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

PLEASE HELP!!! I'LL GIVE YOU BRAINLIEST!
Andru [333]
(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = (y - d)^2 

<span>x^2 - 2ax + a^2 + y^2 - 2by + b^2 = y^2 - 2dy + d^2 </span>

<span>Subtract y^2 from both sides... </span>

<span>x^2 - 2ax + a^2 - 2by + b^2 = -2dy + d^2 </span>

<span>Now I would just substitute in the the values (a = -4, b = 17/8, d = 15/8)... </span>

<span>x^2 - 2(-4)x + (-4)^2 - 2(17/8)y + (17/8)^2 = -2(15/8)y + (15/8)^2 </span>

<span>Simplify... </span>

<span>x^2 + 8x + 16 - (17/4)y + 289/64 = -(15/4)y + 225/64 </span>

<span>Add (17/4)y to both sides... </span>

<span>x^2 + 8x + 16 + 289/64 = (2/4)y + 225/64 </span>

<span>x^2 + 8x + 16 + 289/64 = (1/2)y + 225/64 </span>

<span>Subtract 225/64 from both sides... </span>

<span>x^2 + 8x + 16 + 1 = (1/2)y </span>

<span>x^2 + 8x + 17 = (1/2)y </span>

<span>Multiply both sides by 2... </span>

<span>2x^2 + 16x + 34 = y </span>

<span>...which is equal to equation D.</span>
