Answer:

The depth of snow at 9:00 am was 19 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let x represents the number of hours and S(x) represents the depth of snow.

There was no snow on the ground when it started falling at midnight at a constant rate of 1.5 inches per.

That means the depth of snow will be:

S(x)=1.5x\ \ \ 0\leq x< 4

At  4:00 a.m., it starting falling at a constant rate of 3 inches per hour,

S(x)=3(x-4)+6\ \ \ 4\leq x

7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., snow was  falling at a constant rate of 2 inches per hour.

S(x)=2(x-7)+15\ \ \ 7\leq x\leq 9

The required piece-wise linear function is

\left\{\begin{matrix}1.5x & 0\leq x

We need to find the how deep was the snow at 9:00 am

For 9:00 am we will choose the function which can take the value of x=9

Substitute the value of x=9 in S(x)=2(x-7)+15

S(x)=2(9-7)+15

S(x)=2(2)+15

S(x)=19

Hence, the depth of snow at 9:00 am was 19 inches.

M(4,2) is the midpoint of RS. The coordinates of S are (6, 1). what are the coordinates of R?
nirvana33 [79]
Remark
You are using the midpoint formula. Instead of finding the midpoint, you are looking for one of the points, so you have to rearrange the formula a little bit.

Givens
Midpoint (4,2)
One endpoint (6,1)

Object
Find the other endpoint.

Formula
m(x,y) = (x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2)

Solution
Find the x value
4 = (6 + x2)/2    Multiply both sides by 2
4*2 = 6 + x2      Subtract 6 from both sides.
8 - 6 = x2
x2 = 2

Find the y value
2 = (1 + y2)/2    Multiply by 2
4 = 1 + y2          Subtract 1 from both sides.
4 - 1 = y2  
y2 = 3

Conclusion
R(x,y) = (2,3)
