Answer:

Giovanni was 0.5 miles from the finish line

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem of movement with constant velocity.

For this kind of problems, generally it is enough to remember the definition of average velocity v:

v=\frac{x}{t}

Where x is the change in position that took place in an interval t.

First, find the time that Jean, who cycled at 24 miles per hour, spent on the race:

Isolating t from the last equation,

t=\frac{x}{v}, and replacing the data for Jean movement:

t=\frac{120}{24}=5h

Second, find what was the distance that Giovanni had cycled when Jean crossed the line:

x=v*t\\ x=23.9*5=119.5

When Jean crossed the line he had cycled 120 miles, and Giovanni 119.5; so Giovanni was 0.5 miles from the finish line.

Answer:

Center: (-2, 4)

Radius: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the centre and radius, we require to identify g , f and c

By comparing the coefficients of 'like terms' in the given equation with the general form.

2g = 4 → g = 2 , 2f = -8 → f = -4 and c = 4 → center=(−g,−f)=(−2,4)

radius = √22+(−4)2−4= √4+16−4=4

Center: (-2, 4)

Radius: 4

Hope This Helps! :)
