A driver on a highway with little traffic decides to use cruise control. She notices that she passes mile marker 47 when she tur
ns the cruise control on. Thirty-six minutes later, she is just passing mile marker 86. Draw a graph to represent this situation and determine the driver's average speed in miles per hour.
1 answer:
Points (0, 47) and (36, 86) can be placed on the graph and a line drawn through them. That line will have slope (86-47)/(36-0) = 39/36 = 13/12.
At x=60, representing 1 hour on cruise control, the line will have a y-value of 112, indicating the driver has just passed mile marker 112, which is
112 -47 = 65
miles from when cruise control was first turned on.
The driver's average speed is 65 miles per hour.

<h3>What is the recursive rule?</h3>A rule is defined such that its definition includes itself.
Example:
F(x) = F(x-1) + c
is one such recursive rule.
Hareem takes medicine to control his blood pressure.
he takes a 25 mg pill in the morning.
Suppose that 60% of the medicine is processed by hareem's body by the time he takes a second 25 mg pill in the evening.
So, the recursive definition for the amount of the blood pressure medicine in hareem bloodstream after n hours would be;
Hence, option B is correct.
