 A hiker is walking down a mountain. She walked​ 5,978 feet in 17 minutes. In that​ time, she descended​ 1,024 feet from the top

of the mountain. She then walked​ 3,972 feet in 7 minutes. In that​ time, she descended 500 more feet. Express the average rate of change in altitude of the hiker from her starting point to her ending point as a unit rate.

First walk=descend of 1024 feet in 17 minutes
second walk=descend of 500 feet in 7 minutes

so in total she descended 1024+500=1524 feet in 7+17=24 minutes
as an average rate this equals 1524/24=63.5 feet/minute descended
or an average rate of -63.5 feet/minute in altitude (note the minus)

inna [77]
In this item, we let x be the number of corns and Y represent soybeans. The sum of these variables is 400. This is represented by the equation,
                                             x + y = 400
The amount that needs to be earn by Tony is then represented by,

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

a) About 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the interest rate required to achieve her goal, so we will need to use the interest-compound formula:

FV=PV(1+i)^{n}

Where:

PV= Present Value

i= interest rate

FV= Future Value

n= number of periods

replacing the data provided:

150.000=50.000(1+i)^{10}

solving for i:

first, divide both sides by 50.000 to simplify the equation:

3=(1+i)^{10}

Take 10^{th} roots of both sides:

1+i=±\sqrt[10]{3}

solve for i:

i=±\sqrt[10]{3} -1

We get two answers, but we look for a coherent value. So we take the positive one:

i=11.6123174≈12
