Ratio of rise can also mean the slope so let's find the slope given the two points.
slope formula;
m = y2 - y1/ x2 - x1 (3, 4), (-2, 0) (x1, y1), (x2, y2)
m = 0 - 4/ -2 - 3
m = -4/-5
m = 4/5
so your answer is B.
hope this helps, God bless!
I think 42 but Im not sure just thought it out.
This is a geometric sequence since there is a common ratio between each term. In this case, multiplying the previous term in the sequence by 4 gives the next term. In other words:
an = a1 * r ^ (n-1)
Now, knowing that a1 = 2, and r = 4
We check
a2 = 2 * 4 ^ (2-1) = 2 * (4 ^ 1) = 8
a3 = 2 * 4 ^ (3-1) = 2 * (4 ^ 2) = 32
a4 = 2 * 4 ^ (4-1) = 2 * (4 ^ 3) = 128
Therefore, this is the geometric function that this sequence fulfills.
Let 'x' be the distance from THE far bank where 700 is the distance to the NEAR bank
boat one has travelled 700 (rate = 700/unit time) boat two has travelled x rate = x / unit time
boat one then travels x + 400 more and boat two travels 700 + (700+x -400) more when they meet
The time is the same rate x time = distance distance/rate = time equate the distances divided by the respective rates
(700 + x + 400)/700 = ( x + 700 + (700+x-400) )/x
1100x + x^2 = 1400x + 700000
x^2-300x -700000 = 0 quadratic formula yields x = 1000
One boat travels 700 the other 1000 whe they first meet.....width of river = 700+ 1000 = 1700 m
