ing 3.4 miles per hour.
a. You are 8.5 miles from the finish line. How long will it take you to catch up to your friend?
b. You both maintain your paddling rates for the remainder of the race. How far ahead of your friend will you be when you cross the finish line?

Let the time that you caught up with your friend be t, then
8.5 - 3.4t = 8 - 3t
3.4t - 3t = 8.5 - 8
0.4t = 0.5
t = 0.5/0.4 = 1.25
therefore, you will catch up with your friend after 1.25 hours.

b.) time it will take you to cross the finnish line = 8.5/3.4 = 2.5 hours
After 2.5 hours, distance covered by your friend = 3 x 2.5 = 7.5 miles
Therefore, when you cross the finish line, you are 8 - 7.5 = 0.5 miles ahead of your friend.

A. in one hour, you will reduce the distance for 3.4 - 3 = 0.4 miles

which means you can catch up 0.1 miles for every 15 minutes

The amount of time before you catch up would be : 1 hour + 15 minutes



B. after catching up, there is only 8 miles distance remain

to achieve 8 miles, you need  8/ 3.4  = 2.35 hours

Distance created = 2.35 x 0.4
                            = +/- 0.94 miles

Function : y=4 sin(3x)-2
STatiana [176]
So the 4 represents the amplitude of the function. We can also see that because it is a positive number, the graph is even. ⁽⁽The number before the graph type (Sin or Cos) always represents the amplitude. The amplitude is how many units the graph travels up and down from the midline. 
The -2 is the midline. This means that the midline is at -2 on the Y-axis. To find the max and min, you then add the amplitude to find the maximum, and subtract to find the minimum. [-6. 2]
To find the period, you divide 2π by the term in front of x. In this case, it's 3, so we do 2π/3. This cannot be simplified further, but in degrees this equals 120°. This means that, with the question asking for 2 full cycles, that the graph will go through 2 full cycles in 240°

Hope this helps, sorry i couldn't sketch the graph for you

What is the simplest form of 4 square root 81x^8y^5?
olasank [31]
Firstly,
thanks for posting this.

81 = 9x9 or 9 squared so at this stage I'm guessing the last two. 
x^ 8 = (x^ 4) x (x^ 2) (its called the multiplication rule of indices). 
Okay I have approx 14 mins to answer.
No panic
√ 81.x^8 x <span>√ y^5
</span>√ (9x^2 x 9x^6) x <span>√ y^5
</span>= 9x x <span>√ 9x^6 x  </span><span>√ y^5
</span>did I just gain time?
√ 9x^6 = <span>√ </span>3x ^3 x <span>√ 3x ^ 3
</span>or 2 . √ 3x^3. <span>√ y^5
</span>more time
okay, so that wasnt successful. 
√ 9x^6 =<span>√ </span> (3x^2) x <span>√ </span>(3x^4)
