Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

At 1100 ft per second for 18 seconds, the sound travels 19,800 ft, or 3.75 miles farther to my friend's house. The set of points that lie 3.75 miles farther from my friend's house than from my house form a hyperbolic curve. This is illustrated by the blue line in the attached graph. (My house is the red dot on the left; my friend's house is the red dot on the right.)

The lightning occurred somewhere on the blue curve.

___

If the lightning occurred on the line between our houses, it was 1/8 mile from my house and 3 7/8 mile from my friend's house. (That's close!)

_____

The formula for the curve in the graph is the distance formula applied to the set of points (x, y). It equates the difference of distance from the two houses to 3.75 miles. If one were to write the equation of the hyperbola in standard form, the equation would look a little different and a restriction would need to be applied so the formula would describe only one branch of the hyperbola.

STALIN [3.7K]
<span>X - 2 > -3 x > -3 + 2 x > -1 A number line with an open circle -1, closed circle on 4 and shading in between.,when dividing/multiplying by a negative, the inequality sign changes. An open circle is used when there is no equal sign involved. A closed circle is used when there is an equal sign involved. If it is greater then, shading goes to the right. If it is less then, shading goes to the left</span>

There are two containers of milk. There is twice as much milk in the first container as in the second. After using 2 gal. of mil
lara [203]
Set equations for both containers:
Condition one: $y=2x$
Condition two: $(y-3)=4.5(x-2)$
plug in $y$ from condition one into the second equation:
$2x-3=4.5x-9$
simplify gives: $2.5x=6$
$\boxed{x=2.4}$
$\boxed{y=4.8}$
