0 A two-inch-long grasshopper can jump a horizontal distance of 40 inches. An athlete, who is _ five feet nine, wants to cover a

distance of one mile by jumping. If this person could jump at the same ratio of body-length to jump-length as the grasshopper, determine, to the nearest jump, how many jumps it would take this athlete to jump one mile?

Answer:

a) nearest jump is JL = 1380 inches = 115ft

b) number of jumps in 1 mile N= 46 jumps

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the jump length is proportional to the body length.

If 2 inch grasshopper can jump 40 inches.

JL = k(BL)

k = JL/BL

where JL = jump length = 40 inches

BL = Body length = 2 inches.

k = 40/2 = 20

The constant of proportionality is 20.

For the athlete :

BL = 5ft 9 inches = 5(12)+9 = 69 inches.

The jump length of the athlete is:

JL = k(BL) = 20(69)

JL = 1380 inches. = 115ft

The number of jumps in 1 mile is

1 mile = 63360 inches

N = 63360/1380

N = 45.9 = 46

N= 46

Therefore, 46 jumps would be needed.

madreJ [45]

Answer:

length, width, and height are (b+2), (b-2), (b+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Doing what the problem statement tells you to do, you get ...

 (b^3 +3b^2) -(4b +12)

 = b^2(b +3) -4(b +3) . . . . . factor each pair of terms

 = (b^2 -4)(b +3) . . . . . . . . . write as a product

 = (b -2)(b +2)(b +3) . . . . . . use the factoring of the difference of squares

The three factors are (b-2), (b+2), and (b+3). We have no clue as to how to associate those with length, width, and height. We just know these are the dimensions of the box.

Answer:  f(x) = 2x - 3

===================================================

We're given f(-1) = -5 and f(5) = 7

This means we know the two points (-1,-5) and (5,7) are on the line.

Find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (7-(-5))/(5-(-1))

m = (7+5)/(5+1)

m = 12/6

m = 2

The slope is 2.

Use this along with (x1,y1) to find the equation. We'll use point slope form

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-5) = 2(x - (-1))

y + 5 = 2(x + 1)

y = 2x + 2 - 5

y = 2x - 3

f(x) = 2x - 3
