First, we need to find how far ahead Marshall was.  Since he had been biking at 20 mph for one hour, he had gone 20 miles.

Next, we need to find how long it will take Brett to catch up to Marshall.  In order to do this, we need to find how much faster Brett is going than Marshall.  We do this by subtracting Marshall's speed from Brett's speed.

60 - 20 = 40.  So, Brett is catching up to Marshall at 40 mph.  Now, we figure out how long it will take for someone going 40 miles per hour to go 20 miles.  We find this by dividing 40 miles per hour by 20.  This is equal to 1/2 hour.  So, it will take Brett 0.5 hours to catch up to Marshall.  This is the same as A, so A is the correct answer.

We can check our answer by seeing how far Marshall and Brett will have gone.  Marshall will have been biking for 1.5 hours, so we multiply 20 * 1.5 = 30.  Marshall went 30 miles.

Brett drove for .5 hours at 60 mph, so he went 30 miles.  Since Brett and Marshall went the same distance, our answer is correct.

A dolphin is 42 feet underwater and ascends at a constant rate for 14 seconds until it reaches the surface. Identify and interpr
Cloud [144]
Ok so, based on the graph lets say that x = seconds and  y = depth of dolphin. the interception in both points is when they are at 0 i.e when x is equals 0 and y equals 0. So At 0 seconds, the dolphin is 42 feet below the surface. So we say that x = 0, y = -42 and then the y intercepts = -42 so the point of interception is(0 (seconds),-42(depth of the dolphin)) When the clock says it's 14 seconds, the dolphin is even with the surface (0 below the surface this time). So we say that x = 14, y = 0. In this case The x intercept = 14 (14,0). But we need to calculate The slope with the formula= (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = 42/14 = 3. Therefore, the formula for this line is y = 3x - 42.

All computers are on sale for 10% off the original price. If x is the original price of the computer, then the function that rep
prohojiy [21]
So the original price is "x".

the discounted price by 10% is P(x) = 0.9x.

the price minus a $150 coupon is C(x) = x - 150.

so, if you go to the store, the item is discounted by 10%, so you're really only getting out of your pocket 90% of that, or 0.9x, but!!! wait a minute!! you have a $150 coupon, and you can use that for the purchase, so you're really only getting out of  your pocket 0.9x - 150, namely the discounted by 10% and then the saving from the coupon.

C(   P(x)   ) = P(x) - 150

C(   P(x)   ) = 0.9x - 150
