Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The basic equation to solve this would be D = RT, which is

D is Distance

R is Rate (speed)

T is time

To find total distance D, we can find individual distances for two legs of the whole.

First Leg:

R = 8

T = a

D = 8a

Second Leg:

R = 7.5

T = b

D = 7.5b

Total distance D is:

D = 8a + 7.5b

Moreover, we know student runs 45 minutes in total hence a + b = 45 or we can say a = 45 - b, so we can replace this in the equation found:

D = 8a + 7.5b

D = 8(45 - b) + 7.5b

Answer choice D is right.

Describe the graph of y=3/4x-12 as compared to the graph of y=1/x

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Parent function is compressed by a factor of 3/4 and shifted to right by 3 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to describe the transformation of function $y=\frac{3}{4x-12}$ as compared to the graph of $y=\frac{1}{x}$ .

We can write our transformed function as:

$y=\frac{3}{4(x-3)}$

$y=\frac{3}{4}*\frac{1}{(x-3)}$

Now let us compare our transformed function with parent function.

Let us see rules of transformation.

$f(x-a)\rightarrow\text{Graph shifted to the right by a units}$ ,

$f(x+a)\rightarrow\text{Graph shifted to the left by a units}$ ,

Scaling of a function: $a*f(x)$

If a>1 , so function is stretched vertically.

If 0<a<1 , so function is compressed vertically.

As our parent function is multiplied by a scale factor of 3/4 and 3/4 is less than 1, so our parent function is compressed vertically by a factor of 3/4.

As 3 is being subtracted from x, so our parent function is shifted to right by 3 units or a horizontal shift to right by 3 units.

Therefore, our parent graph is compressed by a factor of 3/4 and shifted to right by 3 units to get our new graph.

Help please

ValentinkaMS [17]

Because none of the points on the number line are above 0, we know that the points will be negative.
This eliminates the second and third choices, as they contain positive numbers.
The first point, A, is a number less than -0.5 or -1/2
The first choice matches A with -5/16, which is less than -0.5 or -1/2
Therefore, the fourth choice must be the correct answer.

There are 18 female students and 16 male students in a class. Which of the following expresses the ratio of female students to m

fiasKO [112]

Hey!

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

Solution:

The ratio is FEMALES to MALES.

So its 18/16, 18:16, or 18 to 16.

~Now we need to simplify.

18:16 → 18/2:16/2 → 9:8

*Note* When you have a ratio you need to know which comes first. If you put males to females that incorrect. It has to be correct according to the question.

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

Answer:

$\large\boxed{B)~9~to~8}$

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
