John is driving around town. When he reaches the gas station, he notes that he has traveled 20 miles. He reaches home 2 hours la

ter and notes that he has traveled 30 miles.

Answer:

d=5t+20

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that will model this situation will be of the form

d=mt+b

where t is the time in hours john has traveled since the gas station, and  d is the distance.

Now we know that John has already traveled 20 miles when he is at the gas station, this means at t=0, d=20; or

20=m(0)+b

\boxed{b=20}

Thus we have

d=mt+20.

Now we need to figure out m.

When John reaches home 2 hours later he notes that he has traveled 30 miles, which means he has traveled 30 - 20 = 10 miles; thus we have

m= \frac{\Delta d}{\Delta t} =\frac{10 miles}{2hours} =5

\boxed{m=5}

Now we have the full equation:

\boxed{d=5t+20}

Find the exact value of the indicated trigonometric function of θ.
Mariana [72]

Answer:

cosθ = -√(35/36)

tanθ = -1/√35

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

sin²θ + cos²θ = 1

(1/6)² + cos²θ = 1

1 - (1/6)² = cos²θ

35/36 = cos²θ

sec θ = 1/ cosθ

1/ secθ = cos θ

Because secθ < 0, 1/ secθ would also be < 0, so cos θ < 0

cosθ = -√(35/36)

tanθ = sinθ/cosθ = (1/6)/-√(35/36)

= (1/6) / -(√35/6)

= -1/√35

Expand<br> c(3c - 3)<br> I need help on this
Rudik [331]

\\ \sf\longmapsto c(3c-3)

Apply distributive law

  • a(b-d)=ab-ad

\\ \sf\longmapsto 3c(c)-3(c)

\\ \sf\longmapsto 3c^2-3c

We can still take common

\\ \sf\longmapsto 3c(c-1)
