Barbara, Mark, and Carlos participated in the third heat of “The Big Race”. Barbara thought she could win with a 3 meter head st

art even though she only pedaled 3 meters every 2 seconds. Mark began at the starting line and finished the 20-meter race in 5 seconds. Meanwhile, Carlos rode his tricycle so that his distance (y) from the starting line in meters could be represented by the equation y = x + 1, where x represents time in seconds. Who would win in a 20 meter race?

Distance to travel = 20 m.
Let us determine the time, t, that each participant took to complete 20 m.

Barbara:
Average speed = (3 m)/(2 s) = 1.5 m/s
t = 20/1.5 = 13.3 s

Mark:
t =  5 s

Carlos:
y = x + 1
where
y = 20 m
x = time, t
Therefore
t =x = y - 1 = 20 - 1 = 19 s

Summary:
Barbara:  13.3 s
Mark:       5 s
Carlos:     19 s

Answer:
The winner is Mark

scoundrel [369]
Hello there,

We need to remember that Mode means: the number that appears more than others.

18 will be your correct answer because the number 18 appears 2 times. And there is no other number that appears 2 times except 18.

18 is your answer.

A gas station sells unleaded regular and unleaded premium gasoline. The price per gallon charged by the station is$1.299 for unl
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

a) Revenue function = 1.299r + 1.379p

where: r = gallon of unleaded regular gasoline and p = gallon of regular unleaded premium gasoline

b) cost function = 1.219f + 1.289p

c) profit function = (1.299r + 1.379p) - (1.219f + 1.289p) = 1.299r - 1.219r + 1.379p - 1.289p = 0.08p + 0.09p

d) total profit = (0.08 x 100,000) + (0.09 x 40,000) = $8,000 + $3,600 = $11,600

Find the equation of a line that passes through the point (2,1) and has a gradient of 2. Leave your answer in the form ax + by =
Arte-miy333 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

normally, if we have the gradient (or slope of inclination or change rate) and a point, we start using the point-slope form :

y - y1 = a(x - x1)

with (x1, y1) being a point on the line, and a being the slope of gradient (or ... however you want to call it).

y - 1 = 2(x - 2) = 2x - 4

y + 3 = 2x

2x - y = 3
