Calculating x=3 and x=5, we get f(x)=10 and 4 respectively by plugging the numbers into the equation. Finding the difference and dividing by 2 (since there are 2 seconds between 3 and 5), we get 3, so the answer is either A or C. Since it doesn't only fall 3 feet, we need to specify that it is 3 feet per second, A is right!
Answer:
132ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Mathius Distance = 3/8 mile
Eva Distance = 2/5 mile
1 mile = 5,280ft
1. Start by multiplying the mile distance of Mathius to the distance of 1 mile in feet.
5,280ft x 3/8 = 15840ft/8 = 1980ft
2. Do the same thing as number 1 but for Eva's distance now.
5,280ft x 2/5 = 10560ft/5 = 2112ft
3. Subtract Eva's Distance from Mathius' Distance for the answer.
2112ft (Eva) - 1980ft (Mathius) = <em>132ft</em>
