Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

D(t) = 3260 - 55t

The function that shows their distance from home as a function of time shows that they started 3260 miles from home and are driving at 55 miles per hour.

part a:

D(12) = 3260  55(12)

D(12) = 3260 - 660

D(12) = 2600

Interpretation: After 12 hours of driving home, they are 2600 miles from home.

part b:

D(t) = 2490

3260 - 55t = 2490

-55t = -770

t = 14

Interpretation: When they are 2490 miles from home, they have driven for 14 hours.

Which of the following linear systems has a solution <br> (5,0)<br> SOMEONE PLS HELPPP
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

out of the choices

A) 2x-y=-2

3x+2y=-10

B) x+4y=3

2x+5y=3

C) 2x+3y=5

x-4y=-14

D) 3x+4y=15

x+y=5

only the system in D has a solution of x=5 and y=0

solve by substitution x+y=5 so x=5-y

plug into the other equation so 3(5-y)+4y=15

distribute 15-3y+4y=15 then minus 15 on both sides and combine like terms

so y=0 then put that value back into the other equation

so x+y=5 equals x+0=5 so x=5 this means the solution to the system of equations is the point (5,0)

Hope this helps! :)

If f(x)=x-2 and g(x)=1/2x, find g(f(x))
Scilla [17]

Answer:

hello :

If f(x)=x-2 and g(x)=1/2x,

g(f(x)) = g ( x - 2 )

          = 1/2(x-2)

g(f(x)) = (1/2)x - 1

It takes a hose 2 minutes to fill a rectangular aquarium 8 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 14 inches tall. How long will it tak
kari74 [83]

Answer:

66 minutes, or 1 hour and 6 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

let us first do the rectangular aquarium:

8 x 10 = 80

80 x 14 = 1120

now the second box

23 x 25 = 575

575 x 33 = 18975

we can divide the boxes volume:

18975/575 = 33

so all we have to do is times 33 by 2 which equals:

66 minutes, or 1 hour and 6 minutes.

Given a quadratic function in vertex form:
Alja [10]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part A</u>

A vertical stretch takes place when a\cdot f(x) given that  |a| > 1

<u>Part B</u>

A vertical compression takes place when a\cdot f(x) given that 0 < |a| < 1

<u>Part C</u>

A vertical stretch is different than a horizontal compression:

  • In a vertical stretch, the input stays the same, but the output is multiplied by the scale factor
  • In a horizontal compression, the output stays the same, but the input is multiplied by the scale factor

<u>Part D</u>

A reflection across the x-axis means that the output, our y-variable, is the opposite sign. This means that all values of a must be negative such that a\cdot f(x) as mentioned in parts A and B. Also, in part C, since our scale factor is negative, the output is the only one being multiplied by the scale factor.
