Answer:

<em>c) Going half the distance, going in the opposite direction, starting 10 minutes later and starting 6 miles further.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Function Modeling</u>

Let's take a look at both functions provided by the problem:

f(x)=(x+1)(x-2)(x-3)

g(x)=-0.5(x-9)(x-12)(x-13)+6

We are told that f(x) represents a student's displacement from school. We notice the following changes in g(x) with respect to f(x)

  • All the expressions in parentheses represent a displacement of -10 units in x. If x is time, then in g(x), the time is 10 minutes later than in f(x)
  • The factor that multiplies the three parentheses is 1 in f(x) and -0.5 in g(x). If that factor is the speed, then in g(x) the speed is half the speed in f(x) and in the opposite direction. The distance will be half of the distance of f because the student moves slower.
  • g(x) has an offset of +6, meaning the object is initially 6 miles further.

The option that collects all the conditions observed in both functions is:

c) Going half the distance, going in the opposite direction, starting 10 minutes later and starting 6 miles further

What are the next three numbers in this pattern? 11, 22, 12, 23, . . .
liq [111]

Answer:

13 , 24 , 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that technically there are two patterns. Each one adds 1.

The first pattern starts with 11. The third number is 12, which means that the fifth number will be 13, and the 7th number will be 14.

The second pattern starts with 22. The 4th number is 23, which means the sixth number will be 24.

REY [17]

Answer:

In order to tell if these are congruent triangles we would need to know if angles Y and V were congruent, angles X and W are congruent or if segments XU and WU were congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Any of these would work because you can use two different methods to telling that these are congruent triangles.

The first method is called side-angle-side. In it you need two side lengths that are congruent with a congruent angle in the middle. Since we already know that the right angle in the middle is congruent, and we know YU and VU are congruent, we would just need to know the additional side to prove congruence.

The second method is called angle, angle side. In this we need to know that two angles in a row are congruent followed by a side. Since we know the middle angle is the same, knowing either other angles would give us this method as well.
