In a snail race, the winning snail traveled 5.85 cm in 3/4 of a minute. How fast was the snail traveling per second?
1 answer:
Answer:
0.13 cm per second
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets convert the minutes to seconds:
3/4 minutes = 3/4(60) = 45 seconds
The snail traveled 5.85 cm in 45 seconds
To find out the speed per second, we set up a proportion:
where 45 and 1 represent the number of seconds, and 5.85 and x represent the distance in that set of time
Let's solve for x, or the distance in 1 second:
The snail travels 0.13 cm per second.

The graph of the parent function is well -known (see attached diagram for details, green curve).
Make such transformations:
- translate graph of parent function
3 units to the left (violet curve), then you obtain the function
- compress function
in the x-direction by multiplying x by 3 (black curve), then you get the function
- reflect the function
across the line
(red curve). You get the function
- translate the function
1 unit down (blue curve) to get the function
