Concept explainers

Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

A yacht is travelling on a course parallel to and 80 kilometers from the straight shoreline of Palawan. Two transmitting stations are located 180 kilometers apart on the shoreline. By timing radio signals from stations, the yacht's navigator determines that the yacht is between the two stations and 60 kilometers closer to station A than to station B. Find the distance from the yacht to each station.
In a certain city, the cost of a taxi ride is.computed as follows. There is a fixed charge of $2.75 as soon as you get in the taxi, to which a charge of $2.30 per mile is added. Find an equation that can be used to determine the cost, C, of an x-mile taxi ride. OA. C=5.05x OB. C 2.75 +2.30x OC. C=2.30 +2.75x OD. C=3.55x
The captain of a fishing boat needs to travel 25 miles on his boat. If the captain goes the same direction the current is flowing, his trip would be 3 hours long, but it would be 4 hours long if he goes the opposite direction of the current. Let x represent the rate of the boat if there were no current, and let y represent the rate of the current. Recalling that distance equals rate multiplied by time, what is an equation that describes the situation when the boat is traveling the same direction as the current is flowing? O 25 = (x + y)3 25 = (x – y)4 25 = (x + y)4 %3D 3 = (х — у)25 О 25 %3D (х — у)3
