dale is driving to Miami. suppose that the distance (in miles) is a linear function of his total driving time (in minutes). dale

has 59 miles to his destination after 40 minutes of driving, and he had 50 miles to his distination after 52 minutes of driving. how many miles will he have to his destination after 70 minutes of driving?

Considering there is a function (relationship) and that it is linear, the distance will change proportionally to time constantly. In other words, we are taking the speed to be constant throughout the journey.
If we let:
t = time (min's) driving
d = distance (miles) from destination
Then we can represent the above information as:
t = 40: d = 59
t = 52: d = 50
If we think of this as a graph, we can think of the x-axis representing time and the y-axis representing the distance to the destination. Being linear, the function will be a line, i.e. it will have a constant gradient. If you were plot the two points inferred from the information and connect the two dots, you will get a declining line (one with a negative gradient) representing the inversely proportional relationship or equally, the negative correlation between the time driving and the distance to the destination. The equation of this line will be the linear function that relates time and the distance to the destination. To find this linear function, we do as follows:

Find the gradient (m) of the line:
m = Δy/Δx
In this case, the x-values are t-values and our y-values are d-values, so:
Δy = Δd
= 50 - 59
= -9
Δx = Δt
= 52 - 40
= 12
m = -9/12 = -3/4
Note: m is equivalent to speed with units: d/t

Use formula to find function and rearrange to give it in the desired format:
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
d - 50 = -3/4(t - 52)
4d - 200 = -3t + 156
4d + 3t - 356 = 0

Let t = 70 to find d at the time:
4d + 3(70) - 356 = 0
4d + 210 - 356 = 0
4d - 146 = 0
4d = 146
d = 73/2 = 36.5 miles

So after 70 min's of driving, Dale will be 36.5 miles from his destination.

Simplify the expression.<br><br> can anyone explain to me how to do this? please
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

The answer is the last one (32x^7y^15)

You can bring x to the second power (x^2) because (x) is basically x^1. This is a basic exponent rule. (x^m)^n = x^m times n.

Then you can apply this rule to (2xy^3)^5. First you bring two to the fifth power and get 32. Then you bring x^5 according to the rule. Then you bring y^15, also because of the rule.

Now you have:

x^2 times 32x^5y^15

Now you just multiply the like terms together (x^2 and x^5)

When you multiply two exponents with the same base, you add the exponents together: a^n times a^m = a^n+m.

So you end up with 32x^7y^15

For the​ following, indicate whether a confidence interval for a proportion or mean should be constructed to estimate the variab
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The research question is given as "Does chewing your food for a longer period of time reduce​ one's caloric intake of food at​dinner?"

Here interest of study variable is "reduction of caloric intake of food at dinner".

For construction of confidence interval, the researcher records the calorie consumption at dinner.

Since calorie consumption is a variable, we need to construct confidence interval for mean.

So correct choice of sentences as "The confidence interval for a mean should be constructed because the variable of interest is an individual's reduction in caloric intake, which is a quantitative variable."
