Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

A bee flies at 12 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive. The bee stays at the flowerbed for 14 ​minutes, and then flies directly back to the hive at 8 feet per second. It is away from the hive for a total of 18 minutes. A. Write the equation. Let d be the distance of the flowerbed from the hive. B. how far away is the hive from the flower bed.

First we need to calculate the time taken by the bee to fly to a flowerbird to its hive using the formula;

Speed = Distance/Time

Time = Distance/Speed

If a bee flies at 12 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive, then the time taken by the bee is expressed as;

t1 = d/12 ....... 1

If the bee then flies directly back to the hive at 8 feet per second, the time taken by the bird will be:

t2 = d/8 ....... 2

Total time taken by the bee to and fro will be the sum total of both times;

t1+t2 = d/12+d/8

t11+t2 = 2d+3d/24

t1+t2 = 5d/24 ........ 3

If the bee stays at the bee stays at the flowerbed for 14 ​minute and away from the hive for 18minutes, the total time used by the bird during the journey will be 18-14 = 4 minutes

converting 4 minutes to seconds

4 minutes = 4*60 = 240seconds

The equation that can be used to find the distance of the flowerbed from the​ hive is gotten by equating equation 3 to  the total time used by the bird during the journey i.e;

5d/24 = 240

5d = 24*240

5d = 5760

b) To know how far is the flowerbed from the​ hive, we will solve the resulting equation in a for the value of d as shown

Given 5d = 5760

Divide both sides by 5

5d/5 = 5760/5

d = 1152ft

Hence the distance of the flowerbed from the​ hive is 1152ft

What is the equation of y = x^3 with the given transformations? Vertical stretch by a factor of 3, horizontal shift 4 units to t
givi [52]

Answer:

y = 3(x - 4)^3 - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A vertical stretch factor 3 is given by 3x^3.  Horizontal shift 4 to the right is given by 3(x - 4)^3. Finally we  add -3 to this function to move it 3 units down.

Answer is y = 3(x- 4)^3 - 3
