I was on the right track, lol. 280.5 miles.
12 total letters...5 vowels and 7 consonants.
probability of 1st letter being a vowel is 5/12
after replacing ...
probability of 2nd letter being a vowel is 5/12
probability of both occurring is (5/12 * 5/12) = 25/144 <===
The inverse of the equation is the square root of x-16. In order to find inverse switch the y and x values and try to isolate y
One root belonged to an old tree next to the road, and the other is part of a small tree.
F(-5)= 3-2(-5)
= 3+10
= 13
Hope it helps :))
