An oil company wishes to run a pipe from point a on the shore to point b on the island (see figure). the island is 5 miles from shore. it costs $1,000 per mile to run cable on land and $2,000 per mile underwater. assume that the cable starts at point a and runs along the shoreline, then angles at point d and runs underwater to the island. let the distance between a and c be 8 miles, and the distance between c and d be represented by x express the cost of laying the pipe as a function of x.

the answers are in the images, i received 100% on this assignment. hope this !

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."

the answer is d

for problems like this theres an app, its photomath that explains the problem and gives the answer hope i
