Answer:

Distance between the police station and the fire station be 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let distance between the police station and the fire station be x miles.

The distance between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police station and the fire station.

Distance between the library and the police station =2x-3

Also, distance between the library and the police station is 5 miles.

2x-3=5\\2x=3+5\\2x=8\\x=\frac{8}{2}\\ x=4\,\,miles

Segment AB falls on line 2x − 4y = 8. Segment CD falls on line 4x + 2y = 8. What is true about segments AB and CD? They are perp
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

They are perpendicular because they have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of −2 and one half.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because x = -2 and half of -2 is 1

when we use CD line and x2 we find 8x+4y=16 when added to 2x -4y=8 would equal 10x+4y = 2 1/2 xy = 16

When we use for AB line we see they are perpendicular 2 1/2 x 2 = 5 -4y = 8 shows y to be -2 and the 1/2 line leaves -2 1/2 and x also is 2 1/2.

The linear function m=55-8.5b represents the amount m (in dollars) of money that you have after buying b books. Find the domain
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The domain is (-∞ , ∞)

The domain is continuous

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to identify the domain of the linear function

The domain in this case can be represented by the set of all real numbers.

When we talk of the domain of a function, we are simply referring to the the range of values between the smallest value on the x-axis and the largest number on the x-axis

Hence, mathematically, we are simply considering the smallest value of b up to the largest value of b in this case. Where b simply represents the number of books

Thus, the domain here will be (-∞ , ∞)

On if the domain is discrete or continuous, we can see that the domain is continuous.

The domain is continuous simply because, the domain we have contains all the values and not some in the set of real numbers. If it had contain only some, then it would have been discrete. But since it contains all, it is continuous

Joseph's lunch at a restaurant costs $13.00 without tax. He leaves the waiter a tip of 17% of the cost of the lunch, without tax
ryzh [129]

Answer:

The total cost of the lunch including the tip is $15.21.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total cost of the lunch including the tip, first, you need to calculate 17% of the price of the lunch as the statement indicates that that is the tip Joseph leaves the waiter:

$13*17%=$2.21

Now, you need to add that amount to the price of the lunch:

$13+$2.21=$15.21

According to this, the answer is that the total cost of the lunch including the tip is $15.21.
