The minimum distance will be along a perpendicular line to the river that passes through the point (7,5)
4x+3y=12
3y=-4x+12
y=-4x/3+12/3
So a line perpendicular to the bank will be:
y=3x/4+b, and we need it to pass through (7,5) so
5=3(7)/4+b
5=21/4+b
20/4-21/4=b
-1/4=b so the perpendicular line is:
y=3x/4-1/4
So now we want to know the point where this perpendicular line meets with the river bank. When it does y=y so we can say:
(3x-1)/4=(-4x+12)/3 cross multiply
3(3x-1)=4(-4x+12)
9x-3=-16x+48
25x=51
x=51/25
x=2.04
y=(3x-1)/4
y=(3*2.04-1)/4
y=1.28
So now that we know the point on the river that is closest to Avery we can calculate his distance from that point...
d^2=(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2
d^2=(7-2.04)^2+(5-1.28)^2
d^2=38.44
d=√38.44
d=6.2 units
Since he can run at 10 uph...
t=d/v
t=6.2/10
t=0.62 hours (37 min 12 sec)
So it will take him 0.62 hours or 37 minutes and 12 seconds for him to reach the river.
Answer:
A= 3
Step-by-step explanation:
4a - 7 = 5
move the constant to the right
4a= 5+7
divide
4a=12
Awnser:
A= 3
The number of batches she can make is = 5 batches
<h3>Calculation of total number of batches</h3>
The amount of dough used to make each batch = 12oz
The total amount of dough she has= 60oz
Therefore, the number of batches she can make from the total dough available = b
Using the equation:
(dough for one batch) × (number of batches) = (total amount of dough)
which is = 12× b = 60
b= 60/12
b= 5 batches

Answer:
2 %
Step-by-step explanation:
Money borrowed, Principal, P = $ 700
time of investment, T = 3 years
Total interest paid, Simple interest, S.I = $ 42
Let the rate of interest is R.
Use the formula for simple interest.
By substituting the values
4200 = 2100 R
R = 2 %
Thus, the rate of interest is 2%.
