 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)

Which statements are true about the graph of y s 3x + 1 and y 2 -x + 2? Check all that apply.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Let's go through all the options one at a time and look for the correct ones

<u>Option 1: The slope of one boundary line is 2</u>

We have 2 equations of lines, where the coefficients of are 3 and -1 respectively

because the coefficient of x denotes the slope of a line, we know that the lines have the slope 3 and -1, not 2

Hence, this option is Incorrect

<u>Option 2: Both boundary lines are solid</u>

In order for the boundary lines to be solid, the inequality must have an 'equal to', like ≤ (less than or equal to) or ≥ (greater than or equal to)

we can see that that's the case in our case and hence, this option is Correct

<u>Option 3: A solution to the system is (1, 3)</u>

To confirm this, we'll plug these coordinates into the given inequalities and see if it stands correct

y ≤ 3x + 1

3 ≤ 3(1) + 1

3 ≤ 4 which is correct because 3 is less than 4

Second equation:

y ≥ 2 - x

3 ≥ 2 - 1

3 ≥ 1

Which is also true because 3 is greater than 1

Now, we can say that (1 , 3) is a solution to the system because it satisfies both the equations and is Correct

<u>Option 4: Both inequalities are shaded below the boundary lines</u>

For an inequality to be shaded below the boundary line, it must have the ≤ inequality (in case of solid line) and < inequality (in case of dotted line)

because the second inequality listed includes the ≥ inequality, which was not mentioned above, it won't be shaded below

another way to think about it is that any 'greater than' inequality will shade everything above the line and the 'lesser than' inequality will shade below the line

which means that this option is Incorrect

<u>Option 5: The boundary lines intersect</u>

In order for the boundary lines to intersect, they must have have different slopes.

as we mentioned in the explanation of the first option, that the slopes of the lines is 3 and -1, which are different slopes

Therefore, this option is Correct

The national average for mathematics SATs in 2011 was 514 and the standard deviation was approximately 40. a) Within what bounda
blondinia [14]

Answer:

0.75 = 1-\frac{1}{k^2}

If we solve for k we can do this:

\frac{1}{k^2}= 1-0.75=0.25

\frac{1}{0.25}= k^2

k^2 =4

k =\pm 2

So then we have at last 75% of the data withitn two deviations from the mean so the limits are:

Lower = \mu -2\sigma = 514- 2*40=434

Upper = \mu +2\sigma = 514 + 2*40=594

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know the distribution for the scores. But we know the following properties:

\mu = 514 , \sigma =40

For this case we can use the Chebysev theorem who states that "At least 1 -\frac{1}{k^2} of the values lies between \mu -k\sigma and \mu +k\sigma"

And we need the boundaries on which we expect at least 75% of the scores. If we use the Chebysev rule we have this:

0.75 = 1-\frac{1}{k^2}

If we solve for k we can do this:

\frac{1}{k^2}= 1-0.75=0.25

\frac{1}{0.25}= k^2

k^2 =4

k =\pm 2

So then we have at last 75% of the data withitn two deviations from the mean so the limits are:

Lower = \mu -2\sigma = 514- 2*40=434

Upper = \mu +2\sigma = 514 + 2*40=594

xxTIMURxx [149]

Question is Incomplete. Complete question is given below;

Maggie brought $10 to the candy store. She will buy a certain amount of fudge. One pound of fudge costs $2.30.  If p represents the amount of fudge, in pounds, Maggie buys, which expression represents the money Maggie has left after visiting the candy store?

Answer:

The expression that represent the money Maggie has left after visiting the candy store is (10-2.3p)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Money Maggie brought at store = $10

Cost of 1 pound of fudge = $2.30

Let the amount of fudge be p

We need to find the amount of Money Maggie has left with after visiting the store.

The amount of Money Maggie has left with can be calculate by subtracting the amount of fudge she bought multiplied by Cost of 1 pound of fudge with Money Maggie brought at store.

The equation can be framed as;

Money left = 10-2.3p

Hence, The expression that represent the money Maggie has left after visiting the candy store is (10-2.3p)

Lenmana started studying how the number of branches on her tree grows over time. The number of branches increases by a factor of
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

N(t) = 48 * 11/6^{\frac{t}{3.5} }

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for <u>exponential growth</u> is y = ab^x.

To write this equation, we know it has to start with 48 (which is the variable a). We need to add the rate of growth. This is 11/6 (which is variable b). But we also need to account for the "every 3.5 years" part, so divide the x as an exponent by 3.5.

N(t) = 48 * 11/6^(t/3.5)

This equation is easy to test, and it's a good idea to test it after you write it. For example, after 3.5 years we know that it should have 48*11/6 branches. Does our equation work? Yes.
