Two people are driving to work at different constant speeds. The graph below shows the distance traveled over time by driver 1.

Luden [163]3 years ago

Answer:

5 mph

Step-by-sep explanation:

To find of out the difference between the speed of the two drivers in miles per hour (not in miles per minute), first, calculate the unit rate or speed of driver 1 using the graph, and driver 2 using the table given.

Unit rate/speed = distance travelled/time = y/x.

Speed of Driver 1/unit rate:

The graph shows 1.5 miles (y) is travelled in 2 minutes (x).

Convert the 2 minutes to hour, you will have:

\frac{2}{60} = \frac{1}{30} hr

Speed in mph = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{1.5}{\frac{1}{30}} = 1.5*\frac{30}{1} = 45

Speed of Driver 1 in mph = 45 mph

Speed of Driver 2/unit rate:

The table shows 2.5 miles (y) is travelled in 3 minutes (x).

Convert the 3 minutes to hour, you will have:

\frac{3}{60} = \frac{1}{20} hr

Speed in mph = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{2.5}{\frac{1}{20}} = 2.5*\frac{20}{1} = 50

Speed of Driver 2 in mph = 50 mph

Difference between the speed of the two drivers = 50 - 45 = 5 mph

If triangle abc is reflected over the x-axis, reflected over the y-axis, and rotated 180 degrees, where will point b' lie?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle would end up back where it started.  It is hard to explain without a graph.  If you have graph paper, you might want to try drawing this out.  Say that the original points are at A (1,2) B (2,0) and C(0,0).  Now, when we reflect the points over the x axis, they will be the same distance below the x that the points original were about the x axis.  Since A was 2 units above the axis, it will now be 2 units below at (1, -2).  Points B and C will stay on the x axis and will remain in place at B(2.0) and C(0,0).  Since these points are on the line, they were not above the x axis, so they will now not be below the x axis.

Now, we are going to reflect the triangle over the y axis.  Since C (0,0) is already on the y axis, it will not move.  It will remain there.  Since B(2,1) is two units to the right of the y axis, when we flip it, it will now be 2 units to the left of the y axis B (-2,0).  Point C will move one unit to the left of the y axis to become (-1,2).

The last thing left it to rotate this final triangle 180 degrees.  Since a circle is 360 degrees and 180 is half of a circle, it does not matter if we rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise.  If you could trace our new triangle and put a plus sign at the origin (0,0).  You would put your pencil on the origin  and rotate the two turns at the plus sign.  This would put your triangle right back to the beginning.  So the original value of B would be the same.  In this case C ((2,0)

Bingel [31]

Answer:

  28x +196 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The outside dimension of the square green rug is (x+14), so its area is (x+14)^2. The area of the green band will be the difference between this and the area of the yellow square, (x^2).

  green band area = (x +14)^2 -(x^2) = x^2 +28x +196 -x^2

  green band area = 28x +196 . . . . square inches
