A family travels, by plane, five hundred miles from their city to a beach town. Then they take a taxi from the airport to the ho

tel at the beach. When they ask the driver how far the airport is from the hotel, he tells them twenty kilometers. What is the approximate total distance, in miles, the family traveled? Recall that 1 kilometer is about 0.62 miles.

To work out how many miles the distance from the airport to the beach, we can use 1km ≈ 0.62 miles

To get from 20km from 1km, we multiply by 20

If we do the same to 0.62

0.62 x 20 = 12.4 miles

Next step is to add this on to the 500 miles they travelled by plane

500 + 12.4 = 512.4 miles

Find the distance between lines 8x−15y+5=0 and 16x−30y−12=0.

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The distance between the two parallel lines is 11/17 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

8x-15y+5=0 -----> equation A

16x-30y-12=0 ----> equation B

Divide by 2 both sides equation B

8x-15y-6=0 ----> equation C

Compare equation A and equation C

Line A and Line C are parallel lines with different y-intercept

step 1

Find the slope of the parallel lines (The slope of two parallel lines is the same)

8x-15y+5=0

15y=8x+5

$y=\frac{8}{15}x+\frac{1}{3}$

the slope is

$m=\frac{8}{15}$

step 2

Find the slope of a line perpendicular to the given lines

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is -1)

$m1*m2=-1$

we have

$m1=\frac{8}{15}$

therefore

$m2=-\frac{15}{8}$

step 3

Find the equation of the line perpendicular to the given lines

assume any point that lie on line A

$y=\frac{8}{15}x+\frac{1}{3}$

For $x=0$

$y=\frac{1}{3}$

To find the equation of the line we have

$point\ (0,1/3)$ ---> is the y-intercept

$m=-\frac{15}{8}$

The equation in slope intercept form is

$y=-\frac{15}{8}x+\frac{1}{3}$ -----> equation D

step 4

Find the intersection point of the perpendicular line with the Line C

we have the system of equations

$y=-\frac{15}{8}x+\frac{1}{3}$ ----> equation D

$8x-15y-6=0$ ----> $y=\frac{8}{15}x-\frac{2}{5}$ ----> equation E

equate equation D and equation E and solve for x

$\frac{8}{15}x-\frac{2}{5}=-\frac{15}{8}x+\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{8}{15}x+\frac{15}{8}x=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{2}{5}$

Multiply by 120 both sides to remove fractions

$64x+225x=40+48$

$289x=88$

$x=88/289$

Find the value of y

$y=-\frac{15}{8}(88/289)+\frac{1}{3}$

$y=-\frac{206}{867}$

the intersection point is $(\frac{88}{289},-\frac{206}{867})$

step 5

Find the distance between the points $(0,\frac{1}{3})$ and $(\frac{88}{289},-\frac{206}{867})$

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

substitute the values

$d=\sqrt{(-\frac{206}{867}-\frac{1}{3})^{2}+(\frac{88}{289}-0)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-\frac{495}{867})^{2}+(\frac{88}{289})^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(\frac{245,025}{751,689})+(\frac{7,744}{83,521})}$

$d=\sqrt{\frac{314,721}{751,689}}$

$d=\frac{561}{867}\ units$

Simplify

$d=\frac{11}{17}\ units$

therefore

The distance between the two parallel lines is 11/17 units

Which function is graphed on the right?

algol [13]

Answer:

y = 2^(x–2) + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation above is the one that is graphed. You can pick it from the offered choices by recognizing that the horizontal asymptote on the graph is y=3. That is 3 units above the horizontal asymptote of the parent exponential function. Hence, you must have ...

y = (some exponential) +3

_____

Please note that the exponent indicator (^) and the grouping parentheses on the exponent are essential. Without those, the equation is that of the line y=2x+1, which is not what is graphed.
