Answer:
The distance is 2.2360....
Step-by-step explanation:
Hope this helps! Have an Amazing day!!
A: cost= 3*55+.35m
B: cost=3*50+.40m
set the costs equal, and solve for m.
So let's start by guesstimating the slopes:
the green line has a slope close to -x, but more negative than that, possibly -2; the pink line has a slope close to +x, but higher towards +2.
Next let's look at the solution: the two lines intersect at the point (1, -1).
**you could just simple plug that x (1) into all the equations, but let's rule out answers anyway. ;)
A) is incorrect because the slopes of -1 and +1 are off from out predicted -2 and +2
B) is incorrect because of a similar reason, the slopes of +3 and +1 don't make any sense
C) Ooh, we do have a +2 and -2 for the slopes, and... violà! plug in 1 for the x's and we get -1 for the y in both equations
D) slopes are closer than in A and B, but plugging in 1 doesn't get us -1
So the correct answer is:
C) y = 2x - 3 and y = −2x + 1
There were 72 more maple trees before the bug problem then after because there was 108 maple trees before the bug problem and 36 maple trees after the bug problem
35 which is slope which in turn represents the speed.
