Using linear functions, it is found that Rowan and Kennedy will have read the same number of pages in 10 minutes.

What is a linear function?

  • A linear function is modeled by:

y = ax + b

In which:

  • a is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

For Rowan, we have that:

  • He has already read 20 pages, hence the y-intercept is b = 20.
  • He reads 1.5 pages per minute, hence the slope is a = 1.5

Then:

y_R = 1.5x + 20

For Kennedy, we have that:

  • He has already read 25 pages, hence the y-intercept is b = 25.
  • He reads 1 page per minute, hence the slope is a = 1

Then:

y_K = x + 25

They will have read the same number of pages after x minutes, for which:

y_R = y_K

Then:

1.5x + 20 = x + 25

0.5x = 5

x = \frac{5}{0.5}

x = 10

Need help solving x
viva [34]

The coefficient of x in the equation is 1/(300 grams). Multiply by the reciprocal of that, which is (300 grams).

x = (300 grams)×(2 grams)/(100 grams) = (300×2/100) grams = 6 grams

_____

This is the way you solve any equation where x is multiplied by some value in the only term on one side of the equal sign.

Which of the following best describes the graph of the polynomial function below?
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

A. The graph has two zeroes.

Step-by-step explanation:

A <em>zero of a polynomial</em> is a value of x that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

In other words, it is <em>an x-intercept</em>.

The graph crosses the x-axis twice, so there are two zeroes.
