Answer:

<h2>The time needed is 10 months.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are (0, 3500) and (5, 1750).

First, we use the formula below to find the slope of the line

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2} -x_{1} }=\frac{1750-3500}{5-0}=\frac{-1750}{5}=-350

Which means the function is deacrasing with a ratio of 350 feet per month.

Now, we use the slope and one point to find the equation

y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )\\y-1750=-350(x-5)\\y=-350x+1750+1750\\y=-350x+3500

This linear function shows that the situation started at the y-intecept (0, 3500), which means the month 0 had already 3500 feet. In other words, the total distance is 3500 feet. Now, the x-intercept will tell us the time needed to travel that distance.

0=-350x+3500\\-3500=-350x\\x=\frac{-3500}{-350}\\ x=10

Therefore, the time needed is 10 months.

A water taxi travels around an island in a path that can be modeled by the equation y =0.5(x - 16). A water skier is skiing alon
Eddi Din [679]

I realize that the equation is different, but do it in the same way, it'll help! It is given that the water​ taxi's path can be modeled by the equation y =0.5(x - 14)^2. ​Therefore, this is one of the equations in this system. Find a linear equation that will model the path of the water​ skier, which begins at the point (6,6) and ends at the point (8,-4). The slope is (-5). Use the slope and one point on the line to find the​ y-intercept of the line.  The​ y-intercept of the line that passes through the points (6,6) and (8,-4) is (0,36). Thus, the equation is y=-5x+36. Now, to determine if it is possible for the water skier to collide with the​ taxi, we have to determine if there is a solution to the system of equations. To determine if there is a solution to the system of​ equations, solve the system using substitution.​ First, write the equation that models the water​ taxi's path in standard form. y=0.5(x - 14)^2-->0.5x^2-14x+98. Use substitution. Substitute for  y in the equation and then solve for  x. As the expression on the left side of the equation cannot easily be​ factored, use the Quadratic Formula to solve for x. Do x=-b(plusorminus)sqrrtb^2-4ac/2a. Identify a, b, and c. a=0.5, b=-9, and c=62. Substitute into the Quadratic Formula. If there is a negative number under the radical, there are NO solutions. Thus, the path of the water skier will never cross the path of the taxi.

In conclusion: It is not possible that the water skier could collide with the taxi as the two paths never cross.

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The correct option is A)  {x | x = –5, –3, 1, 2, 6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided diagram.

Here the left side represents the input (X) values and the right side represents the output (Y) values.

The domain refers to the set of possible input values.

Now consider the provided figure, the set of input value is:

{x | x = –5, –3, 1, 2, 6}

Hence, the correct option is A)  {x | x = –5, –3, 1, 2, 6}
