Answer:

60 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we are looking at the rate, miles per hour. We know that Andrea traveled 300 miles in 5 hours, but how many miles did she travel in one hour? Let's do the math:

$300$ ÷ $5=60$ miles.

So, in one hours, Andrea travels 60 miles. We get the rate, 60mph.

Andrea was driving at 60 mph.

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions :)

25 POINTS! What is the distance between the points (2, 3) and (5, -4)? (XY AXIS)

Finger [1]

The distance could be calculated as follows:
d = $\sqrt{ (5-2)^{2} + (-4-3)^2} }$
d = $\sqrt{ 3^{2} + (-7)^{2}$
d = $\sqrt{58}$

Find the exponential function that passes through the points (2,80) and (5,5120)

juin [17]

Answer:

y = 5·4^x

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), whose relationship can be described by the exponential function ...

y = a·b^x

you can find the values of 'a' and 'b' as follows.

Substitute the given points:

y1 = a·b^(x1)

y2 = a·b^(x1)

Divide the second equation by the first:

y2/y1 = ((ab^(x2))/(ab^(x1)) = b^(x2 -x1)

Take the inverse power (root):

(y2/y1)^(1/(x2 -x1) = b

Use this value of 'b' to find 'a'. Here, we have solved the first equation for 'a'.

a = y1/(b^(x1))

In summary:

b = (y2/y1)^(1/(x2 -x1))
a = y1·b^(-x1)

For the problem at hand, (x1, y1) = (2, 80) and (x2, y2) = (5, 5120).

b = (5120/80)^(1/(5-2)) = ∛64 = 4

a = 80·4^(-2) = 80/16 = 5

The exponential function is ...

y = 5·4^x

A boat travels 30 miles up the river in the same amount of time it takes to travel 38 miles down the same river. If the current

Ksenya-84 [330]

X miles per hour - speed of the boat in still water
(x - 2) - speed up the river
(x + 2) - speed down the river

$\frac{30}{x - 2}$ = $\frac{38}{x + 2}$
30 * (x + 2) = 38 * (x - 2)
30x + 60 = 38x - 76
- 8x = - 136
x = 17 miles per hour - the speed of the boat in still water.
