Answer:
Answer is D.
Step-by-step explanation:
do 4 times every value in the ( )
From the equation, it looks like we can set up a triangle like this. One side is x and the other is x + 20 because the northbound car traveled 20 miles farther. The hypotenuse is 100 because they were 100 miles apart.
Next, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for x:
a² + b² = c²
x² + (x + 20)² = 100²
This simplifies to:
x² + x² + 40x + 400 = 10000
2x² + 40x = 9600
2x² + 40x - 9600 = 0
After that, we can divided each side by 2:
x² + 20x - 4800 = 0
Next, we have to factor:
(x - 60)(x + 80) = 0
x = 60, -80
Since we know that distance can't be negative, 60 is the valid answer in this case.
x = 60
x + 20 = 80
Using this information, we know that the westbound car traveled 60 miles and the northbound car traveled 80 miles.
Answer:x=1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Two points co-ordinates are given
A=(5,-8)
B=(5,4)
let other point be C =(x,y)
Area of triangle is given by


A=20-5y+40-8x+5y-4x
A=60-8x
and A=48 square unit
48=60-8x
x=1.5
As area is independent of y therefore at x=1.5 any value of y will give area of 48 square unit
Parameters of functions are the independent variable(s). e.x. y = 2x /\ x is the independent <span> variable (the parameter).</span>
