Let x be the number of hours she jogs, and y be the number of hours she bikes.
The total time would then be x + y = 5
The total distance (based on the given speeds) would be 6x + 12y = 50
Multiply the first equation by 6 to get 6x + 6y = 30
Subtract this from the second equation to get 6y = 20
y = 10/3 or 3 1/3
Substitute this value back into the first equation to get x = 5/3 or 1 2/3
Therefore, Yolanda will have to jog 1 2/3 hours and bike 3 1/3 hours.

Line FG goes through the points (4,9) and (1,3). Which equation represents a line that is perpendicular to FG and passes through
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

x + 2y= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Points:

F = (4,9)

G = (1,3)

Required

Determine the equation of line that is perpendicular to the given points and that pass through (2,0)

First, we need to determine the slope, m of FG

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Where

F = (4,9) --- (x_1,y_1)

G = (1,3) --- (x_2,y_2)

m = \frac{3 - 9}{1 - 4}

m = \frac{- 6}{- 3}

m =2

The question says the line is perpendicular to FG.

Next, we determine the slope (m2) of the perpendicular line using:

m_2 = -\frac{1}{m}

m_2 = -\frac{1}{2}

The equation of the line is then calculated as:

y - y_1 = m_2(x - x_1)

Where

m_2 = -\frac{1}{2}

(x_1,y_1) = (2,0)

y - 0 = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 2)

y  = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 2)

y  = -\frac{1}{2}x + 1

Multiply through by 2

2y = -x + 2

Add x to both sides

x + 2y= -x +x+ 2

x + 2y= 2

Hence, the line of the equation is x + 2y= 2

Which of the following exponential functions represents the graph below?
mario62 [17]

Answer:

the graph corresponds to function "D"  f(x)=3\,(\frac{1}{5} )^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the graph shown corresponds to an exponential "decay" (the function decreases as we move from left to right), the base of the exponent has to be a number smaller than 1 (one). So we examine the only two options that give such (options C and D which have fractions as the base - 1/3 and 1/5 respectively)

From there, we analyze which of the two functions satisfies the crossing of the y-axis at (0,3) which is clearly shown in the graph:

We study both:

function C at x = 0 gives:

f(x)= 5\,(\frac{1}{3})^x\\f(0)=5\,(\frac{1}{3})^0 \\f(0)=5\,(1)\\f(0)=5

while function D at x = 0 gives:

f(x)= 3\,(\frac{1}{5})^x\\f(0)=3\,(\frac{1}{5})^0 \\f(0)=3\,(1)\\f(0)=3

Therefore, the graph corresponds to function "D"

Express the radical using the imaginary unit, i.
MrMuchimi

Answer:

±3i

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the value ±√-9, we are to express the value using the imaginary number 'I'

±√-9 = ±√9×-1

= ±√9 × √-1

In complex number, √-1 = i

The expression becomes;

±√9 = ±3 × i

±√9 = ±3i

Hence the value in simplified form is ±3i
