Let:
x = hours of travel
y = velocity
slope= rise/run slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(x1,y1) = (2,50) (x2,y2) = (6,54)
sub values back into the equation m = (54-50)/(6-2) m = 1
POINT SLOPE FORMy-y1 = m(x-x1) y-50= 1(x-2) y = x -2 +50
y = x + 48
B)
the graph within the first seven hours can be obtained at point B
x = 7
y = 7+48 = 55
B(7,55)
A product is the answer that you get when you multiply numbers together. So for this problem, you have 2 groups to multiply together. Since I cannot show a square or cubed x, I will put an x2 for x squared and an x3 for x cubed. You have to multiply each number in the first parentheses by each number in the second parentheses. Then combine any like sets.
(8x-3)(x2-4x+8)
8x3-32x2+64x-6x+12x-24
8x3-32x2+70x-24
So the answer is 8x cubed minus 32x squared plus 70x minus 24. Whew! That's a long one. Hope I didn't miss anything.
