Let

t-------> the time in minutes

y------> the distance from home for an ant in feet

we know that

y=4t+2

In this linear equation

the slope m is equal to

m=4\frac{feet}{minute}

The y-intercept is equal to--------> 2

in this problem the y-intercept is the value of the distance in feet when the value of the time in minutes is zero

so

The y-intercept is equal to--------> 2\ feet

therefore

<u>the answer is the option</u>

D. The ant started out 2 feet from its home

"The ant started out 2 feet from its home" is the one among the following choices given in the question that number 2 represent in this function. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the fourth option or option "D". I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your desired help.

Is the expression 2f + 4f + 2 – 3 equivalent to 6f – 1? 6f – 1 evaluated at f = 9 is 53. 2f + 4f + 2 – 3 evaluated at f = 9 is a
morpeh [17]
We have that

the expression 2f + 4f + 2 – 3-------> we can group it   (2f+4f)+(2-3)
(2f+4f)+(2-3)=(6f-1)
therefore
the expression [2f + 4f + 2 – 3] is equivalent to [6f-1]

if the expression [6f-1] for f=3 is 17
then
the expression [2f + 4f + 2 – 3] for f=3 is also 17

<span>let's check it
</span>[2*3 + 4*3 + 2 – 3]--------> [6+12+2-3]=[20-3]=17------> is ok

What is the value of x in the diagram?
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

here 50 is hypotenuse as it is opposite of 90 degree.

x and x + 10 are the two other smaller sides of a right angled triangle respectively.

using pythagoras theorem,

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2 + (x + 10)^2 = 50^2

x^2 + x^2 + 20x + 100 = 2500

2x^2 + 20x + 100 = 2500

2x^2 + 20x + 100 - 2500 = 0

2x^2 + 20x - 2400 = 0

2(x^2 + 10x - 1200) = 0

x^2 + 10x - 1200 = 0

x^2 + (40 - 30) - 1200 = 0

x^2 + 40x - 30x - 1200 = 0

x(x + 40) - 30(x + 40x) = 0

(x + 40)(x - 30) = 0

either x + 40 = 0          OR x - 30 = 0

x = 0 - 40

x = -40

x - 30 = 0

x = 30

x = -40,30

since the length and distance is not measured in negative ur answer will be 30
