Answer:

sqrt(13) =x

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 right triangles, one on the right and one on the left

The base is 1/2 of 4 or 2 and the height is 3

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

2^2 + 3^2 = x^2

4+9 = x^2

13 = x^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(13) =x

300=x+1.9x
I got this by dividing the problem into two parts x[the speed of the first half] plus 1.9x [the speed of the second half increased by 1.9] both of those together should give you 300.
I went further and solved this...If you placed 103.5 into this problem for x you should get 300.15!

The straight line 3y = 5x + h - 6 intersect the x-axis at 4k, where h and k are constants. explain h in terms of k

inn [45]

When a function intersects with the x-axis, it's y value must be 0. That means when the straight line intersects with the axis, it's at the point (4k,0), so plugging those numbers into our original equation yields:

$0=20k+h-6 \implies\\ 6=20k+h \implies \\ 6-20k=h$
