Answer:

136 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

2 miles ----> takes 17 min

1 mile -----> takes 17/2 min

hence the unit rate is (17/2) min per mile

Thus, 16 miles will take

= (17/2) miles per min x 16 miles

= (17/2) x 16

= 136 minutes

Answer:

136 min

Step-by-step explanation:

lets make it simple.

2 miles / 17 min = 16 miles / x

just cross multiply

2 x = 17 (16)

2 x = 272

x = 272 / 2

x = 136 min

For each function, do the following: a) state the name of the function, b) identify the independent and dependent variable, c) i
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Given the function in the question

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

a) state the name of the function

  Absolute value function

  since it is similar to f(x) = |x|

b) identify the independent and dependent variable  

x = independent variable (input variable)

f(x) or y = dependent variable  (output variable)

The variable which we assign the value we call the independent variable,    and the other variable is the dependent variable, since it value depends on  the independent variable.

c) identify the rule

A function is an equation that has only one answer for y for every x.

d) evaluate the function

given x = -5

 f(-5) = |-5 - 3| + 2

        = |-8| + 2

        = 8 +2

        = 10

Help me quickkkk!!<br> A = 1/2(a+b)h solve for b
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

2A/h - a = b

Step-by-step explanation:

Using A= 1/2(a+b)h

Divide both side by h

⇒A/h = 1/2(a + b)

Mutiply both sides by 2

⇒2A/h = a + b

Take the 2 over to the other side

2A/h - a = b

Keep in mind, that the (a) is not on the bottom, rather on its own

What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (-1 , 3/2) and (1/2 , 1/2 )
Simora [160]

Answer:

<u>y = -2/3x + 5/6</u> (slope intercept) (y = ax + b)

4x + 6y = 5 (standard form) (Ax + By = C)

y - 3/2 = -2/3(x + 1) (point slope) (y-y1 = m(x-x1)) (m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1)
