Answer:
Option C. The robin flies fastest because its rate is 15 m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> the time in seconds
y ----> the distance in meters
The speed is equal to divide the distance by the time
In this problem, the slope or unit rate of the linear equation is the same that the speed
<em>Robin's Flight</em>
<em>Find the slope</em>
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
take two points from the table
(2,30) and (3,45)
substitute in the formula

<em>Cardinal's Flight</em>


<em>Blue Jay's Flight</em>
take two points from the graph
(0,0) and (2,20)
substitute in the formula

<u>Solution-</u>
A school has 1800 students and 1800 light bulbs, each with a pull cord and all in a row.
As all the lights start out off, in the first pass all bulbs will be turned on.
In the second pass all the multiples of 2 will be off and rest will be turned on.
In the third pass all the multiples of 3 will be off, but the common multiple of 2 and 3 will be on along with the rest. i.e all the multiples of 6 will be turned on along with the rest.
In the fourth pass 4th light bulb will be turned on and so does all the multiples of 4.
But, in the sixth pass the 6th light bulb will be turned off as it was on after the third pass.
This pattern can observed that when a number has odd number of factors then only it can stay on till the last pass.
1 = 1
2 = 1, 2
3 = 1, 3
<u>4 = 1, 2, 4</u>
5 = 1, 5
6 = 1, 2, 3, 6
7 = 1, 7
8 = 1, 2, 4, 8
9 = 1, 3, 9
10 = 1, 2, 5, 10
11 = 1, 11
12 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
13 = 1, 13
14 = 1, 2, 7, 14
15 = 1, 3, 5, 15
16 = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
so on.....
The numbers who have odd number of factors are the perfect squares.
So calculating the number of perfect squares upto 1800 will give the number of light bulbs that will stay on.
As,
, so 42 perfect squared numbers are there which are less than 1800.
∴ 42 light bulbs will end up in the on position. And there position is given in the attached table.
Answer:
We do not have the equation for the part B, so we can not aswer it correctly.
But i will give a general answer.
We could have infinite answers always when we have more variables than linear independent equations:
This is, if we have one variable, x, we can have infinite solutions if we have no equations (or equations with no restrictions for our variable)
So if we have an equation like:
x*4 = √16*x
you can see that both sides of the equation are exactly the same, so this equation actually does not have any value, and x could take infinite different values and the equation will remain true.
If we have two variables, x and y, we will have infinite solutions if we have only one equation:
y = a*x + b
We have infinite pairs (x, y)
