While in France, Judy wants to sign up for a bike tour to see the countryside. She likes a tour that is 40 kilometers long, but

she isn't sure how far that is. She decides to estimate the distance in miles. If Judy uses the fact that 1 kilometer is about 0.6 miles, what will her estimate be?

Answer:

24 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate Judy's estimation, we would simply have to multiply the actual distance in kilometers of the tour by the number of miles that Judy believes are in a single mile. This would give us Judy's estimation for how long the tour would be in miles.

40 km. * 0.6 miles = 24 miles

Finally, we can see that Judy's estimation would be that the tour is 24 miles long. Using Judy's believed conversion rate.

Answer:

$y=\frac{2}{3}x-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Looking at the graph, you can find the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the point where x equals 0:

$b=-6$

$y-intercept=(0,-6)$

To find the slope, take any two points from the line:

$(6,-2)(3,-4)$

Use the slope formula for when you have two points:

$\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{rise}{run}$

The rise over run is the change in the y-axis over the change of the x-axis. Insert the appropriate values:

$(6(x_{1}),-2(y_{1})\\(3(x_{2}),-4(y_{2})$

$\frac{-4-(-2)}{3-6}$

Simplify parentheses (two negatives makes a positive):

$\frac{-4+2}{3-6}$

$\frac{-2}{-3}$

Simplify (two negatives make a positive):

$m=\frac{2}{3}$

The slope is $\frac{2}{3}$ and the y-intercept is $-6$ . Insert these into the equation:

$y=\frac{2}{3}x-6$

Finito.

What value for C will make the expression a perfect square trinomial x2-7x+c

Tom [10]

Answer:

The value of c is 12.25

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A perfect square trinomial is of the form

$(x-a)^{2}=x^{2}-2ax+a^{2}$

In this problem we have

$x^{2}-7x+c$

so

equate the equations

$x^{2}-7x+c=x^{2}-2ax+a^{2}$

we have

the following equations

$-7x=-2ax$ -----> equation A

and

$c=a^{2}$ -----> equation B

<u>Solve the equation A</u>

$-7x=-2ax$

$7=2a$

$a=3.5$

<u>Solve the equation B</u>

$c=a^{2}$

$c=3.5^{2}=12.25$

therefore

$(x-3.5)^{2}=x^{2}-7x+12.25$

The value of c is 12.25

$2,000 loan at 8% for 5 years.

Harman [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

$2,800 = Principle + Interest

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Using PRT/100, let's find the interest.

=> 2,000 x 8 x 5/100
=> 20 x 8 x 5
=> $800

<u>Conclusion: </u>

Therefore, the interest plus principle is 2,000 + 800, which is $2,800.

Hoped this helped.
