A tortoise and a hare are competing in a 2000-meter race. The arrogant hare decides to let the tortoise have a 510-meter head st

art. When the start gun is fired the hare begins running at a constant speed of 8 meters per second and the tortoise begins crawling at a constant speed of 5 meters per second. Define a function f to represent the tortoise's distance from the finish line (in meters) in terms of the number of seconds t since the start of the race.

The distance covered by the hare and the tortoise in t seconds are 8t and 5t respectively. (Simple Speed-Distance-Time relation)

The tortoise gets a 510m headstart so at t=0 is 1490m.

The functions representing the distance of both of them from the finish line is,

F(x)=2000-8t,. for hare

G(x)=1490-5t,. for tortoise

Which expression can be used to fine the slope of a line containing the points (-3,2) and (7,-1)
Charra [1.4K]

Hello there! you can use the expression \frac{ y_{1}-y_{2}}{x_{1}-x_{2} }!

To find slope, subtract the y values over the x values.

In this case:

2 - - 1 / - 3 - 7

3 / -10

So, -3/10 would be the slope of these points.

Hope this helps, have a great day!

The square root of 5 is between which two integers? Explain your reasoning.
vitfil [10]

Without using a calculator, you can reason that since 2²=4 and 3²=9, since 5 is between 4 and 9, its square root must be between 2 and 3.
