The minimum distance will be along a perpendicular line to the river that passes through the point (7,5)

4x+3y=12

3y=-4x+12

y=-4x/3+12/3

So a line perpendicular to the bank will be:

y=3x/4+b, and we need it to pass through (7,5) so

5=3(7)/4+b

5=21/4+b

20/4-21/4=b

-1/4=b so the perpendicular line is:

y=3x/4-1/4

So now we want to know the point where this perpendicular line meets with the river bank.  When it does y=y so we can say:

(3x-1)/4=(-4x+12)/3  cross multiply

3(3x-1)=4(-4x+12)

9x-3=-16x+48

25x=51

x=51/25

x=2.04

y=(3x-1)/4

y=(3*2.04-1)/4

y=1.28

So now that we know the point on the river that is closest to Avery we can calculate his distance from that point...

d^2=(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2

d^2=(7-2.04)^2+(5-1.28)^2

d^2=38.44

d=√38.44

d=6.2 units

Since he can run at 10 uph...

t=d/v

t=6.2/10

t=0.62 hours  (37 min 12 sec)

So it will take him 0.62 hours or 37 minutes and 12 seconds for him to reach the river.

Help please! I know I'm supposed to calculate how many hours she worked then multiply it by 6.75$ but I cannot get any answers t
MrMuchimi

Marcia started work at 7.32 and finished work at 3.43. In total she worked 8 hours and 11 minutes.


Convert the 11 minutes into decimal form: 

11 minutes / 60 minutes in an hour = 0.18 (rounded)


Multiply her hourly rate by her hours worked:

8.18*6.75 = $55.125 (you can round this up or down).

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

16 responses

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A geometric sequence, is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio.

a_n=r^{n-1}

where

a_n----> n^{th} term of the sequence

r ---> is the common ratio

a ---> the first term of the sequence

a=50\\r=100\%-10\%=90\%=90/100=0.90

substitute

a_n=50(0.90)^{n-1}

For n=12

substitute

a_n=50(0.90)^{12-1}=16

(40 pts)can you factor the difference of square?perfect square trinomials?
stira [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of two squares may be represented by the formula:  a^2-b^2,

which can be factored as (a+b)(a-b)

A perfect square trinomial may be represented by the formula: a^(2)-2ab+b^2 or  a^(2)+2ab+b^2, depending on the sign of b

if b is negative: use the formula a^(2)-2ab+b^2, which can be factored as (a-b)*(a-b) or (a-b)^(2)

if b is positive: use the formula a^(2)+2ab+b^2, which can be factored as (a+b)*(a+b) or (a+b)^(2)
