Let the time that you caught up with your friend be t, then
8.5 - 3.4t = 8 - 3t
3.4t - 3t = 8.5 - 8
0.4t = 0.5
t = 0.5/0.4 = 1.25
therefore, you will catch up with your friend after 1.25 hours.
b.) time it will take you to cross the finnish line = 8.5/3.4 = 2.5 hours
After 2.5 hours, distance covered by your friend = 3 x 2.5 = 7.5 miles
Therefore, when you cross the finish line, you are 8 - 7.5 = 0.5 miles ahead of your friend.
Answer: -4
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 4 = -8
3x= -12
x = -4

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 2 secants intersect a circle from a point outside the circle, then
The product of the external part and the entire part of one secant is equal to the product of the external part and the entire part of the other secant, that is
x(x + 10 + x) = 6(6 + 10 + x)
x(2x + 10) = 6(16 + x) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
2x² + 10x = 96 + 6x ← subtract 96 + 6x from both sides
2x² + 4x - 96 = 0 ← in standard form
Divide through by 2
x² + 2x - 48 = 0 ← factor the left side
(x + 8)(x - 6) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = - 8
x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6
However x > 0 ⇒ x = 6 → C
The answer should be y=-4x^2
