Answer:
a) average rate = (total distance)/(total time)
b) Rave = 2·R1·R2/(R1 +R2)
c) cheetah's average rate ≈ 50.91 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Let AB represent the distance from A to B. Let t1 and t2 represent the travel times (in hours) on leg1 and leg2 of the trip, respectively. Then the distances traveled are...
First leg distance: AB = 70·t1 ⇒ t1 = AB/70
Second leg distance: AB = 40·t2 ⇒ t2 = AB/40
The average rate is the ratio of total distance to total time:
average rate = (AB +AB)/(t1 +t2)
average rate = 2AB/(AB/70 +AB/40) = 2/(1/70 +1/40) = 2(40)(70)/(70+40)
average rate = 560/11 = 50 10/11 . . . mph

No equations are given, so we cannot compare what we wrote with the given equations. In each step of the solution, we have used the rules of algebra and equality.
b) For two rates over the same distance (as above), the average is their harmonic mean:
average rate = 2r1·r2/(r1+r2)

c) The cheetah's average rate was 50 10/11 mph ≈ 50.91 mph.
$430 because you divide 15,480 divided by 36 and get your answer
Answer:
14,146 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The annual multiplier is (1 -0.0049%) = 0.999951. We want to find the number of times this needs to be multiplied to make the product 1/2.
0.5 = 0.999951^t
log(0.5) = t·log(0.999951)
log(0.5)/log(0.999951) = t ≈ 14,145.514
The half-life is about 14,146 years.
Answer:
y = 
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the point (3, 10).
The second point is 2 on the x-axis and -7 on the y-axis. So our second point is: (3 + 2, 10 - 7) which is (5, 3).
Our formula for slope is m = 
= 
So, our equation would be 
= 
Using the standard formula of a line, y = mx + b, we can substitute for the slope, m.
y = 
+ b
Now, we can substitute a point on the line to determine the y-intercept:
Using the point (3, 10),
10 = 
+ b
b = 10 + 
b = 
So our full equation is: y =
