 Ray is 12 miles from home.

Let x be Ray's distance from home.  His distance is one leg of a right triangle; 5, Rosa's distance from home, is the other.  The hypotenuse, the distance between them, is 1 more than Ray's distance from home, or x+1.  Using the Pythagorean theorem,

5²+x²=(x+1)²
25+x²=(x+1)(x+1)

Multiplying the binomials, we have
25+x²=x*x+1*x+1*x+1*1
25+x²=x²+1x+1x+1
25+x²=x²+2x+1

Subtracting x² from both sides,
25 = 2x+1

Subtracting 1 from both sides,
24 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2, and we have
12 = x

Ray is 12 miles from home.

A) The greatest rectangular area will be the area of a square 10 m on each side, 100 m^2.

b) The new dimensions will be 11 m × 11 m.
.. The new area will be (11 m)^2 = 121 m^2.

c) The area was increased by 121 m^2 -100 m^2 = 21 m^2, or 21%.

d) Yes, and no.
.. If you increase the dimensions by 10%, the area will increase by 21%.
.. (40 m)^2 = 1600 m^2
.. (44 m)^2 = 1936 m^2 = 1.21*(1600 m^2), an increase of 21% over the original.

.. If you increase the dimensions by 1 unit, the area will increase by (2x+1) square units, where x is the side of the original. For x≠10, this is not 21 square units.
.. (41 m)^2 = 1681 m^2 = 1600 m^2 +(2*40 +1) m^2 = 1600 m^2 +81 m^2

Which of these tables represents a function??
Bumek [7]

Answer:

The first table

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to make sure that x is unique throughout.

First Table: the inputs are 2, 4, 6, 7

each input value is different or unique

Second Table: input values are 3, 5, 3, 5

three and five repeat themselves, so there is not a function

Third Table: input values are -2, 0, 1, -2

negative 2 repeats itself so it is not unique
