<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>

Is there a relationship between the area and the perimeter of a rectangle
maksim [4K]
Well, an area and perimeter have formula's. The formula of area is length times width. The formula of perimeter is to basically length plus length plus width plus width. For instance, let's say the rectangles width is 5 and length is 6. So you do 5 plus 5 which is 10 and then 6 plus 6 which is 12. And then, 12 plus 10 equals 22. So the perimeter would be 22. If you were to find the area, you would do 6 times 5 and the area would be 30.
I hope this helps :)

Two sides of a right triangle measure 6 cm and 8 cm what is the length of the hypotenuse
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 =c^2

6^2 + 8^2 = c^2

36 + 64 = 100

then find the square root of 100 which equals 10
