Question:

You are in a bike race. When you get to the first checkpoint, you are 2/5 of the distance to the second checkpoint. When you get to the second check point, you are 1/4 of the distance to the finish. If the entire race is 40 miles, what is the distance between the start and the first check point?

Answer: 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let distance between start to first checkpoint = x

First checkpoint to second checkpoint = 2/5 of x

Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 of start to checkpoint 2)

Distance of start to checkpoint 2 = (1/4 of start to finish)

If start to checkpoint 2 = 1/4 of start to finish

Then,

Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 * 1/4 of start to finish)

Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = 2/20 of start to finish = 1/10 of start to finish

Entire race = 40 miles = distance from start to finish

1/ 10 of 40

= ( 1/10) × 40

= 4 miles

If you know the length of sides b and c of a right triangle, which equation represents the length of side a, according to the Py
Reptile [31]

Answer:

A=SqRt(c^2-b^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

rearrange to solve for a^2

a^2= c^2-b^2

take the square root of each side

a= square root (c^2-b^2)

Write an equation in point-slope form of a line that goes through the points (1,4) and (3,-10). Do not use any spaces in your an
olasank [31]

Answer:

y-4=-7(x-1) OR y-(-10)=-7(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation: The point-slope form is y_-y_{1}=m_(x_-x_{1})

In slope-intercept form, the equation would be y = -7x + 11

You could find the slope by using the slope equation, \frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }.

Using that, you would get -7. Thus by inserting one of the points and the slope in the point-slope equation, you will get your answer.

What is the vertex of the quadratic function f(x)=(x-8)(x-2)?
7nadin3 [17]
Change the function into vertex form:
f(x)=x²-10x+16
make a square by (adding half of -10)², which is 25, then subtract it:
f(x)=x²-10x+25-25+16
f(x)=(x-5)²-9
so the vertex is at (5,-9)

another way to do it: 
f(x)=x²-10x+16
the vertex is when x=-\frac{b}{2a}, b=-10, a=1 in this case.
x=-(-10/2*1)=5
plug x=5 into the quadratic function, you get f(x)=-9
