Envision this as a right triangle, with one leg of 12 miles, and the other 16 miles. Solve using the Pythagorean Theorem a²+b²=c²:

12²+16²=c²
400 = c²
20=c...they live at least 20 miles from each other.

Sal's Sandwich Shop sells wraps and sandwiches as part of its lunch specials. The profit on every sandwich is $2 and the profit
Ann [662]
Let
x--------> <span>the number of sandwich lunch specials sold
y-------> </span><span>the number of wrap lunch specials sold

we know that
2x+3y=1470

Part 1) </span><span>Change the equation to slope-intercept form. Identify the slope and y-intercept of the equation. Be sure to show all your work.

we know that
</span>the equation to slope-intercept form is of the form
y=mx+b
so
2x+3y=1470------> solve for y
3y=1470-2x-----> divide by 3 both sides
y=(-2/3)x+1470/3
y=(-2/3)x+490

the slope m=-2/3
the y-intercept is 490


Part 2) <span>Describe how you would graph this line using the slope-intercept method. Be sure to write using complete sentences.

</span><span>the slope is -2/3  and the y-intercept is 490

Plot the point (0,490)------>  the y-intercept.
With the slope count 3 squares to the right and 2 squares down and plot that point, which is (0+3,490-2)--------> (3,488)
Draw a line through the two points  

Part 3) </span><span>Write the equation in function notation. Explain what the graph of the function represents. Be sure to use complete sentences.

In function notation, the equation is:
f(x)=(-2/3)x+490
The graph of this function represents how the value of the function varies as the value of x varies. Looking back at the question context, this graph specifically represents how many wraps could have been sold at each number of sandwich sales, in order to maintain the same profit of $1470.</span><span>

Part 4) </span>Graph the function. On the graph, make sure to label the intercepts. You may graph your equation by hand on a piece of paper and scan your work or you may use graphing technology

using a graph tool
see the attached figure

Part 5) Suppose Sal's total profit on lunch specials for the next month is $1,593. The profit amounts are the same: $2 for each sandwich and $3 for each wrap. In a paragraph of at least three complete sentences, explain how the graphs of the functions for the two months are similar and how they are different

we have that
2x+3y=1593
3y=1593-2x--------> y=(-2/3)x+531
slope=(-2/3)
y intercept=531
therefore
similarities : same slope
differences : y intercepts are different.
<span>This is basically telling me that the lines are parallel lines because they have the same slope.
</span>
6) Below is a graph that represents the total profits for a third month. Write the equation of the line that represents this graph. Show your work or explain how you determined the equations

Select two points on the line and write down their coordinates

Let
 A( 0,300)  B (450,0)
a) find the slope
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)----> m=(0-300)/(450-0)----> m=-2/3
b) with the slope m=(-2/3) and the point A (0,300)
y-y1=m*(x-x1)-----> y-300=(-2/3)*(x-0)----> y=(-2/3)x+300

the answer Part 6) is
y=(-2/3)x+300

An airplane is flying at a speed of 500 mi/h at an altitude of one mile. The plane passes directly above a radar station at time
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

a)s=\sqrt{1+d^2}

b)d(t)=500t

c)s(t) =\sqrt{1+250000t^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

d = Horizontal distance

s = the distance between the plane and the radar station

The horizontal distance (d), the one mile altitude, and s form a right triangle.

So, use Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse^2=Perpendicular^2+Base^2

s^2=1^2+d^2

a) s=\sqrt{1+d^2}

(b) Express d as a function of the time t (in hours) that the plane has flown.

distance = speed \times time

d(t)=500t

(c) Use composition to express s as a function of t.

s(t) =\sqrt{1+d^2}

using b

s(t) =\sqrt{1+(500t)^2}\\s(t) =\sqrt{1+250000t^2}

What is 1 4/7 as a improper fraction
Serhud [2]

Hello there,

To write an improper fraction you will have to divide whole number by denominator than add the numerator...

A started some business with RS 26,000. After 3 month B joined him with Rs. 16,000. After some more time C joined them with Rs.
viktelen [127]

Answer:

3  months

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>A:</u></h2>

We know that the total investment period is 1 year, then since A started, A invested Rs 26,000.

<u>Now, since A has been working for 12 months, this is where the effective investment comes in:</u>

A effective investment = Rs 312,000

<h2><u>B:</u></h2>

<u>Then after 3 months, B joined, so:</u>

12 months - 3 months = 9 months in work

B overall invested = Rs 16,000

<u>Since B only worked nine months, we use that to find effective investment:</u>

B effective investment = Rs 144,000

<h2>C:</h2>

<u>C joined x months since B joined in:</u>

<u>We don't know how much C worked for, but we know that C joined after B:</u>

C investment period = 9 months - x certain amount of months

We know that C's investment is Rs 25,000

<u>Find effective investment:</u>

<u>Rs 25,000 * ( 9 - x ) = Rs 225,000 - 25,000x then to find the total investment:</u>

<u></u>

<u>Add all effective investment:</u>

Rs 312,000 + Rs 144,000 + Rs 225,000 - 25,000x

= Rs 681000 - 25,000x

We now know that C's investment is 225,000 - 25,000x

<u>Find profit share:</u> 225,000 - 25,000x

==> Rs 3,825

<u>The total profit:</u>

Rs 15,453

<u>To get our final answer, we must do this operation:</u>

<u>C investment divided by Total Investment = C's profit and total profit:</u>

( Rs 225,000 - 25,000x) ÷ ( Rs 681,000 - 25,000x ) = Rs 3,825 / Rs 15,453

25 ( Rs 9,000 - 1,000x)/(Rs 681,000 - 25,000x)  = (153 * 25) /(153 * 101)

( Rs 9,000 - 1,000x ) ÷ ( Rs 681,000 - 25,000x ) = 1 / 101

Rs 909,000 - 101,000x = Rs 681,000 - 25,000x

Rs 228,000 = 76,000x

Rs 228 = 76x

x = 3
