Considering there is a function (relationship) and that it is linear, the distance will change proportionally to time constantly. In other words, we are taking the speed to be constant throughout the journey.
If we let:
t = time (min's) driving
d = distance (miles) from destination
Then we can represent the above information as:
t = 40: d = 59
t = 52: d = 50
If we think of this as a graph, we can think of the x-axis representing time and the y-axis representing the distance to the destination. Being linear, the function will be a line, i.e. it will have a constant gradient. If you were plot the two points inferred from the information and connect the two dots, you will get a declining line (one with a negative gradient) representing the inversely proportional relationship or equally, the negative correlation between the time driving and the distance to the destination. The equation of this line will be the linear function that relates time and the distance to the destination. To find this linear function, we do as follows:
Find the gradient (m) of the line:
m = Δy/Δx
In this case, the x-values are t-values and our y-values are d-values, so:
Δy = Δd
= 50 - 59
= -9
Δx = Δt
= 52 - 40
= 12
m = -9/12 = -3/4
Note: m is equivalent to speed with units: d/t
Use formula to find function and rearrange to give it in the desired format:
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
d - 50 = -3/4(t - 52)
4d - 200 = -3t + 156
4d + 3t - 356 = 0
Let t = 70 to find d at the time:
4d + 3(70) - 356 = 0
4d + 210 - 356 = 0
4d - 146 = 0
4d = 146
d = 73/2 = 36.5 miles
So after 70 min's of driving, Dale will be 36.5 miles from his destination.
1 meter = 100 centimeters, so 120 centimeters equal to 1.2 meters.
The radius of the cylindrical vase is 8 centimeters, if the cylindrical vase holds 8,038.4 cubic centimeters of water and the height of the vase is 40 centimeters.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given is,
Volume of cylindrical vase = 8038.4 cubic centimeters
Height of the cylindrical vase = 40 centimeters
Step:1
Formula for volume of cylindrical vase,
......................(1)
Where, r - Radius of cylindrical vase
h - Height of cylindrical vase
From the given,
V = 8038.4 cubic centimeters
h = 40 centimeters
Equation (1) becomes,
8038.4 
(∵
= 3.14 )


r = 8 centimeters
Result:
The radius of the cylindrical vase is 8 centimeters, if the cylindrical vase holds 8,038.4 cubic centimeters of water and the height of the vase is 40 centimeters.
Average speed = 
Ishan's Speed uphill = 10mph
Time taken = 18 minutes = 18/60 = 3/10 hours
Now distance = rate × time
Distance traveled by Ishaan up hill = 10 × 3/10 = 3 miles
Now returning back home
Distance = 3 miles
Rate = 30 mph
So time taken = distance/ rate = 3/30= 1/10 hours = 1/10 ×60 = 6 minutes.
Now total distance traveled = 3 + 3 = 6 miles
Total time taken = 18 + 6 = 24 minutes = 24/60 = 2/5 hours
Average speed
= 
= 15 mph
Ishaan's average speed for the entire trip from home to the gift store and back is 15mph
Answer:
A) The height of the water increases 2 inches per minute.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is the rate of change of height
m = (16 - 12)/(4 - 2) = 4/2 = 2
2 inch per min
Positive slope implies increase
