D = distance from finish line

D= 5 - 1/3x 

Distance from the finish line is equal to the distance of the start line from the finish line, minus one third of a km times the number of minutes hes been running.

using given variables; D= 5 - 1/3*3
D=5-3/3
D=5-1
D=4

Answer: Hello there!

We know that the race is 5 kilometers long and that the runner runs 1 kilometer every 3 minutes.

Now we want to know the distance to the finish line after x minutes.

if we define the position zero as the starting point of the race; then the positon equation of the student as a function of x, where x is minutes, is:

p(x) = (1/3)km/min * x

where at x = 0, his position is 0 (so he is in the starting point of the race)

we know that the finish line is at a distance of 5 kilometers from the starting point, then the distance between the student and the finish line can be written as:

d(x) = 5 km - (1/3)km/min*x

now you can replace the number x whit the number of minutes that the student has been running, and you can find the distance left to finish the race.

Whit this equation you also can valuate d(x) in 0 ( this means that the distance to the finish line is 0 km)

And find the time needed in order to finish the race:

d(x) = 0 = 5km - (1/3)km/min*x

x = 5*3 min = 15 min

Two life insurance companies determine their premiums using different formulas:
Pie

Answer:

<em>The age at which both companies charge the same premium is 44 years</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Graph Solution to System of Equations</u>

One approach to solving systems of equations of two variables is the graph method.

Both equations are plotted in the same grid and we find the intersection point(s) of both graphs. Those are the feasible solutions.

The annual premium p as a function of the client's age a for two companies are given as:

Company A: p= 2a+24

Company B: p= 2.25a+13

The graphs of both functions are shown in the image below.

The red line indicates the formula for Company A and the blue line indicates the formula for Company B.

It can be seen that both lines intersect in the point with approximate coordinates of (44,112).

The age at which both companies charge the same premium is 44 years
