Answer:

Something close to (1.8,2.6)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=2x-1

y=-1/4 x+3

Since y=2x-1 and y=-1/4 x +3 then 2x-1=-1/4 x +3.

I'm going to multiply both sides by 4 to get rid of the fraction:

8x-4=-x+12

Add x on both sides:

9x-4=12

Add 4 on both sides:

9x=16

Divide both sides by 9:

x=16/9 is approximately 1.8 when put into calculator.

Now if x=16/9 and y=2x-1, then y=2(16/9)-1=32/9-1=32/9-9/9=(32-9)/9=23/9.

y=23/9 is approximately 2.6 when put into calculator.

So we are looking for an ordered pair pretty close to (1.8,2.6).

The graph is shown to you so I will put one here as well:

Addition and Subtraction in Scientific Notation. A number written in scientific notation is written as the product of a number between 1 and 10 and a number that is a power of 10. That is, it is written as a quantity whose coefficient is between 1 and 10 and whose base is 10.

Answer:

The radius of the earth is something like 4000 miles= about 20,000,000 feet. (Look up the exact radius of the earth to calculate the correct number yourself, I'm too lazy!)

The horizon is where you're looking at a tangent to the earth's surface. Since the tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius (if we assume the earth is a perfect sphere), we can set up a right angled triangle:

H...P

Where C is the centre of the earth, H is the horizon, and P is the person. CH = 20,000,000 feet. CP = 20,000,005 feet (in the case of the 5' person, that'd be me :) And there is a right angle at H.

So using Pythagoras' theorem, if d = PH, then:

d^2 = 20,000,005^2 - 20,000,000^2

=> d^2 = 200,000,025

=> d = 14142 feet (just under 3 miles)

For a 6' person:

d^2 = 20,000,006^2 - 20,000,000^2

=> d^2 = 240,000,036

=> d = 15491 feet

So the difference is 1349 feet or 0.256 miles

Repeat this exercise with the real radius of the earth (in feet) to get the correct answer, but it'll be pretty close to what I've given here
