The equation d = 2t^ gives the distance from the start point of a toy boat that starts at rest and accelerates at 4 cm/s2. The e

quation d = 10t - 8 gives the distance from the start point of a second boat that starts at rest 8 cm behind the first boat and travels at a constant rate of 10 cm/s.
a) By setting the equations equal to each other, you can determine when the cars are the same distance from the start point: 2t2 = 10t - 8. Rewrite the equation so it is equal to 0 on the right hand side of the equation.

b) Factor the expression on the left side of the equation.

c) boats are the same distance from the start point at t = 1 and t = 4. Explain how the factors you found in part b were used to find these two times.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

d = 2t^2 and d = 10t - 8

If we equate both since they are distances, we have:

2t^2 = 10t - 8  

Algebraically, moving the equation to the right side, we get:

2t^ 2 = 10t -8 \\ \\ 2t^2 -10t +8 =0

To factor the equation on the left side:

2t^2 - 10t + 8 = 0

Factor out 2 on the left-hand side:

2 (t^2 -5t + 4) =0

=2 (t^2 -t-4t + 4)

= 2[t(t-1)-4(t-1)]

=2(t-1) (t-4)

To determine the time when the two boats have to cover an equal distance:

2(t -1)(t-4) =0 \\ \\(t-1)(t-4) =0

Thus:

t - 1 = 0 \  or \  t - 4 = 0 \\ \\ t = 1  \   or   \  t = 4

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation: The reason is when the circle is empty, it means it isn't equal to and is either only less than or greater than, when the circle is full, it means it can be less than or equal to 5.

The equation of line L is y=5x+1
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have equal slopes.

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

L₁ is y = 5x + 1 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 5

L₂ is 2y - 10x + 3 = 0 ( subtract - 10x + 3 from both sides )

2y = 10x - 3 ( divide all terms by 2 )

y = 5x - \frac{3}{2} ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 5

Since L₁ and L₂ have equal slopes then they are parallel lines
