Answer:

1.49 hrs or 1 hr and 30 minutes approximately

Step-by-step explanation:

if fran go 2.8m up then the river flow at a rate of 0.8m; the since we are taking the speed of fran and river to be constant. the ratio between their speed will always remain constant. that is if 0.8/2.8 = 0.286≈ this will be always constant.

so if he go up 4m then the horizontal length has to be 1.143 because 1.143/4 = 0.286.

now we find the distance between frans initial positon and final position. to find it we use pythagoras theorem.

\sqrt{(4^2 + 1.143^2)} =4.160 miles

to find the time divide distance traveled by speed;

4.160/2.8 = 1.49 hrs

Which expression can be used to determine the average rate of change in f(x) over the interval mc001-1.jpg
Mrac [35]
The average rate of change of a function f(x) over an interval (a, b) is given by
\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

Therefore, given a function, f(x), over an interval (2, 9), the average rate of change of the function can be found using the expression
\frac{f(9)-f(2)}{9-2}

Jordan throws a ball from a cliff 12 feet above the ground with an initial velocity of 32 feet per second. In the following func
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Your answer will be the third function

Step-by-step explanation:

The base function you need to know is h(t)= 1/2at^2

Your acceleration in this problem is going to be gravity which they give to you, 32 feet per second squared. Since the ball is falling, it means it will have negative acceleration. Now you have the equation h(t)= -16t^2. The final step is to add the initial height from which the ball was dropped giving you: h(t)= -16t^2 +12

Please help and explain with these 2 math questions!!!!!!
Volgvan

1)  -10x+y=4

Now, you should substitute x in every situation.

* x=-2 <em>=> -10*(-2)+y=4... 20+y=4... <u>y=-16</u></em>

<em />* x=-1 =>-10*(-1)+y=4... 10+y=4... <u>y=-6</u>

<u />*x=0 => -10*0+y=4... <u>y=4</u>

<u />* x=1 =>  -10*1+y=4... -10+y=4... <u>y=14</u>

<u />* x=2 => -10*2+y=4... -20+y=4... <u>y=24</u>

<u>2)</u> -5x-1=y

For example: x=0

-5*0-1=-1

<u>
