You and your friend leave your houses at the same time to meet at a restaurant. The distance (in miles) your friend is from the

restaurant is given by y=−40x+100, where x is the number of hours since your friend left home. You live 150 miles from the restaurant and arrive at the same time as your friend. Write a linear equation that represents your distance from the restaurant.

Answer:   y = - 60 x +150

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the function which represents the distance between my friend and restaurant,

y = - 40x +100

Where,  x is the number of hours since my friend left home.

Since, when he covered the whole distance y = 0

Then -40x +100 = 0

⇒ -40x  = -100

⇒ x = 2.5

Thus, he is taking 2.5 hours to covered the whole distance.

And, According to question, me and my friend take the same time to covered the distance.

Thus, the time taken by me to covered 150 miles distance = 2.5 hours.

Therefore, my speed = 150/2.5 = 60 miles per hour.

Thus, in x hour the distance between me and restaurant,

y = 150 - 60x

Which is the required equation.

Which table represents a direct variation function? A table with 6 columns and 2 rows. The first row, x, has the entries, negati
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A table with 6 columns and 2 rows. The first row, x, has entries, negative 3, negative 1, 2, 5, 10. The second row, y, has entries, negative 7.5, negative 2.5, 5.0, 12.5, 25

Please find attached the graphs of the table data

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of the given table data of in the tables are analysed to find direct variation;

Table 1

x,               -3,                 -1,                 2,                5,                10

y,              -4.5,              -3.0,             -1.5,             0.0,              1.5              

-4.5/-3  = 1.5 ≠ -3.0/-1 = 3

No direct variation

Table 2      

x,             -5.5,               -4.5,            -3.5,            -2.5,             -1.5

y,              10,                   8,                 6,              4,                  2

10/(-5.5) = -20/11  ≠ 8/(-4.5) = -16/9

However, 10/(-5.5 + 0.5) = -2 = 8/(-4.5 + 0.5) = -2

Adjusted direct variation

Table 3              

x,              -5.5,               -5.5,             -5.5,           -5.5,            -5.5

y,              -3,                    -1,                 2,                5 ,              10                  

-3/(-5.5) ≠ -1/-5.5

No direct variation

Table 4

x,              -3,                    -1,                2,                  5,             10

y,              -7.5,                 -2.5,            5.0 ,              12.5,         25  

 -7.5/-3 = 2.5 = -2.5/(-1) = 5.0/2 = 12.5/5 =25/10

Direct variation exists

Please help don't guess
12345 [234]

So, just divide:

52.50 / 6 = 8.75

This means that she earns $8.75 an hour.

If this is her hourly salary, then multiply 8.75 x 11

8.75 x 11 = 96.25

So, if Paula works for 11 hours,  she will earn $96.25!

The decreasing​ population, p, of owls in a national park is being monitored by ecologists and is modeled by the equation p=−0.
n200080 [17]

By solving a quadratic equation, it can be verified that

The owl population will disappear after 329.12 years

What is a quadratic equation?

At first it is important to know about equation

Equation shows the equality between two algebraic expressions by connecting the two algebraic expressions by an equal to sign.

A two degree equation is known as quadratic equation.

Here, a quadratic equation needs to be solved

The decreasing​ population, p, of owls in a national park is being monitored by ecologists and is modeled by the equation p=-0. 4t^2+128t+1,200

For population to disappear, p =0

-0. 4t^2+128t+1,200 = 0\\0.4t^2 -128t - 1200 = 0\\4t^2 - 1280t - 12000 = 0\\4(t^2 - 320 t - 3000) = 0\\t^2 - 320t -3000 = 0\\t = \frac{-(-320)\pm \sqrt{(-320)^2 - 4 \times 1 \times (-3000)}}{2 \times 1}\\t = \frac{320 \pm 338.23}{2}\\t = \frac{320 + 338.23}{2} \ or \ t = \frac{320 - 338.23}{2}\\t = 329.115 \ or \ t = -9.115

But t = -9.115 is not possible as time cannot be negative

So, the owl population will disappear after 329.12 years

John bought a bag of lawn fertilizer that will cover 289 square feet. What
erik [133]

Answer:

17 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A bag of lawn fertilizer covers 289 square feet

Dimensions of the largest square plot of lawn that the bag of fertilizer will cover.

Area of a square lawn = length^2

Area of the square lawn = 289 square feet

Area of a square lawn = length^2

289 = length^2

Find the square root of both sides

√289 = √length^2

17 = length

Length = 17 feet

Dimensions of the largest square plot of lawn that the bag of fertilizer will cover = 17 feet by 17 feet
