Doubling in size,

if the whole dish is filled in an hour (all of it)
how long does it take to fill 1/2 dish?

notice that
1/2 doubled=1/2 times 2=2/2=1 whole dish
therefor it only doubled one more time from the 1/2 point

1hour=all
1hour-6mins=1/2 dish

1hour-6mins=60-6=54 minutes


answer is 54 minutes

If it takes B hours to walk a certain distance at the rate of 3 miles per hour, the number of hours it takes to return the same
natita [175]

Answer:

It will take 0.75B hours for the return leg

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, given that the first leg of the trip was for B hours at 3 miles per hour , we want to calculate the number of hours the return leg will take at 4 miles per hour given that it is the same distance.

Mathematically, we know that ;

Distance = speed * time

So the distance taken on the first leg of the trip would be;

Distance = 3 miles per hour * B hours = 3B miles

Now, this distance was traveled on the return leg also.

This means that the time taken here will be;

Time on return leg = distance/speed = 3B/4 = 0.75B hours

Which of these graphs represent a function?
melomori [17]

Answer:

C.)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are multiple technical ways to explain this but the best one that works for me is the "vertical line test" can be used to find a function or non function. All you have to do is position your pencil vertically, place it to the far left of the graph drag it horizontally across to the right side of the graph. If your pencil is making contact with two lines at one time, it is NOT a function.  Hopefully this makes sense.

He transformation function is (x, y) --> (x + 4, y - 2). The starting point is point A at (-5, 6). Step 1: A: (-5, 6) x: , y:
alex41 [277]

Given:

Rule of transformation is (x,y)\to (x+4,y-2).

Point = (-5,6)

To find:

The missing values in the given steps of transformation.

Solution:

Step 1: A: (-5, 6).

x:-5,y:6

Step 2: Substitute x and y into (x+4,y-2):

(-5+4,6-2)=(-1,4)

Step 3: Do the math:

Point A' is at (-1 ,4 ).

Therefore, the coordinates of the point (-5,6) after the transformation are (-1,4).
