B is called "the vertical intercept" and is the value of y when x = 0. Something like an initial value!

A nature center offers 2 guided walks. The morning walk is two-third mile. The evening walk is three-sixths mile. Which walk is

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Evening walk is shorter.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a nature center offers 2 guided walks. The morning walk is two-third mile. The evening walk is three-sixths mile. We are asked to find the shorter walk.

Let us compare both fractions by making the same denominator.

$\text{Two-thirds}=\frac{2}{3}$

$\text{Two-thirds}=\frac{2\times2}{3\times2}$

$\text{Two-thirds}=\frac{4}{6}$

$\text{Three-sixth}=\frac{3}{6}$

Upon making common denominator, we can see that two-thirds are equal to four sixths.

Since three-sixths is less than four-sixths, therefore, evening walk is shorter.

We will draw two rectangles, one with 6 sub-parts and other with three sub-parts.

We will shade 2 parts out of 3 sub-parts to represent 2/3 and shade 3 parts out of 6 sub-parts to represent 3/6.

Then we will further divide three sub-parts into 6 sub-parts as shown in the diagram that will represent 4/6.

2*cosx*(2x+30°) + √3=0

MAXImum [283]

Answer: x ≈ 1.59688927, −1.60312387, −4.67045686, 4.69039614, 7.872914, −7.91513776, −10.89002194

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.

Simplify 2*cosx*(2x+30°) + √3=0

Simplify each term.

Apply the distributive property.

2 cos ( x ) ( 2 x ) + 2 cos ( x ) * 30 ° + √ 3 = 0
Multiply 2 by 2
4 cos ( x ) x + 2 cos ( x ) *30 ° + √ 3 = 0
Multiply 30 °by 2
4 cos ( x ) x + 60 cos ( x ) + √ 3 = 0
Reorder factors in 4 cos ( x ) x + 60 cos ( x ) + √3
4xcos(x)+60cos(x)+√3=0
Graph each side of the equation. The solution is the x-value of the point of intersection. x ≈ 1.59688927 , − 1.60312387 , − 4.67045686 , 4.69039614 , 7.872914 , − 7.91513776 , − 10.89002194
