Answer:

a) distance covered by hare d1 = 8t

b) distance covered by tortoise d2 = 5t + 550

c) ∆d = 550 - 3t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Speed of hare u = 8m/s

Speed of tortoise v = 5 m/s

Initial distance of tortoise d0 = 550 m

a) using the equation of motion;

distance covered = speed × time + initial distance

d = vt + d0

For hare;

d0 = 0

Substituting the values;

d1 = 8t + 0

d1 = 8t

b)using the equation of motion;

distance covered = speed × time + initial distance

d2 = vt + d0

For tortoise;

d0 = 550m

Substituting the values;

d2 = 5t + 550

d2 = 5t + 550 m

c) the number of meters the tortoise is ahead of the hare.

∆d = distance covered by tortoise - distance covered by hare

∆d = d2 - d1

Substituting the values;

∆d = (5t + 550) - 8t

∆d = 550 - 3t

The cost of using 19 HCF of water is $32.49

Given in the question:

The monthly cost (in dollars) of the water use (in dollars) is a linear function of the amount of water used (in hundreds of cubic feet, HCF)

The cost for using 17 HCF of water is using $32.13

and, the cost of using 35 HCF is $61.83.

To find the cost of using 19 HCF of water.

Now, According to the question:

The cost for using 17 HCF of water is  $32.13

and, the cost of using 35 HCF is $61.83.

To find the slope:

(17, 32.13) and (35, 61.83)

Slope = (61.83 - 32.13)/ (35 - 17) = 1.65

We know that:

Formula of slope :

y = mx + b

32.13 = 1.65 x 17 + b

b = 1.14

The equation will be :

C(x) = 1.65x + 1.14

Now, To find the cost of using 19 HCF of water.

C(19) = 1.65 × 19  + 1.14

C(19) = $32.49

Hence,  the cost of using 19 HCF of water is $32.49.
