A man (M) is standing on the bank of a river that is 0.9 miles wide. He wants to reach a house (B) on the opposite shore that is

0.9 miles downstream. The man can row the boat 3 mph and can walk 4.5mph. Find the distance between the house and the point (P) where he should dock his boat in order to minimize the total time he would need to reach the house. Enter the exact answer or round to the nearest hundredth.

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.

Can anyone help and explain how to do this it’s very confusing?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

Find the slopes; 123 servings

Step-by-step explanation:

When you look at the graph and table, find out which ones have a slope of 1/2

To find slope you have to use this equation

\frac{y - y^1}{x - x^1}

So for each graph and table, calculate the slope using that formula :)

For the second question,

For every 10 students, the amount of juice dispensed was

7*4 + 3*8 = 52

So divide 52 by 10 to get 5.2

Then divide the total amount of juice (640) by 5.2 and that rounds to about 123 servings of juice

Equation of a line, in general form, that is perpendicular to 2x-3y + 7 = 0 and passes through the point (-3/4, 1)
TEA [102]

Answer:

  12x +8y +1 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write the equation by swapping the x- and y-coefficients and negating one of them. Then compute the constant that makes the line go through the given point. You can do that like this:

  3(x-(-3/4)) +2(y -1) = 0

  3x +9/4 +2y -2 = 0 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  3x +2y +1/4 = 0 . . . . . . . simplify

To eliminate the fraction, multiply by 4:

  12x +8y +1 = 0

_____

<em>Comment on the equation</em>

The line ax+by=0 passes through the origin. Replacing x and y with x-h and y-k, respectively, makes the line pass through the point (h, k). That's what we did above to make the line pass through the given point.

The business of swapping coefficients and negating one causes the slope of the new line to be the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line. That is what makes the new line perpendicular to the original.
