Ms. Lady works-out with Ms. Beetle; her average crawling time has increased to 4 feet per minute, while Ms. Beetle, who is used

to eating Hot Cheetos and watching TV, averages 2.5 feet per minute. While at Senn's Elm Tree-house, the three decide to experiment with linear equations. The objective is to end up at the Rose Bush at the same time. Senn still averages 5 feet per minute. How much of a head start does he need to give each of his friends in order for their function rules to intersect at 92 feet (the rose bush). What is the equation for each bug which makes their experiment successful? Create a table and graph representing the situation.

Answer:

Senn needs to give Ms. Lady 4.6 minutes  head start

Senn needs to give Ms. Beetle 18.4 minutes  head start

The equation for each bug are;

For Senn, the equation for the experiment is 5 × t₁ = 92 feet

For Ms. Lady, the equation for the experiment is 4 × (t₁ + 4.6) = 92 feet

For Ms. Beetle , the equation for the experiment is 4 × (t₁ + 18.4) = 92 feet

Please find attached the required graph and table of values

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The average crawling time of Ms. Lady = 4 feet per minute

The average crawling time of Ms. Beetle = 2.5 feet per minute

The average crawling time of Senn = 5 feet per minute

The distance to the rose bush = 92 feet

Therefore, we have;

The time, t, duration for Senn to arrive at the Rose bush is given by the following relation,

Time, t = Distance, d/(Speed, s)

Given that the speed of the bugs is equal to their average crawling time, we have

For Senn

Time, t = 92/(5 ft/Min) = 18.4 minutes

For, Ms. Lady

Time, t = 92/(4 ft/Min) = 23 minutes

For, Ms. Beetle

t = 92/(2.5 ft/Min) = 36.8 minutes

Therefore;

Senn needs to give Ms. Lady 23 - 18.4 = 4.6 minutes head start

Similarly, Senn needs to give Ms. Beetle 36.8 - 18.4 = 18.4 minutes  head start

The equation for each bug are therefore;

For Senn, the equation for the experiment is given as follows ;

5 × t₁ = 92 feet

For Ms. Lady, the equation for the experiment is given as follows;

4 × (t₁ + 4.6) = 92 feet

For Ms. Beetle , the equation for the experiment is given as follows;

4 × (t₁ + 18.4) = 92 feet.

17. x^2 + 2x + 1
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

E. This polynomial could be factored by using grouping or the perfect squares methods.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 2x + 1

There is no greatest common factor

This is a perfect square

a^2 + 2ab+ b^2 = ( x+1)^2

We can factor this  by grouping

x^2 + 2x + 1

(x^2 +x) + (x+1)

x( x+1)  + x+1

Factor out x+1

( x+1)  ( x+1)

This is not the difference of squares since there is no subtraction

PLEASE HELP<br> find the vertex of f(x)=x^2+2x+3 (make sure you show your work)
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

(- 1, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a quadratic in standard form y = ax² + bx + c : a ≠ 0

Then the x- coordinate of the vertex is

x_{vertex} = - \frac{b}{2a}

f(x) = x² + 2x + 3 ← is in standard form

with a = 1 and b = 2, hence

x_{vertex} = - \frac{2}{2} = - 1

Substitute x = - 1 into f(x) for corresponding value of y

f(- 1) = (- 1)² + 2(- 1) + 3 = 1 - 2 + 3 = 2

vertex = (- 1, 2 )
