The difference of the distances traveled by the comets for any given number of minutes is 25t.

Since the first comet travels at a speed of 30,000 miles per hour, the distance it travels in t minutes is d = 30000 mph × 1 h/60 min × t = 500t miles.

Also, the second comet travels at a speed of 28,500 miles per hour, the distance it travels in t minutes is d' = 28,500 mph × 1 h/60 min × t = 475t miles.

So, the difference in the distances traveled by the comets D = d - d'

= 500t - 475t

= 25t

So, the difference of the distances traveled by the comets for any given number of minutes is 25t.

Of the following equations below, which equation represents a direct variation between x and y?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

C. y +3 = x +3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find in below option x has direct variation with y.

We solve for each;

A. 2y = 3x-7

From above equation we can state that 2 times y is equal to 7 less than 3 times of x.

Hence it doesn't represent direct variation.  

B. y-4 = x+6

Solving above expression we get;

y-4 = x+6\\y = x+6+4\\y=x+10

From above equation we can state that y is equal to 10 more than x.

Hence it doesn't represent direct variation.

C. y+3 = x+3

Solving above expression we get;

y+3 = x+3\\y = x+3-3\\y=x

From above equation we can state that y is equal to x.

Hence it represent direct variation.

D. 4y+1 = 4x-1

Solving above expression we get;

4y+1 = 4x-1\\4y = 4x-1-1\\4y=4x-2

From above equation we can state that 4 times y is equal to 2 less than 4 times of x.

Hence it doesn't represent direct variation.

Hence the Answer which represent direct variation of x and y is,

C. y+3 = x+3

Honestly I dont know how to do this just please help me
V125BC [204]
F(x) = 3x - 2
f(8) = 3(8) - 2
f(8) = 24 - 2
f(8) = 22
f(-5) = 3(-5) - 2
f(-5) = -15 - 2
f(-5) = -17
f(8) - f(-5) = 22 - (-17)
f(8) - f(-5) = 39
Hope this helped! Good luck! :)

Determine which of these sequences is an arithmetic sequence. Then determine the explicit formula that would be used to define t
vagabundo [1.1K]

6)

34, 43, 52, 61, ...

43-34 = 9; 52-43 = 9; 61-52 = 9

The difference between one term and the next is a constant so it is arithmetic sequence

first term:  a = 34

difference:  d = 9

so the formula:

                         a_n=a+d(n-1)\\\\a_n=34+9(n-1)\\\\a_n = 34+9n-9\\\\\underline{a_n=9n+25}

7)

10, 6, 2, -2, ...

6-10 = -4; 2-6 = -4; -2-2 = -4

The difference between one term and the next is a constant so it is arithmetic sequence

first term:  a = 10

difference:  d = -4

so the formula:

                         a_n=a+d(n-1)\\\\a_n=10+(-4)(n-1)\\\\a_n = 10-4n+4\\\\\underline{a_n=-4n+14}

8)

-3, -10, -17, -24, ...

-10-(-3) = -7; -17-(-10) = -7; -24-(-17) = -7

The difference between one term and the next is a constant so it is arithmetic sequence

first term:  a = -3

difference:  d = -7

so the formula:

                         a_n=a+d(n-1)\\\\a_n=-3+(-7)(n-1)\\\\a_n =-3-4n+7\\\\\underline{a_n=-7n+4}

9)

7, 8.5, 10, 11.5, ...

8.5-7 = 1.5; 10-8.5 = 1.5; 11.5-10 = 1.5

The difference between one term and the next is a constant so it is arithmetic sequence

first term:  a = 7

difference:  d = 1.5

so the formula:

                         a_n=a+d(n-1)\\\\a_n=7+1.5(n-1)\\\\a_n =7+1.5n-1.5\\\\\underline{a_n=1.5n+5.5}

10)

30, 22¹/₂, 15, 7¹/₂, ...

22¹/₂-30 = -7¹/₂;   15-22¹/₂ = -7¹/₂;   7¹/₂-15 = -7¹/₂

The difference between one term and the next is a constant so it is arithmetic sequence

first term:  a = 30

difference:  d = -7¹/₂

so the formula:

                         a_n=a+d(n-1)\\\\a_n=30+(-7\frac12)(n-1)\\\\a_n =30-7\frac12n+7\frac12\\\\ \underline{a_n=-7\frac12n+37\frac12}
