Answer:
1) B. $12
2) B. Rich burns 1 more calorie per minute than Katie
3) C. Jeffery walks 5 meters per minute slower than Fumi.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) earnings / hours = salary
salary = 24/2 = 60/5 = 96/8 = 12
salary = $12
2) The question describes Rich's graph to have the function of "y=8x." The graph shown that represents Katie's number of burned calories has the function of "y=7x." From that we can conclude Rich burns one more calorie per minute. See attached file for graph.
3) The question describes Fumi's graph to have the function of "y=85x." In order to find the function of Jeffrey's graph, we must use the two points provided from the graph. The point (10, 800) tells us that the point (1,80) would also fall on the line. From that, we can determine Jeffery's function to be "y=80x." 80 is 5 less than 85, so Fumi walks 5 meters per minute faster than Jeffery.
Start by writing the system down, I will use to represent
Substitute the fact that into the first equation to get,
Simplify into a quadratic form (),
Now you can use Vieta's rule which states that any quadratic equation can be written in the following form,
which then must factor into
And the solutions will be .
Clearly for small coefficients like ours , this is very easy to figure out. To get 5 and 6 we simply say that
.
This fits the definition as and
.
So as mentioned, solutions will equal to but these are just x-values in the solution pairs of a form
.
To get y-values we must substitute 3 for x in the original equation and then also 2 for x in the original equation. Luckily we already know that substituting either of the two numbers yields a zero.
So the solution pairs are and
.
Hope this helps :)
