Step-by-step explanation:
Given: when Zane was 20 meters below the edge of a volcano. He heard some rumbling, so he decided to climb up out of there as quickly as he could. He managed to climb up 4 meters each second and get out of the volcano safely.
We have to graph Zane's elevation relative to the edge of the volcano (in meters) as a function of time (in seconds).
Let he takes x seconds to get out of the volcano.
and y be the distance covered by the volcano to reach Zane.
Then, to reach the edge of volcano,
Thus, The equation that represent Zane's elevation relative to the edge of the volcano (in meters) as a function of time (in seconds). is given by
f(x) = -4x + 20
At x = 0 the Zane will be at f(0) = 20 that is 20 meter below the volcano.
Thus points are (0,20)
and when x = 5 Zane will be escaped from volcano.
Thus points are (5,0)
Plot this and obtained the graph for the given equation as attached below.
Its A. B. and C.............
Your distance from Seattle after two hours of driving at 62 mph, from a starting point 38 miles east of Seattle, will be (38 + [62 mph][2 hr] ) miles, or 162 miles (east).
Your friend will be (20 + [65 mph][2 hrs] ) miles, or 150 miles south of Seattle.
Comparing 162 miles and 150 miles, we see that you will be further from Seattle than your friend after 2 hours.
After how many hours will you and your friend be the same distance from Seattle? Equate 20 + [65 mph]t to 38 + [62 mph]t and solve the resulting equation for time, t:
20 + [65 mph]t = 38 + [62 mph]t
Subtract [62 mph]t from both sides of this equation, obtaining:
20 + [3 mph]t = 38. Then [3 mph]t = 18, and t = 6 hours.
You and your friend will be the same distance from Seattle (but in different directions) after 6 hours.
