If we would have assigned a different value for x, the equation would have given us another value for y. We could instead have assigned a value for y and solved the equation to find the matching value of x.
In our equation y=x+7, we have two variables, x and y. The variable which we assign the value we call the independent variable, and the other variable is the dependent variable, since it value depends on the independent variable. In our example above, x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable.
A function is an equation that has only one answer for y for every x. A function assigns exactly one output to each input of a specified type.
It is common to name a function either f(x) or g(x) instead of y. f(2) means that we should find the value of our function when x equals 2.
Answer:
x1 = 275 miles (shorter)
x2 = 318 miles (longer)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x1 = be the shorter route
v1 = speed of the car in the shorter route
t1 = time it took to cover shorter route
x2 = the longer route
v2 = speed of the car in the longer route
t2 = time it took to cover longer route
x1 + 43 = x2 (1)
v2 = v1 -2 (2)
v2 = x2/t2 = x2/6
v1 = x1/t1 = x1/5
This means that
v2 = v1 -2 =>
x2/6 = x1/5 -2
The system of equations results
a. x1 -x2 = -43
b. x1/5 - x2/6 = 2
Solving this system of equations, we find that
x1 = 275 miles
x2 = 318 miles
Answer:
si quieres la respuesta pon más puntos
X= 2.5
just move the terms collect the terms calculate it, divide both sides !!
The measurement should be 130 according to my calculations
