Explanation:</h2><h2 />
In this exercise, we know some facts:
- Lin read for x minutes.
- Elena read for more than that.
The problem tells us nothing about the number of minutes Elena read more than Lin. However, let's say Elena read one-third more than the number of minutes Lin read. Therefore:
<u>For Lin:</u>
<u>For Elena:</u>
Answer:
The rational function that is graphed is B
When you think about it. It's actually quite easy.
The number are the amount of miles, and the variables are the amount of hours. So we would just have to multiply them. So, by putting the number together we would be able to multiply them once we have the numbers for the variables. Since we dont have them, we can just make the inequality. It says that car 1 traveled at LEAST that of car 2. Showing that car 1 may have traveled farther. SOOOOO........ the inequality should look like this:
165x <span>≥ 175y</span>
NOTE THIS IS AN EXAMPLE:
Let t = time, s = ostrich, and g = giraffe.
Here's what we know:
s = g + 5 (an ostrich is 5 mph faster than a giraffe)
st = 7 (in a certain amount of time, an ostrich runs 7 miles)
gt = 6 (in the same time, a giraffe runs 6 miles)
We have a value for s, so plug it into the first equation:
(g + 5)t = 7
gt = 6
Isolate g so that we can plug that variable value into the equation:
g = 6/t
so that gives us:
(6/t + 5)t = 7
Distribute:
6 + 5t = 7
Subtract 6:
5t = 1
Divide by 5:
t = 1/5 of an hour (or 12 minutes)
Now that we have a value for time, we can plug them into our equations:
1/5 g = 6
multiply by 5:
g = 30 mph
s = 30 + 5
s = 35 mph
Check by imputing into the second equation:
st = 7
35 * 1/5 = 7
7 = 7
