Y2-y1=6-4=2
x2-x1=2-1=1
2/1=2
The slope is 2
y=2x+b
4=2(1)+b
4=2+b
-2
2=b

y=2x+2

jason runs 440 yards in 75 seconds. At this rate, how many minutes does it take him to run a mile? (1 mile = 1,760 yards).

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Jason runs 440 yards in 75 seconds

using proportion

Find out how many minutes does it take him to run a 1.760 yards (one mile)

$\frac{440}{75}=\frac{1,760}{x}\\\\x=1,760(75)/440\\\\x= 300\ sec$

Convert seconds to minutes

Divide by 60

$300\ sec=300/60=5\ min$

The length of each side of an equilateral triangle is increased by 20%, resulting in triangle ABC. If the length of each side of

kompoz [17]

Answer: Area of ΔABC is 2.25x the area of ΔDEF.

Step-by-step explanation: Because equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides, area is calculated as

$A=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} a^{2}$

with a as side of the triangle.

Triangle ABC is 20% bigger than the original, which means its side (a₁) measures, compared to the original:

a₁ = 1.2a

Then, its area is

$A_{1}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}(1.2a)^{2}$

$A_{1}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}1.44a^{2}$

Triangle DEF is 20% smaller than the original, which means its side is:

a₂ = 0.8a

So, area is

$A_{2}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} (0.8a)^{2}$

$A_{2}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} 0.64a^{2}$

Now, comparing areas:

$\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}= (\frac{\sqrt{3}.1.44a^{2} }{4})(\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}.0.64a^{2} } )$

$\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}} =$ 2.25

The area of ΔABC is 2.25x greater than the area of ΔDEF.

Write a function describing the relationship of the given variables.

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

The function is A = 10√r

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the meaning of direct variation

- The direct variation is a mathematical relationship between two

variables that can be expressed by an equation in which one

variable is equal to a constant times the other

- If Y is in direct variation with x (y ∝ x), then y = kx, where k is the

constant of variation

* Now lets solve the problem

# A is varies directly with the square root of r

- Change the statement above to a mathematical relation

∴ A ∝ √r

- Chang the relation to a function by using a constant k

∴ A = k√r

- To find the value of the constant of variation k substitute A and r

by the given values

∵ r = 16 when A = 40

∵ A = k√r

∴ 40 = k√16 ⇒ simplify the square root

∴ 40 = 4k ⇒ divide both sides by 4 to find the value of k

∴ 10 = k

- The value of the constant of variation is 10

∴ The function describing the relationship of A and r is A = 10√r
