The equation $y+4x=100$ represents your distance y (in meters) from the finish line x seconds after you begin your leg of a rela

y race. The equation $y+3.8x=97$ represents your opponent's distance from the finish line. How far do you need to run until you catch up to your opponent?

Answer:

3 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

If y= distance (in meters) from the finish line

x= time in seconds after the beginning of the leg of relay race.

At x=0, when the race has not started,

From the runner's equation

y+4(0)=100

y=100 metres

Also, from his opponent's equation

y+3.8x=97

y+(3.8X0)=97

y=97

The distance needed by the runner to catch up to his opponent

= 100-97 =3 metres

<span>The number of dollars collected can be modelled by both a linear model and an exponential model. To calculate the number of dollars to be calculated on the 6th day based on a linear model, we recall that the formula for the equation of a line is given by (y - y1) / (x - x1) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) = (1, 2) and (x2, y2) = (3, 8) The equation of the line representing the model = (y - 2) / (x - 1) = (8 - 2) / (3 - 1) = 6 / 2 = 3 y - 2 = 3(x - 1) = 3x - 3 y = 3x - 3 + 2 = 3x - 1 Therefore, the amount of dollars to be collected on the 6th day based on the linear model is given by y = 3(6) - 1 = 18 - 1 = $17 To calculate the number of dollars to be calculated on the 6th day based on an exponential model, we recall that the formula for exponential growth is given by y = ar^(x-1), where y is the number of dollars collected and x represent each collection day and a is the amount collected on the first day = $2. 8 = 2r^(3 - 1) = 2r^2 r^2 = 8/2 = 4 r = sqrt(4) = 2 Therefore, the amount of dollars to be collected on the 6th day based on the exponential model is given by y = 2(2)^(5 - 1) = 2(2)^4 = 2(16) = $32</span>
