Answer:

The distance between the hose and the point (P) is 0.9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have

Speed of rowing the boat = 3 mph

Speed of waling = 4.5 mph

Since the speed of walking is more than that of to row the  boat, the location of where he should dock his boat in order to minimize the total time he would need to reach the house is the shortest distance across the river to the house

Therefore the location of the point (P) should be directly opposite the house across the water and the distance id 0.9 miles.

kvv77 [185]
Answer: ( -7 , -3 )


Step by step:
The point: ( X , Y )
Left 2 units = change X by -2
So, -5 subtract by 2 equals -7
Down 3 units = change Y by -3
So, 0 subtract by 3 equals -3
Now, X = -7 and Y = -3, so the answer is ( -7 , -3 )

Pls answer precisely
Nata [24]

Answer:

The third one

Step-by-step explanation:

Its asking if its positive in the interval [-3, -2]

Which means you only look at the graph from -3, -2 on the x axis and we are looking see which one is positive in that space.  And by positive it means going up in a positive direction.  Only the third one does this.
