Answer:

580 yards long.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance of the walking tour is = 1 mile

Step 1

We have to convert 1 mile to yards

Therefore ,

1 mile = 1760 yards

Step 2

We are told that the group took a detour that was 300 yards shorter than half the distance of the tour.

The second step would be to find out how many yards is equal to half the distance of the tour.

Half the distance of the tour = 1/2 of a mile

And in step 1 we have converted whole distance of the tour to yards

= 1 mile = 1760 yards.

Hence, Half the distance of the tour = 1760 yards ÷ 2

= 880 yards.

Step 3

The group took a detour that was 300 yards shorter than half the distance of the tour.

This means mathematically,

Half the distance of the tour - 300 yards

= 880 yards - 300 yards

= 580 yards.

Therefore, the detour was 580 yards long.

Since this is a problem in exponential growth/decay, y = ab^x is the formula that will be used to solve this problem.

The initial value, "a", is the value you start out with and in this case, it is $2000. 

The growth/decay factor is what "b" represents, and it is 4%. We need to change the percentage into a decimal, so we will take the percent symbol, change it into a decimal, and move it two places to the left. This is make it 0.04. The problem also mentions interest, implying an exponential growth. Therefore, you will add 0.04 by 1: 1+0.04 = 1.04. 

The "x" represents an amount of time. It is 5 years. The equation should be written like this: 

y = 2000(1.04)^5
y = 2433.30. When rounded to the nearest dollar, it is $2433.

Serjik [45]

Answer:

<h2>(h + k)(2) = 5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

(h+k)(x)=h(x)+k(x)\\\\\bold{METHOD\ 1:}\\\\k(x)=x-2,\ h(x)=x^2+1\\\\(k+h)(2)=h(2)+k(2)\\\\\text{Calculate}\ h(2)\ \text{and}\ k(2).\\\text{Put}\ x=2\ \text{to the equations of the functions}\\\\h(2)=2^2+1=4+1=5\\k(2)=2-2=0\\\\\text\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\(h+k)(2)=5+0=5

\bold{METHOD\ 2:}\\\\k(x)=x-2,\ h(x)=x^2+1\\\\(h+k)(x)=h(x)+k(x)=(x^2+1)+(x-2)=x^2+x-1\\\\(h+k)(2)-\text{put}\ x=2\\\\(h+k)(2)=2^2+2-1=4+2-1=6-1=5
