A. T= d/r
A good way to remember this is by making a pyramid with 3 parts and putting distance at the top and rate and time in the other two parts. This way you can visibly see the equation and use it if you need to find one for rate.

B. It's reasonable to write distance as a positive number because distance is always positive. You are not able to have a negative distance. Imagine someone standing on a side walk. Even if they are not moving, their distance is 0 which is positive. If they move backwards or forwards, their distance is still positive because it is more than that 0 and they are gaining something. 

C. Just plug in the numbers into the formula.
T= d/r
T= 32.12 m /<span>8.8 m/min
T= 3.65 min

What is the x in this equation <br><br> 14x−8=4
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

x =  6  / 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

14 x − 8 = 4

Step 1: Add 8 to both sides.

14x − 8 + 8 =  4 + 8

14x = 12

Step 2: Divide both sides by 14.

14 x  / 14  =  12  / 14

x =  6  / 7

Hope it helps

Algebra 2: answer these three questions. all of the questions are in the picture below
Kisachek [45]

1)

i) Reflection about y axis i.e. x=0

ii) Horizontal shrink by scale factor 4

iii) vertical shift by 4 units up.

-----------------------------------

2) f(x) passes through (1,-1) and (0,1)

So slope = (1+1)/(0-1) = -2

Using point slope form equation of f(x) is

y-1 = -2 (x-0) or y = -2x+1

g(x) passes through (0,-1) and (1,1)

Slope = (2/1) = 2

So using point slope form g(x) is

y-1=2x  

Hence we find that y-1 = -2x is transformed into y-1 = 2x

i.e. there is a reflection of f(x) on the line y =1
