Answer:

In the first 3.5 hours, the family travelled 175 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the table:

time (hours)              distance ( miles)

      0                                   0

      1                                   50

       2                                 100

      3                                  150

      4                                 200

      5                                 250

      6                                 300

      7                                 350

      8                                 400

      9                                 450

This seems like a linear relationship, let's write the general line:

y = a*x + b

That represents this situation, y is the distance in miles and x is the time in hours.

In the line equation, a represents the slope and b the y-intercept.

And if the line passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the slope of the line is:

a = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

In this case we have a lot of points for the line, we can use any pair we want (we actually should use a few different pairs to see that the slope is always the same)

So if we use the first two (0, 0) and (1, 50)

the slope is:

a = (50 - 0)/(1 - 0) = 50

Now, if we use the third and fifth points (4, 200) and (5, 250) now the slope is:

a = (250 - 200)/(5 - 4) = 50/1 = 50

So we can conclude that the slope of the equation is a = 50

Then the equation is something like:

y = 50*x + b

To find the value of b, we can use any of the points of the line, for example (0, 0)

This means that when x = 0, y also must be 0, then:

0 = 50*0 + b

0 = b

Then the equation is:

y = 50*x

Now, to answer how many miles the family travelled in the first 3.5 hours, we just need to replace x by 3.5 in the equation:

y = 50*3.5 = 175

In the first 3.5 hours, the family travelled 175 miles.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 50 millimeters long. One leg of the right triangle is 30 millimeters long. What is the len
alexandr1967 [171]
First. we use the Pythagorean theorem:
a {}^{2} +  b {}^{2} =  c {}^{2}
Add the numbers in
{30}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  =  {50}^{2}
start simplifying
{b}^{2}  = 1600
b = 40

So, the leg has a length of 40 mm.

Please help me with geometry !! Been stuck a while
Nataly [62]

Answer:

area of circle having radius 3

is πr²=π*3²=9π square units

area of circle having radius 2

=πr²=π×2²=4π square units

again

area of big circle having radius [3+2]=5 units

=πr²=π×5²=25π square units

Now

Vanessa purchased a smart TV for $1,500 on a payment plan. Four months after purchasing the TV, her balance was $1,200. 7 months
fredd [130]

Answer:

The expression for her balance is "B(t) = -75*t + 1500". It'll take her 20 months to pay off the loan.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are looking for a function that has the following points:

B(0) = 1500

B(4) = 1200

B(7) = 975

Between B(4) and B(7), there was a variation of 3 months and a variation of -225 on her balance, thefore for each month that passed there was a variation of -75. Thefore, the expression for her ballance is:

B(t) = -75*t + 1500

To check if this expression is valid, we will apply the values provided on the problem:

B(0) = -75*0 + 1500 = 1500 (valid)

B(4) = -75*4 + 1500 = -300 + 1500 = 1200 (valid)

B(7) = -75*7 + 1500 = -525 + 1500 = 975 (valid)

When she pays of her loan, B(t) = 0, so we need to solve for t as shown below:

B(t) = -75*t + 1500 = 0

-75*t + 1500 = 0

75*t = 1500

t = 1500 / 75 = 20 months

It'll take her 20 months to pay the loan.
