Answer:

Brandon

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: Branden and Pete each play running back. Branden carries the ball 75 times for  550 yards, and Pete has 42 carries for 380 yards.

TO FIND: Who runs farther per carry.

SOLUTION:

Total yards traveled by Brandon =550\text{yards}

No. of times ball carried by Brandon =75\text{ times}

Average yards per carry for Brandon =\frac{\text{total yards traveled}}{\text{number of times ball carried}}

                                                              =\frac{550}{75}

                                                              =\frac{22}{3}\text{ yards per carry}

                                                              =7.33\text{ yards per carry}

Total yards traveled by Pete =380\text{ yards}

No. of times ball carried by Pete =42\text{ times}

Average yards per carry for Pete =\frac{\text{total yards traveled}}{\text{number of times ball carried}}

                                                       =\frac{380}{42}

                                                       ≅ 9\text{ yards per carry}

As the number of yards per carry is higher for Brandon , therefore he runs farther per carry.

choli [55]

Answer:

The length of the ladder  = 6.5077 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given A ladder leans against the side of a house

Given the angle of elevation of the ladder is 68° when the bottom of the ladder is 16 ft from the side of the house

Let 'C' be the point of observation.

Given CA= 16 ft

 From right angle triangle

     

     

     x = 16 × cos 68°

    x = 16 × 0.4067

    x = 6.5077

  x = 6.5 ft

The length of the ladder = 6.5 ft

Find f(x) and g(x) so the function can be expressed as y = f(g(x)). y= <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7Bx%5E2%
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

One possible answer is:

f(x) = (2/x) + 3 and g(x) = x².

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

We are to write this equation as y = f(g(x)).  This means we want it to be a composite of functions; in f(x), we take the value of g(x) and use in place of x.

If we let g(x) = x², this means everywhere we see an x in f(x), we will replace it with x².  To make our equation y = 2/x² + 3, working backward we would substitute x for x²; this would give us f(x) = 2/x + 3.
