a.

Lauren was 10 miles away from her house when he started.

Since the expression for Lauren's distance from her house, d = -2t + 10, to determine the number of miles away from his house that Lauren starts, we input t = 0, since this is the time Lauren starts walking.

So, with t = 0, d = -2t + 10

= -2(0) + 10

= 0 + 10

= 10 miles.

So, Lauren was 10 miles away from her house when he started.

b.

Lauren was moving at a rate of -2 mph towards her house.

To find how fast Lauren was moving towards her house, we differentiate d with respect to t.

So, dd/dt = d(-2t + 10)/dt

= d(-2t)/dt + d(10)/dt

= -2 + 0

= -2 mph

So, Lauren was moving at a rate of -2 mph towards her house.

c.

The rate is negative because her distance towards her house is decreasing

The rate is negative because her distance towards her house is decreasing since she is moving towards her house.

d.

Lauren is 2 miles away from her house after 4 hours

To find this, we input t = 4 into the equation for d.

So, d = -2t + 10

= -2(4) + 10

= -8 + 10

= 2 miles.

So, Lauren is 2 miles away from her house after 4 hours

4 − (x + 2) < −3(x + 4)
exis [7]

Answer:

x<−7

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an inequality, so you treat as a equation, but when you multiply or divide by a negative number, you flip the inequality.

1. Use distributive property

-x+2<-3x-12

2. Add 3x to both sides.

2x+2<−12

3. -2 from both sides

2x<−14

4. Divide by 2

x<−7

What is converse inverse and contrapostive?
Rufina [12.5K]

<span>rhythm of the falling rain answered 6 year<span>Given an if-then statement "if p, then q", we can create three related statements: 


A conditional statement consists of two parts, a hypothesis in the “if” clause and a conclusion in the “then” clause. 

For instance, “If it rains, then they will cancel school.” 
“It rains, “is the hypothesis. 
“They will cancel school,” is the conclusion. 

To form the converse of the conditional statement, interchange the hypothesis and the conclusion. 

The converse of “If it rains, then they will cancel school.” is 
“If they cancel school, then it rains.” 

To form the inverse of the conditional statement, take the negation of both the hypothesis and the conclusion. 

The inverse of “If it rains, then they will cancel school” is “If it does not rain, then they do not cancel school.” 

To form the contrapositive of the conditional statement, interchange the hypothesis and the conclusion of the inverse statement. 

The contrapositive of “If it rains, then they will cancel school” is “If they do not cancel school, then it does not rain.” 

Summary: 
Statement If p, then q. 
Converse If q, then p. 
Inverse If not p, then not q. 
Contrapositive If not q, then not p. 

If the statement is true, then the contrapositive is also logically true. If the converse is true, then the inverse is also logically true. 

Example: 
Statement If a person is 18 years old, then he is a legal adult. 
Converse If a person is a legal adult, then he is 18 years old. 
Inverse If a person is not 18 years old, then he is not a legal adult. 
Contrapositive If a person is not a legal adult, then he is not 18 years old.</span></span>

What are the first terms of the sequence
allsm [11]

Answer:

First five terms are:

4300, 4240, 4180, 4120, 4060

Step-by-step explanation:

Minus 60 from the predicted number of cars in the first month to get the second month, then do the same for the predicted number of cars in the second month to get the third month and so on.

The expression for the nth term would be = 4300 - (n-1)(60)

= 4360 - 60n
