Errol's bike ride from home to school can be modeled by the equation d(t) = - 1/4 * t + 2 where d(t) is his distance from school

in miles, at t minutes. Errol's friend Daniel lives 4 miles away from school. It takes Daniel twice as long to get to school if he bike rides at the same pace as Errol. What can be said about the graph of the equation that models Daniel's bike rides?

Answer:

Daniel's equation will have a vertical translation by 2 units in the positive direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Errol's bike ride can be modeled by the equation,

$d(t)=-\frac{1}{4}t+2$

Slope of the equation = $-\frac{1}{4}$

Here slope defines the rate of change of distance from Errol's house.

Y-intercept = 2, which represents the distance of the school from his home.

Let the equation that represents the equation is,

d(t) = mt + b

Errol's friend Daniel lives 4 miles away from school that means y intercept of the equation (b) = 4

Since Daniel drives his bike at the same pace as Errol, slope will be same.

Equation that models the distance will be

$d(t)=-\frac{1}{4}t+4$

If we compare both the equations, slopes are same but y-intercepts have a difference of 2 units

Therefore, the graph from the Daniel's equation will have a vertical translation by 2 units in the positive direction.

A new shopping mall records 150 total shoppers on their first day of business. Each day after that, the number of shoppers is 15

Wewaii [24]

The number of shoppers is an illustration of an exponential function.

The expression for the number of shoppers is: $\mathbf{f(n) = 150(1.15)^n}$

The given parameters are:

<em /> $\mathbf{a = 150}$ <em> -- the number of shoppers on the first day of business</em>

<em /> $\mathbf{r = 15\%}$ <em> --- the rate</em>

<em />

Because, the number of shoppers <em>increases each day</em>, the number of shopper on a certain day is:

$\mathbf{f(n) = a \times (1 + r)^n}$

Substitute 15% for r

$\mathbf{f(n) = a \times (1 + 15\%)^n}$

Express percentage as decimal

$\mathbf{f(n) = a \times (1 + 0.15)^n}$

$\mathbf{f(n) = a \times (1.15)^n}$

Substitute 150 for a

$\mathbf{f(n) = 150 \times (1.15)^n}$

$\mathbf{f(n) = 150(1.15)^n}$

Hence, the expression for the number of shoppers is: $\mathbf{f(n) = 150(1.15)^n}$

Which statement describes the behavior of the function f (x) = StartFraction 3 x Over 4 minus x EndFraction?

katovenus [111]

$f(x)=\frac{3x}{4-x}$

First Method: Using Graph

Finding the limits as x approaches infinity and negative infinity is one way to solve this problem. As x reaches infinity, simply follow the graph line (colored purple) to the far right to find its limit. If we trace it, we can see that the Y value never exceeds -3 (orange), indicating that the limit is equal to -3 as x approaches infinity. You'd do the same with negative infinity, the limit is -3. We may now say the following:

$\lim_{x \to \infty} (\frac{3x}{4-x})=-3 \\ \lim_{x \to -\infty} (\frac{3x}{4-x})=-3$

And that's the answer to your question.

Second Method: Using Mathematics

I'm not sure if this solution is suitable for your stage, but you can solve this problem using L'Hopital's rule:

$\lim_{x \to \infty} (\frac{3x}{4-x}) =\frac{\infty}{-\infty}\\=^L \lim_{x \to \infty} (\frac{3}{-1}) = -3\\\\ \lim_{x \to- \infty} (\frac{3x}{4-x}) =\frac{-\infty}{\infty}\\=^L \lim_{x \to- \infty} (\frac{-3}{1}) = -3$

Which equation represents the rectangular form of r= 8?

docker41 [41]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

put both sides under square root.

x^2 + y^2 = 64

sqrt ( x^2 + y^2 ) = sqrt(64)

x + y = 8

r = 8.

What is: 7m+(-5)=180

Virty [35]

Answer:

m = 7 / 185 or 26.42857

Step-by-step explanation:

7m - 5 = 180 add 5

7m = 185 divide 7

m = 7 / 185 or 26.42857 (and so on; just estimate it)
