Answer:

  • Alan: 200 m/min
  • Brian: 150 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number of laps that Alan completes in 9 minutes. Then n-1 is the number of laps Brian completes, and the difference in their lap times in minutes per lap is ...

  9/(n -1) - 9/n = 3/4 . . . . . minutes

Multiplying by (4/3)n(n -1), we get

  12n -12(n -1) = n(n -1)

  12 = n(n -1)

Solutions to this are n=4 and n=-3. We are only interested in the positive solution, n = 4. Then Alan's speed in m/min is ...

  (4·450 m)/(9 min) = 200 m/min

Brian completes 3 laps in that 9-minute time, so his rate is ...

  (3·450 m)/(9 min) = 150 m/min

Answer:

f(10)=sqrt(14)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(10) = sqrt(2x-6)

f(10)= sqrt(20-6)

f(10)=sqrt(14) - simplest form, no way to factor it.

If the base is square, and the perimeter is 14.5, that means that each side of the base is 14.5/4=3.625. Since we now know the length and the width, as well as the height which is 16.8, we plug into the formula \frac{lwh}{3}. So, plug in the details \frac{3.625*3.625*16.8}{3} Your answer will be 73.6 cm^3

If T(x, y) = (x + 5, y + 6) and Pris the image of P, what is the rule for the translation in which P is the image of P'? T(x, y)
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The translation is;

T(x,y)=(x-5,y-6)

Explanation:

Given the translation rule;

T(x,y)=(x+5,y+6)

when P' is the image of P.

For the inverse, when P is the image of P', the Translation rule would become;

\begin{gathered} x=x^{\prime}+5 \\ x^{\prime}=x-5 \\ y=y^{\prime}+6 \\ y^{\prime}=y-6 \\ So,\text{ the translation rule becomes;} \\ T(x,y)=(x-5,y-6) \end{gathered}

The translation is;

T(x,y)=(x-5,y-6)
