5/4 - 2/3 =
15/12 - 8/12 =
7/12 of a mile left <==
from the question, (-2,2) and (1,2) have the same y value so you can use that as your base and easily find the perpendicular height using the y axis since it's parallel to the x axis.
the third point, (0,-6), to the base is your height
use the sum of the positive of the y values to find your height (because height can't be negative): 6+2 = 8
area of a triangle = 1/2 bh = 1/2 x 3 x 8 = 12
Note: 1/2 bh only works because (-2,2) and (1,2) form a line parallel to the x axis
Answer:
At Day 27, approximately 50.2% of the population is uninfected and that
means that approximately half of the population has been infected.
Given:
The inequality is:
To find:
The values that make the given inequality true.
Solution:
We have,
It means the value of h must be less than or equal to 2.
In the given options, the list of numbers which are less than or equal to 2 is
-6, -3, -1, 1, 1.9, 1.99, 1.999, 2
The list of numbers which are greater than 2 is
2.001, 2.01, 2.1, 3, 5, 7, 10
Therefore, the first 8 options are correct and the required values are -6, -3, -1, 1, 1.9, 1.99, 1.999, 2.
Answer:
Choice C: Lauren is faster than Kevin, slower than Jeremy.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, so it directly says that Jeremy is going at y=12x, or 12 miles per hour. To find how fast Kevin is riding, take two points of the table and use the slope formula to get the speed(.
Slope Formula: (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
So lets take the table plots (2, 22) and (4, 33) to do this.
(y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
(33-22) / (4-2)
(11) / (2)
The speed of Kevin is 5.5 miles by hour.
Then, it asks for how fast Lauren is going, saying she is twice as fast as Kevin. Therefore, simply do:
5.5 * 2 = 11 miles per hour
To get the third biker's speed.
Now, with all of the speeds of the bikers, we can now compare them. Here's a listing of their speeds to make things easier to compare:
Jeremy: 12 mph
Kevin: 5.5 mph
Lauren: 11 mph
From this, we can see that Lauren is the second fastest. She is slower than Jeremy but faster than Kevin. Therefore, the correct answer choice is C.
