An island is 1 mi due north of its closest point along a straight shoreline. A visitor is staying at a cabin on the shore that is 15 mi west of that point. The visitor is planning to go from the cabin to the island. Suppose the visitor runs at a rate of 6 mph and swims at a rate of 2.5 mph. How far should the visitor run before swimming to minimize the time it takes to reach the island

go on the tube you might find some information there

d

step-by-step explanation:

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

step-by-step explanation:

df =

both have same length
