Answer: The required sprinter's unit rate is 31 feet per second.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a sprinter can run 279 feet in 9 seconds.

We are to find the sprinter's unit rate of feet per second.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the given problem.

According to the given information, we have

In 9 second, distance run by the sprinter = 279 feet.

Therefore, in 1 second, the distance run by sprinter will be

$\dfrac{279}{9}=31~\textup{feet per second}.$

Thus, the required sprinter's unit rate is 31 feet per second.

279ft/9sec = xft/1sec
Cross multiply to get
9x = 279 divide by 9
x = 31
31 feet per second

Simplify the expression (3 - 4i)(1 + 5i) - (2 - i). Show your work please! I have the answer: 21 + `12i but I need to show my wo

masha68 [24]

Answer:

21+12i i hope this will help you

Step-by-step explanation:

(3-4i)(1+5i)-(2-i)

=[3(1+5i)-4i(1+5i)]-(2-i)

=[3+15i-4i-20i²]-(2-i)

=(3+11i-20i²)-(2-i)

opening brackeys

=3+11i-20i²-2+i

=3+11i+1i-20i²-2

as we know that i²=-1

=3-20(-1)-2+12i

=3+20-2+12i

=21+12i

The photo is kinda blurry but I need help fast

enyata [817]

To find the rate of change find the difference in the Y values for every X value.

From X 1 to X 3 the Y value changes by -10

-10 / 2 = -5.

The rate of change is -5.

The initial value is when X = 0

When X is 1, the Y value is 20, using the rate of change of -5, this means when X is 0, the Y value would be 25.

The answer would be, the initial value is 25, rate of change is -5
