<h2>Answer:</h2>

Ques 1)

After 11 hours, the cruise ship will be 244.25 nautical miles from the lighthouse.

Ques 2)

At the start of the journey, the cruise ship was 10.5 nautical miles from the lighthouse.

Ques 3)

The cruise ship is traveling at a speed of 21.25 nautical miles per hour.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We are given a table that represents the number of hours and distance from the Lighthouse as:

Time (in hours) Distance from Lighthouse

(nautical miles)

2 53

4 95.5

6 138

10 223

12 265.5

As the speed is uniform hence, we can find the equation that represents the distance in term of the number of hours.

( As the speed is uniform hence, we get a constant slope i.e. we get a equation of a line)

As we know that the equation of a line passing through two points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by:

$y-b=\dfrac{d-b}{b-a}\times (x-a)$

Let (a,b)=(2,53) and (c,d)=(4,95.5)

where y denote the distance from lighthouse and x denotes the number of hours.

Hence, the equation of line is:

$y-53=\dfrac{95.5-53}{4-2}\times (x-2)\\\\\\y-53=21.25(x-2)\\\\y-53=21.25x-42.5\\\\y=21.25-42.5+53\\\\y=21.25x+10.5$

Now when x=11 we have:

$y=21.25\times 11+10.5\\\\\\y=244.25$

Hence,

After 11 hours, the cruise ship will be 244.25 nautical miles from the lighthouse.

Now when x=0 we have:

$y=21.25\times 0+10.5\\\\\\y=10.5$

Hence,

At the start of the journey, the cruise ship was 10.5 nautical miles from the lighthouse.

Now the speed of the cruise ship is equal to the slope of the equation.

We have slope=21.25

Hence,

The cruise ship is traveling at a speed of 21.25 nautical miles per hour.

The solutions to a quadratic equation are x = 2 and x = 7. If k is a nonzero constant, which of the following must be equal to t

Serggg [28]

ANSWER

The correct option is,
$k(x - 2)(x - 7) = 0$

EXPLANATION

We were given that the solutions of the quadratic equation are
$x = 2$
and
$x = 7.$

This tells us that,

$x - 2$

and
$x - 7$

are factors of the quadratic equation.

This implies that the quadratic equation is of the form,

$(x - 2)(x - 7) = 0$

We were also told that

$k$

is a non zero constant.

This means that we can use k to multiply the whole equation and the solution will not be affected.

Our equation now becomes,

$k(x - 2)(x - 7) = 0$

Hence the correct answer is A.

olga_2 [115]

From the information given,

3 pounds = $18

Therefore, 1 pound = 18/3 = $6 (this can be treated as a constant of proportionality) such that,

Cost,C = 6*Weight, W (pounds)

Equation;

C = 6W, where C = Cost in $, and W = Weight in pounds.
