Diego and Anya live 72 miles apart. They both meet at
their favorite restaurant, which is (16x – 3) miles from
Diego's house and (5x + 2) miles from Anya's house.
Diego argues that in a straight line distance, the restaurant
is halfway between his house and Anya's house. Is Diego
right? Justify your reasoning.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The restaurant is not at half way

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Total\ Distance = 72[/tex]

[tex]Diego = 16x - 3[/tex]

[tex]Anya = 5x + 2[/tex]

Required

Accept or reject Diego's claim

To do that, we need to determine the value of x by:

Diego + Anya =Total Distance

Substitute values for each parameter

[tex]16x - 3 + 5x + 2 = 72[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]16x + 5x = 72 + 3 - 2[/tex]

[tex]21x = 73[/tex]

Divide both sides by 21

[tex]x = \frac{73}{21}[/tex]

Substitute the value of x in Diego and Anya's distance

[tex]Diego = 16x - 3[/tex]

[tex]Diego = 16 * \frac{73}{21} - 3[/tex]

[tex]Diego = \frac{1168}{21} - 3[/tex]

[tex]Diego = \frac{1168 - 63}{21}[/tex]

[tex]Diego = \frac{1105}{21}[/tex]

[tex]Diego = 52\frac{13}{21}[/tex]

[tex]Anya = 5x + 2[/tex]

[tex]Anya = 5 * \frac{73}{21} + 2[/tex]

[tex]Anya = \frac{365}{21} + 2[/tex]

[tex]Anya = \frac{365 + 42}{21}[/tex]

[tex]Anya = \frac{407}{21}[/tex]

[tex]Anya = 19\frac{8}{21}[/tex]

Since, both distances are not equal,

Then Diego's claim is false and incorrect

Which refers to the rate of change in velocity?

Answers

Answer:

acceleration refers to the rate of change in velocity

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. Velocity is a vector, which means it contains a magnitude (a numerical value) and a direction. So the velocity can be changed either by changing the speed or by changing the direction of motion (or both).

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the point ( 2 , 3 ) and is perpendicular to the line − 5 x + 4 y = − 3 .

The slope of a line in standard equation will be [tex]\frac{-A}{B}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{5}{4}[/tex]

The slope of a perpendicular line to this line will be opposite and reciprocal.

[tex]m=-\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

Then, we can plug in the point given to get the [tex]b[/tex] value.

What is (6x10^6)(4x10^-1) ?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the 6 and 4 together. 6*4 = 24

The next part is a bit tricky. Add the powers on the base 10. Keep the base 10.

10^(6 - 1) = 10^5

Now put the two parts together. 24 * 10^5

The number in front of the 10 must be between 1 and 10.

So 24 can be written as 24 = 2.4 * 10^1

2.4 * 10^1 * 10^5 = 2.4 * 10^(5 + 1) = 2.4 * 10^6

Answers

Answer:

2 bones and 25 pounds of dog food would cost $22.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Since cos(x) is the derivative of sin(x), then integral 16 sin^2(x) cos(x) dx can be done by substituting u = sin (x) sin (x) and du = cos (x) cos (x)^dx. With the substitution u = sin(x), we get integral 16 sin^2 (x) cos(x) dx = 16 integral u^2 du. which integrates to + C. Substituting back in to get the answer in terms of sin(x), we have integral 16 sin^2 (x) cos (x) dx = + C.

Find the integral of  [tex]f(x) =  16sin^2 (x ) cos(x) dx[/tex]

The solution is    [tex]\frac{16}{3} sin^{3}x + c[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

So

   [tex]Let \  u  =  sin(x)[/tex]

=>  [tex]\frac{du}{dx}  =  cos (x)[/tex]

=>   [tex]du  =  cos(x)dx[/tex]

So

   [tex]\int\limits {16sin^2 (x ) cos(x) dx} \, \equiv \int\limits {16u^2  du}[/tex]

=>  [tex]\int\limits {16u^2  du} = 16 [\frac{u^3}{3} ] + c[/tex]

Now substituting sin(x) for u  

      [tex]\frac{16}{3} u^3 + c  =  \frac{16}{3} sin^{3}x + c[/tex]

So the  integral of  [tex]f(x) =  16sin^2 (x ) cos(x) dx[/tex]  is

58 POINTS!!! The line contains the point (8,2) and is parallel to a line with a slope of -2/3 The equation of the line is

Answers

Answer:

The answer is

[tex]y = - \frac{2}{3} x + \frac{22}{3} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

Since the lines are parallel their slope are also the same

So the slope of parallel line = - 2/3

So the equation of the line containing the point (8 , 2) and slope - 2/3 is

[tex]y - 2 = - \frac{2}{3} (x - 8) \\ y - 2 = - \frac{ 2}{3} x + \frac{16}{3} \\ y = - \frac{2}{3} x + \frac{16}{3} + 2[/tex]

We have the final answer as

[tex]y = - \frac{2}{3} x + \frac{22}{3} [/tex]

Hope this helps you

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

Parallel lines have the same slope, so the slope is -2/3.

We can solve using point slope form.

y - 2 = -2/3(x - 8)

y - 2 = -2/3x + 16/3

y = -2/3x + 22/3
