2x + 2x +2 are the integers
4x^2 + 4x^2 +8x +4 =884 (The sum of the integers squared)
8 x^2 +8x -880 = 0
x = 10
Therefore, the integers are:
20 and 22
15.6 in 13 minutes? are you asking how it got to 15.6 in 13 minutes?
To get the points at which the two boats meet we need to find the equations that model their movement:
Boat A:
vertex form of the equation is given by:
f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k
where:
(h,k) is the vertex, thus plugging our values we shall have:
f(x)=a(x-0)^2+5
f(x)=ax^2+5
when x=-10, y=0 thus
0=100a+5
a=-1/20
thus the equation is:
f(x)=-1/20x^2+5
Boat B
slope=(4-0)/(10+10)=4/20=1/5
thus the equation is:
1/5(x-10)=y-4
y=1/5x+2
thus the points where they met will be at:
1/5x+2=-1/20x^2+5
solving for x we get:
x=-10 or x=6
when x=-10, y=0
when x=6, y=3.2
Answer is (6,3.2)
The correct answer is choice D. If you put choice D into words, it is saying 30% (0.3) of the total is 12 minutes.
To solve this, use inverse operations.
<span><u>0.3m</u> = <u>12</u>
</span>0.3 0.3
m = 40
It will take Beck 40 minutes.
