Not sure about the linear equation but Jeremy catches up in 3 min.
1. divide 33 by 3 = 11 so Gerardo runs 1 mile in 11min
2. 11-8 =3 so Jeremy catches up in 3 min
Z
Z=kX
When x=6, z=18,
Finding value of z,
18=k*6
k=3
Z=3X
when x=10,
Z=3*10
Z=30
Part B;
Z
z=
Where x is a constant of proportionality,
when x=3, z=2
2=
a=3*2
a=6
When x is 13,
Z=
<em>Presuming you mean y = -2x^2 - 8x - 13</em>
Firstly, put the x terms in parentheses and factor out -2:
Next, we want to make what's inside those parentheses a perfect square. To do this, divide the x coefficient by 2 and square that result. In this case, that result is 4. Add 4 to the inside of the parentheses, and add 8 to the outside of the parentheses to balance it out. (Since when foiled, 4 x -2 = -8)
Next, factor what's inside the parentheses, and <u>your final answer will be </u>
The answer is 1.551 or 6.449
