On a 1‐mile walking tour of New York City, a group had to take a detour that was 300 yards shorter than half the distance of the

tour. The detour is how many yards long?

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.

What is f(x) = –4x2 + 24x + 13 written in vertex form? f(x) = –4(x – 6)2 + 23 f(x) = –4(x – 6)2 + 7 f(x) = –4(x – 3)2 + 4 f(x) =

We have that
f(x) = –4x²<span> + 24x + 13
</span>
we know that

The vertex form for a parabola that opens up or down is:

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

in the given equation, <span>a=-4</span><span>, therefore we add zero to the original equation in the form of </span><span>4h</span>²<span>−4h</span>²
f(x) = –4x² + 24x + 4h²−4h² +13
<span>Factor 4 out of the first 3 terms and group them 
</span>f(x) = –4*(x² -6x +h²) +4h² +13
<span>We can find the value of h by setting the middle term equal to -2hx
</span>−2hx=−6x
<span>h=3</span><span> and  </span><span>4h</span>²<span>=<span>36
</span></span>f(x) = –4*(x² -6x +9) +36 +13

we know that the term (x² -6x +9) is equals to------> (x-3)²
so
f(x) = –4*(x-3)² +49

the answer is
f(x) = –4*(x-3)² +49

Which function has the following characteristics?
iren [92.7K]

Using the asymptote concept, the function with a vertical asymptote at x = 3 and an horizontal asymptote at y = -\frac{1}{2} is given by:

f(x) = -\frac{x}{2(x - 3)}

<h3>What are the asymptotes of a function f(x)?</h3>

  • The vertical asymptotes are the values of x which are outside the domain, which in a fraction are the zeroes of the denominator.
  • The horizontal asymptote is the value of f(x) as x goes to infinity, as long as this value is different of infinity.

The vertical asymptote at x = 3 means that x = 3 is a root of the denominator, hence:

f(x) = \frac{g(x)}{x - 3}

The horizontal asymptote at y = -1/2 means that:

\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x) = -\frac{1}{2}

Which happens if g(x) = -\frac{x}{2}, hence the function is:

f(x) = -\frac{x}{2(x - 3)}

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

60km

Step-by-step explanation:

In 95 mins,he can run is 20km

In 1 min,he can run is 20/95

= 4/19in lowest

Now,

In 285 mins,he can run is=4/19*285

=4*15 in lowest

=60 km
