Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the person who takes 1 min,

B who takes 2 mins, C who takes 7 mins and D who takes 10 mins

A and B cross the river in 2 mins, A comes back in 1 min

C and D cross the river in 10 mins, B comes back in 2 mins

A and B cross the river in 2 mins

Total time:

2 + 1 + 10 + 2 + 2 = 17 minutes

Answer:

17 minutes    i had this same answer and question 2day, so ur lucky.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial solution most people will think of is to use the fastest person as an usher to guide everyone across. How long would that take? 10 + 1 + 7 + 1 + 2 = 21 mins. Is that it? No. That would make this question too simple even as a warm up question.

To reduce the amount of time, we should find a way for 10 and 7 to go together. If they cross together, then we need one of them to come back to get the others. That would not be ideal. How do we get around that? Maybe we can have 1 waiting on the other side to bring the torch back. Ahaa, we are getting closer. The fastest way to get 1 across and be back is to use 2 to usher 1 across. So let's put all this together.

1 and 2 go cross

2 comes back

7 and 10 go across

1 comes back

1 and 2 go across (done)

Total time = 2 + 2 + 10 + 1 + 2 = 17 mins

What is the value of the function when x = 2?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer: The answer is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

To make this easier, first draw or imagine a vertical line at x=2

Find where the vertical line and the graph intersects.

Draw or imagine that point of intersection.

Now, draw or imagine a horizontal line that goes through the point of intersection.

That horizontal line tells us the the value of the function by passing through that mark that says "-2"

The function's value at x=2 is -2.
