Answer:
A.) k=0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
If we use the formula given: y=kx, we can plug in values.
0.5=k(1)
0.5=(0.5)(1)
0.5=0.5
We know that to get from 1 to 0.5, we need to divide by two, or multiple by 1/2. 1/2 in decimal form is 0.5
We'll represent the distance as d and the time as t.
d= 3(t+7) because Gilda is 7 minutes late when travelling 3 mph
d= 4(t-5) because Gilda is 5 minutes early at 4 mph
d= 3t + 21
d= 4t -20
3t +21 =4t -20
41=t
d= 3(41) +21= 144
The distance is 144 miles.
Answer:
Yes. Her solution is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's check if Jenna solution is correct:
To solve the equation 2x^2 +5x - 42 = 0, we can use Bhaskara's formula:
D = b^2 - 4ac = 25 + 4*2*42 = 25+336 = 361
sqrt(D) = 19
x1 = (-5 + 19)/4 = 14/4 = 7/2
x2 = (-5 - 19)/4 = -24/4 = -6
We must agree with Jenna's solution, because the values she found as solution are correct: with we replace these values of x in the equation, we will find 0 = 0, which is correct and proves that these values are the solution of the equation.
-8
On the number line if you are at positive 8 and add -8 you will lose 8 and get zero! Hope this helps!
1/2 of 14 is 7. multiply 14/1 to 1/2.
