Oliver and Lenny started hiking a hill simultaneously from the bottom to the top. Oliver hiked at a speed of 5 km/h during the f

irst half, then decreased his speed to 4 km/h during the second half. Lenny hiked at a speed of 4 km/h during the first half, then increased his speed to 5 km/h in the second half. Who reached the top of the hill first? What is the proportion of time he spent hiking to that of his friend?

Answer:

<u>Oliver and Lenny reached the top of the hill at the same time</u>

<u>The proportion of time Oliver spent hiking to that of Lenny is 1:1</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Oliver's speed = 5 km/h during the first half, then decreased his speed to 4 km/h during the second half.

Lenny's speed = 4 km/h during the first half, then increased his speed to 5 km/h in the second half.

2. Who reached the top of the hill first? What is the proportion of time he spent hiking to that of his friend?

Let's assume the distance from the bottom to the top of the hill is 10 kilometers for calculating the time it will take Oliver and Lenny to reach the top of the hill:

Speed = Distance/Time

Time = Distance/Speed

Oliver = Time of hiking first 5 km + Time of hiking second 5 km

Lenny = Time of hiking first 5 km + Time of hiking second 5 km

Oliver = 5/5 + 5/4

Oliver = 1 + 5/4 = 2 1/4 hours

Lenny = 5/4 + 5/5

Lenny = 5/4 + 1 = 2 1/4 hours

<u>Oliver and Lenny reached the top of the hill at the same time</u>

<u>The proportion of time Oliver spent hiking to that of Lenny is 1:1</u>

Hi

exponnential cannot be negative.  So A is out  

quadratic function cannot also. So B is out.

Determine the constant of Proportionality in the situation below
9966 [12]

a constant of proportionality is a number you have to multiply x by to get y.

y=kx is the equation that expresses the proportionality of x and y

in this case, 10 video games cost $145

the question's basically asking what you have to multiply 10 by to get 145

y= 145; x=10

k= y/x = 145/10=14.5

the constant of proportionality is 14.5

Find perimeter in cm of the diagram
boyakko [2]

3 sides of square is 3*12=36 cm


perimeter for the full circle is 2 * pi * radius


which is =2 * 22/7 * 12 =75.43 cm


so 360° =75.43 cm


for 150° = 75.43/360 *150 =31.43


all together =36 +31.43 =67.43 cm

The exponential function y= a(b)^x passes through the points (3,25) and (8,10). Which of the following is closest to the value o
Yuki888 [10]

If the exponential function y=ab^x passes through the points (3,25) and (8,10), the value of b is 0.833

The given exponential equation is:

y=ab^x

The function passes through the points (3, 25) and (8, 10)

Substitute x = 3 and y = 25 into the function y=ab^x

25=ab^3............................(1)

Substitute x = 8 and y = 10 into the function y=ab^x

10=ab^8.............................(2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1)

\frac{10}{25}=\frac{ab^8}{ab^3}  \\\\0.4=b^5\\\\b=0.4^\frac{1}{5} \\\\b=0.4^{0.2}\\\\b=0.833

Therefore, if the exponential function y=ab^x passes through the points (3,25) and (8,10), the value of b is 0.833
