Many people enjoy challenging themselves by running in marathons. A marathon is a 26-mile race. The runners wear numbers that id

entify them so their progress can be tracked at checkpoints throughout the race. Such races can be modeled using equations. An athlete is running in a marathon that eventually finishes at a local high school. After x minutes, the distance the athlete is from the school is given by y (in miles), where x + 10y = 260 (Note: 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 26). Use the relationship between x and y to find the time it takes for the runner to reach the school.

<span>To x, we can use the equation x + 10y = 260. Solving for x, we now have x = 260 - 10y. We know that at the end, the runner is 0 miles from the school, so y = 0. Therefore x = 260 minutes.</span>

First we clear y from the given equation
 x + 10y = 260
 10y = 260-x
 y = (260-x) / (10)
 Then, we evaluate the function within the domain of it
 x = 0
 y = (260- (0)) / (10)
 y = (260) / (10)
 y = 26
 x = 10
 y = (260- (10)) / (10)
 y = (250) / (10)
 y = 25
 That is, you travel 1 mile in 10 minutes.
 Therefore, traveling 26 miles will take:
 (26) * (10) = 260 min
 answer
 it takes for the runner to reach the school 260min.

What is the square root of -6.76
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

2.6i

Step-by-step explanation:

undo the - by making it:  √-6.76= √6.76 x  √-1

then,  √-1 would be converted to imaginary number -> i

now rewrite it as  √6.76 x i or i√6.76 which is the same as the squareroot of 6.76 which is 2.6 times i.

Then just write your final answer as 2.6i

-20 28/35, -20, 20 28/40, 20 27/30

- the negative numbers will always be less than the positive numbers, so those will be first. Now you have to find the BIGGEST negative number, that’s is worth less than the smaller negative number, because negatives are like opposites of positives. So the bigger negative number is first, then the next negative number. Now you just find the smallest positive number to the biggest positive number.
