + 6y) ( 49x^2 - 42xy + 36y^2)

discussion:

in general, the factorization of a^3 + b^3 is

a^3 + b^ 3 = (a + b) ( a^2 - ab + b^2)

in our case note that 343 = 7^3 and 216 = 6^3 so the equation becomes:

343x^3 + 216y^3 = (7x)^3 + (6y)^3

if you think of a (above) as 7x and b as 6y the factorization becomes

343x^3 + 216y^3 =

((7x + 6y) (   (7x)^2 - 7x*6y + (6y)^2)   =

(7x + 6y) ( 49x^2 - 42xy + 36y^2)

you,

mrb

(a + b) (a^2 - a b + b^2)

it's a proportional graph.

step-by-step explanation:

8 x 5 = 40         (and you have -8x and -5y)

x= absiss

y= orderly

so you have a proportional graph.
