<h3>1. How many inches per minute does London's elevation change between 4 minutes and 8 minutes. </h3>

The question actually asks for the slope of the line that stands for the points (4,3) \ and \ (8,6) why? because the questions tells us that London's elevation changes between 4 minutes and 8 minutes here. Hence, to find the slope of this line we have to use the following formula:

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\ \\ But: \\ \\ P(x_{1},y_{1})=P(4,3) \\ P(x_{2},y_{2})=P(8,6)

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\ \\ But: \\ \\ P(x_{1},y_{1})=P(4,3) \\ P(x_{2},y_{2})=P(8,6) \\ \\ So: \\ \\ m=\frac{6-3}{8-4}=0.75in/min

<em>So London's elevation changes 0.75 inches per minute</em>

<em></em>

<h3>2. During which time period does London's elevation change the fastest?</h3>

The greater the absolute value of the slope of the line the faster London's elevation changes. Since this is a Piecewise function, we must analyze each period.

  • FIRST:

→ Between 0 minutes and 4 minutes the function is constant, so there is no any change here.

→ Between 10 minutes and 14 minutes the function is constant, so there is no any change here.

→ Between 18 minutes and 22 minutes the function is constant, so there is no any change here.

So the solution is not in these parts of the function.

  • SECOND:

→ Between 4 minutes and 10 minutes the function has a positive slope, so there is change here.

In the previous item we calculated the slope between 4 and 8 minutes that is the same slope between 4 and 8 minutes and equals 0.75.

→ Between 14 minutes and 18 minutes the function has a positive slope, so there is change here.

Let's take two points here, say, (16,5) \ and \ (18,3)

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\ \\ But: \\ \\ P(x_{1},y_{1})=P(16,5) \\ P(x_{2},y_{2})=P(18,3) \\ \\ So: \\ \\ m=\frac{3-5}{18-16}=-1 in/min

As you can see, the absolute value here is 1 that is greater than 0.75.

<em>In conclusion, London's elevation changes the fastest between 14 and 18 minutes</em>

1. 3in =5ft, 6in=10ft, 9in=15ft, 12in=20ft, 18in=30ft, 21in=35ft (multiples of 3 for the top row, the bottom row is multiples of 5. when the second column appears 3x2 is 6 and 5x2 is 10, and keep going. whatever number you multiply 3 by is the same number you multiply 5 by.)

a) 30ft
b) Actual is 2.5ft and would be the bottom row. You would divide 5 by 2. Do the same for 3 and it is 1.5in.

2. Scale 2in = 4ft.
The scale dimensions of a room is 14x7
2×x=14 x=7 7×2in=14in. The actual wall would be 7×4=28ft

The scale drawing is 7in. 3.5×2=7in Then 3.5×4=14ft

Final dimensions, 28ft x 14 ft.

3. 2cm = 5m Scale
10cm = 25m. 10cm=2×5. 5m×5=25m
6cm = 15m, 6cm=2×3. 5m×3=15m
