Mary's house is approximately 49.73 miles from her grandmother's house.
The distances the three drove were;
Mary drove for 49.73 miles, Theo drove 50 miles and Nancy drove 53.299 miles.
Explanation:
- The given triangle has a 13 mile long adjacent side, a 48 mile long opposite side and the distance of Mary's route is the hypotenuse. As we have two sides of the triangle, we can solve for the length of the other side by using Pythagoras' theorem.
- Assume the hypotenuse of the triangle measures x miles. According to Pythagoras theorem, x = √(13² + 48²) , x = √169 + 2,304 x = √2,473 = 49.729. Rounding this off, we get Mary's route was 49.73 miles long.
- Nancy drove √2,840 miles = 53.2916 miles.
- So Mary drove the shortest distance of 49.73 miles, second shortest was Theo who drove for 50 miles and the longest was Nancy who drove for 53.299 miles.
You could get two different functions out of this:
<u>2x + 2y = 8</u>
1). <u> 'y' as a function of 'x'</u>
Subtract 2x from each side: 2y = -2x + 8
Divide each side by 2 : <em> y = -x + 4</em>
2). <u> 'x' as a function of 'y' :</u>
Subtract 2y from each side: 2x = -2y + 8
Divide each side by 2 : <em> x = -y + 4</em>
Those two functions look the same, but that's just because the original
equation given in the problem was so symmetrical. In general, they're
not the same function.
Six divided by five maybe and add a 1
Answer:
$12.09
Step-by-step explanation:
formula; Y= kx
where; y = $24.18
x = 2 books
k = constant of proportionality
Step 1. Do the equation based on the data given
Y = kx
$24.18 = k2
Step 2. Compute the mathematical equation. Divide both sides by 2 to eliminate coefficient in the variable.
<u>24.18 =k2</u>
2
k = $ 12.09 is the constant of proportionality cost in dlooars per book
Answer:
x = 1/20 y^2
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a rightward opening (sideways ) parabola
Directrix = x = -5
Distance formula form point x,y to directrix and focus are equal:
(x - -5)^2 = (x-5)^2 + y^2
x^2 + 10x + 25 = x^2 - 10x + 25 + y^2
20x = y^2
x = 1/20 y^2
