Okay, Tommy runs in a positive y direction at 3mph, and his position can be expressed as:

T=3t

Then Zach starts running two hours later at 4mph and his position can be expressed as:

Z=4(t-2)=4t-8

The distance between Tommy and Zach can be expressed as the hypotenuse length of a right triangle with the distances for Tommy and Zach being the lengths of the sides...

d^2=T^2+Z^2

d^2=(3t)^2+(4t-8)^2

d^2=9t^2+16t^2-64t+64

d^2=25t^2-64t+64, and we want to know when they are 8 miles apart

25t^2-64t+64=8^2

25t^2-64t+64=64

25t^2-64t=0

25t(t-2.56)=0

So 2.56 hours after Tommy started running they will be 8 miles apart.

To be clear though, this is the time Tommy spent running, or the time that elapsed since Tommy started running.  Zach has only been running for 0.56 hours.  So if they are looking for the time Zach ran it is 0.56 not 2.56 hours.

Answer:

y = √(x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph shown has exactly the same shape as does the graph of y = √x, EXCEPT that the entire graph of y = √x has been translated 3 units to the right.  Thus, the function describing this graph is y = √(x - 3).

Answer:

I am truly sorry if any of these answers are incorrect, I am here to help and I will do my best!

Step-by-step explanation:

A clock that uses hands to tell time is less precise than a clock that uses numbers.

A signal stored on a vinyl record is less easily copied than a signal stored in a computer.

A signal that is continuously varying is less reliable than a signal with limited possible values.

A signal transmitted by the human voice loses more energy as it travels than a signal transmitted by a fiberoptic cable.

Hope this helps! :)

If so, Brainliest would be nice... But it is ok if not :)
