Answer:

The answer is 40 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

A boy leaves on a bicycle trip at the rate of 8 mph.

One hour later the father, sets out by car.

Let x be the speed of the father.

Distance of boy = rate x time = 8(1.25)

Distance of father = 0.25x

We will equal both Distance = Distance

8(1.25)=0.25x

=> 10=0.25x

Multiplying both sides by 4:

40=4(0.25x)

x = 40

Hence, the answer is 40 mph.

<span>To catch him in 15 minutes the father must travel 32 miles per hour faster (since 1/4 hr * 32 mph = 8 miles)...
Thus the father must drive at 40 miles per hour. </span>

Mathematical connection A lighthouse casts a revolving beam of light as far as the pier
Alexandra [31]

The light's coverage area is given mathematically as i.e. Area=\pi d^{2}

Given that a lighthouse casts a revolving beam of light as far as they peir and asked the area is covered.

The revolving beam of light covers the whole space i.e entirely 360°

I.e. it forms a circle-like region

Area of circle = \pi r^{2}{ where r is the radius of circle}

Let's assume the distance traveled by light as "d"

as it forms a circular region, it forms a circle of radius "d"

Mathematical connection i.e. area of the region

⇒area of circular region=\pi d^{2} {where d is the radius of region}

Write the following equation in slope -intercept form : y - 3 = 4(x + 2)​
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

y=4x+11

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply 4 into the parentheses to get y-3=4x+8 then invert -3 so add three to both sides to get rid of it so instead of +8 its +11 so now its y=4x+11 and slope intercept is y=mx+b, so 4 is m, slope, and 11 is b, the y intercept i hope that helps

He put in the value of x into y
and the value of y in x
if that confuse you here this is what it will look like
