Two hikers hike from a first mountain to a second mountain. The next day, they hike from the second mountain to the hollow. The

total distance is 25mi. If the distance between the second mountain and the hollow is 7mi more than the distance from the first mountain to the second mountain, find the distance they hiked each day.

Answer: on the first day, they hiked 9 miles.

On the second day, they hiked 16 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance that the two hikers hiked from the first mountain to the second mountain.

Let y represent the distance that the two hikers hiked from the second mountain to the hollow.

The total distance is 25mi. This means that

x + y = 25 - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

If the distance between the second mountain and the hollow is 7mi more than the distance from the first mountain to the second mountain, it means that

y = x + 7

Substituting y = x + 7 into equation 1, it becomes

x + x + 7 = 25

2x = 25 - 7

2x = 18

x = 18/2 = 9

y = x + 7 = 9 + 7

y = 16

Explain why the function is discontinuous at the given number
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

  left limit = 2 ≠ 1/2 = right limit

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is discontinuous if the limit of the function value approaching the point from the left is different than the limit approaching from the right.

Here, the left limit is 2 and the right limit is 1/2. The limits are different, which is why the function is discontinuous at x=-1.

Find gradient <br><br>xe^y + 4 ln y = x² at (1, 1)​
cricket20 [7]

xe^y+4\ln y=x^2

Differentiate both sides with respect to <em>x</em>, assuming <em>y</em> = <em>y</em>(<em>x</em>).

\dfrac{\mathrm d(xe^y+4\ln y)}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\mathrm d(x^2)}{\mathrm dx}

\dfrac{\mathrm d(xe^y)}{\mathrm dx}+\dfrac{\mathrm d(4\ln y)}{\mathrm dx}=2x

\dfrac{\mathrm d(x)}{\mathrm dx}e^y+x\dfrac{\mathrm d(e^y)}{\mathrm dx}+\dfrac4y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=2x

e^y+xe^y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}+\dfrac4y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=2x

Solve for d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> :

e^y+\left(xe^y+\dfrac4y\right)\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=2x

\left(xe^y+\dfrac4y\right)\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=2x-e^y

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{2x-e^y}{xe^y+\frac4y}

If <em>y</em> ≠ 0, we can write

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{2xy-ye^y}{xye^y+4}

At the point (1, 1), the derivative is

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\bigg|_{x=1,y=1}=\boxed{\dfrac{2-e}{e+4}}

Select the correct answer. A linear function on a coordinate plane. A line passing through (1, 4), (minus 2, minus 2), intersect
Mumz [18]

Considering the given linear function, the inequality graphed is:

B. y \geq 2x + 2.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

The line intersects the y-axis at 2 units, hence the y-intercept is b = 2. The function also passes through (1,4), hence the slope is:

m = (4 - 2)/(2 - 1) = 2.

Thus the equation of the line is:

y = 2x + 2.

The left-side of the line is the values above the line, hence the inequality is:

B. y \geq 2x + 2.
