One day, I decide to run to the park. On the way there, I run at a rate of x^2 miles per hour for 3 hours. On the way back, I ta

ke the same path and jog at a slower rate of 16 - 4x miles per hour so that it takes me 4 hours to get home. Given that x > 0, what is x? Express your answer as a common fraction.

X would be equal to 3 over 1

Answer:

8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that the distance that I traveled to the park and the distance that I traveled to get back home are the same, and that distance = rate x time, we have that

(x^2)(3)=(16-4x)(4)

3x^2=64-16x

3x^2+16x-64=0

(3x-8)(x+8)=0

Solving this equation, we get the solutions x=8/3 and x=-8. Since x must be positive, we have x=8/3.

Y=-1/3x^2-4x-5 in vertex form
grigory [225]

Answer:

Y=-\frac{1}{3}(x+6)^2+7   [Vertex form]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

Y=-\frac{1}{3}x^2-4x-5

We need to find the vertex form which is.,

y=a(x-h)^2+k

where (h,k) represents the co-ordinates of vertex.

We apply completing square method to do so.

We have  

Y=-\frac{1}{3}x^2-4x-5

First of all we make sure that the leading co-efficient is =1.

In order to make the leading co-efficient is =1, we multiply each term with -3.

-3\times Y=-3\times\frac{1}{3}x^2-(-3)\times4x-(-3)\times 5

-3Y=x^2+12x+15

Isolating x^2 and x terms on one side.

Subtracting both sides by 15.

-3Y-15=x^2+12x-15-15

-3Y-15=x^2+12x

In order to make the right side a perfect square trinomial, we will take half of the co-efficient of x term, square it and add it both sides side.  

square of half of the co-efficient of x term = (\frac{1}{2}\times 12)^2=(6)^2=36

Adding 36 to both sides.

-3Y-15+36=x^2+12x+36

-3Y+21=x^2+12x+36

Since x^2+12x+36 is a perfect square of (x+6), so, we can write as:

-3Y+21=(x+6)^2

Subtracting 21 to both sides:

-3Y+21-21=(x+6)^2-21

-3Y=(x+6)^2-21

Dividing both sides by -3.

\frac{-3Y}{-3}=\frac{(x+6)^2}{-3}-\frac{21}{-3}

Y=-\frac{1}{3}(x+6)^2+7   [Vertex form]

1. Select all the expressions that are equivalent to 4 - x.
viktelen [127]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is required to find the expressions that are equivalent to 4-x. We can also write it as :

Option (b) : (4-x) = 4+(-x)

Option (c) : (4-x) = -x+4

Hence, the correct options are (B) and (C).

The area of a square postcard is 25 square inches. How long is each side postcard?​
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a square the formula is A = bh which with a square is essentially one side squared. We know this because every side of a square is the same. We also know that 5 squared is 25 meaning the answer is 5 inches(You could also use the formula A = bh : A = 5 x 5 : A = 25).

What is the sum of the geometric series 2^0 + 2^1 + 2^2 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^4 + … + 2^9?
mars1129 [50]
The nth term is
an=a1(r)^(n-1)
an=1(2)^(n-1)
a1=1
r=2

the sum of a geometric seequence is
S_{n}=\frac{a_{1}(1-r^{n})}{1-r}
a1=1
r=2
we want to find S_{10} (since we minus 1, the highest exponet is 9 so add 1 to make it correct)

S_{10}=\frac{1(1-2^{10})}{1-2}
S_{10}=\frac{(1-1024}{-1}
S_{10}=\frac{(-1023}{-1}
S_{10}=1023
