The graph below shows the distances, in miles, that a dragonfly can travel in a certain number of hour. Based on the graph, what

is the dependent variable, the equation relating the two variables, and how far will the dragonfly travel in 24 hours if it continues to fly at the same speed?

The graph provides distance as a linear function of time.
The y-intercept is zero.

The line passes through (0,0) and (6,120).
Calculate the slope.
m = (120 - 0)/(6 - 0) = 20

The equation of the line is
d = 20t
where
t = time, hours
d =  distance, miles

Therefore distance is the dependent variable.
When t = 24 hours, the distance is 20*24 = 480 miles.

Answers:
(a) Distance is the dependent variable
(b)The equation relating the two variables is
    d = 20t
    where
    t = time, hours
    d = distance, miles
(c) In 24 hours, the dragonfly will travel 480 miles.

Answer:

B, C, E

Step-by-step explanation:

the dependent variable <em>depends </em>on the independent variable

thus, p is dependent on t, p is the dependent variable, and t is the independent variable (B)

every month, Gloria paints 2 pieces

each month, t is increased by 1, and p is increased by 2 (C)

every month, Gloria paints 2 pieces

2 pieces every month = (2*t) pieces  = total pieces = p (E)

How do i complete the square for this equation ? x^2+ 8x+y^2-2y=64
liraira [26]
<span>Simplifying x2 + 8x + y2 + -2y = 64
 Reorder the terms: 8x + x2 + -2y + y2 = 64 Solving 8x + x2 + -2y + y2 = 64 Solving for variable 'x'.
 Reorder the terms: -64 + 8x + x2 + -2y + y2 = 64 + -64
  Combine like terms: 64 + -64 = 0 -64 + 8x + x2 + -2y + y2 = 0


 The solution to this equation could not be determined.</span>

<u>Part A</u>

<u />4x^2 -7x-15=0\\\\(4x+5)(x-3)=0\\\\x=-\frac{5}{4}, 3

So, the x-intercepts are \boxed{\left(-\frac{5}{4}, 0 \right), (3,0)}

<u>Part B</u>

The vertex will be a minimum because the coefficient of x^2 is positive.

The x-coordinate of the vertex is x=-\frac{-7}{2(4)}=\frac{7}{8}

Substituting this back into the function, we get f\left(\frac{7}{8} \right)=4\left(\frac{7}{8} \right)^2 -7\left(\frac{7}{8} \right)^2 -15=-\frac{289}{16}

So, the coordinates of the vertex are \boxed{\left(\frac{7}{8}, -\frac{289}{16} \right)}

<u>Part C</u>

Plot the vertex and the x-intercepts and draw a parabola that passes through these three points.

The graph is shown in the attached image.
