Mathematics

ExtremeBDS [4]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: 8 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the relation:

Time  = distance/velocity

Distance = 50 miles

Velocity in horse = 9mph

Velocity walking = 3 1/2 mph = 3.5 mph

Then, if T is the total time, X is the distance that he travels in horse and Y is the distance that he travels by foot, we have:

X + Y = 50 miles:

T/2 = X/9mph

T/2 = Y/3.5mph

Then we have:

X/9mph = Y/3.5mph

X = Y*(9/3.5)

And by the first relation:

X = 50 mi - Y

then we have:

50mi - Y = Y*(9/3.5)

50mi = Y + Y*(9/3.5) = Y*(1 + 9/3.5) = Y*3.57

Y = 50mi/3.57 = 14mi

Then we have:

T/2 = 14mi/3.5mph

T = 2*(14/3.5) hours = 8 hours

Is the following graph a function
daser333 [38]
You can use the vertical line test to determine if the graph is a function.

A function must: for every x value have only one y value.

Vertical line test: if you draw a bunch of vertical lines each line only touches the graph once.

So a circle would not be a function, or a horizontally facing parabola, etc... Remember, if you draw a vertical line "|" and it touches the graph more than once at any point then it is not a function.

Now take a look at the graph in the question.
In this graph if we do the vertical line test there are no place where a vertical line touches the graph twice so this graph is indeed a function.

This means your answer is C. Yes
