Answer:

\frac{1000}{x} +\frac{2500}{x-5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Total time T = (distance 1)/ (speed 1) + (distance 2)/ ( speed 2)

Distance covered by the mountaineer = 1000 feet

Speed of climbing = x feet per hour

Time taken will be = \frac{1000}{x}

Additional distance covered by him = 5000 feet

Speed to cover this distance = 2x-10 or 2(x-5)

So, total time T =  \frac{1000}{x} +\frac{5000}{2(x-5)}

T = \frac{1000}{x} +\frac{2500}{x-5}

A mountaineer climbed 1000 feet at a rate of x feet/hour

 1000 = x ( t 1 )         eq1

  5000 = X ( t 2)        eq2     ( he climbed additional at different rate )

the rate was 10 feet / hour less than twice the first rate

 X   = 2x - 10             eq3

take eq1 and eq 2

( total time = t 1 +  t 2 =   T)

T = 1000/x  + 5000/X

but X = 2x-10

T = 1000/x   +  5000/( 2x -10)

T = 1000/x   +  5000/( 2(x-5))

T  = 1000/x   +    2500 /  (x-5)

6. Pamel bought an electric drill at 85% of the regular price. She paid $276,25 for
Katen [24]

Answer:

£325

Step-by-step explanation:

She paid £276.25 which is 85%

Divide 276.25 by 85 which is 3.25

3.25 is 1%

Multiply 3.25 by 100 to get the full Price

3.25 x 100 = £325

Find the distance.<br> -3,5 and 7,-1
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

≈ 11.66 units

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given points:</u>

  • (-3,5) and (7,-1)

<u>To find:</u>

  • The distance between the given points

<u>The distance between two points is calculated by formula:</u>

  • d= √((x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)²)
  • d= √(((7-(-3))² + (-1-5)²) = √(10²+(-6)²)= √136 ≈ 11.66 units

<u>Answer is</u> ≈ 11.66 units

One root of f(x) = x + 10x2 – 25x – 250 is x = -10. What are all the roots of the function? Use the Remainder Theorem.
Natalka [10]

Answer:

-10

-5

5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the answers given, you probably mean f(x) = x^3 + 10x2 – 25x – 250

The Remainder Theorem is going to take a bit to solve.

You have to try the factors of 250. One way to make your life a lot easier is to graph the equation. That will give you the roots.

The graph appears below. Since the y intercept is -250 the graph goes down quite a bit and if you show the y intercept then it will not be easy to see the roots.

However just to get the roots, the graph shows that

x = -10

x = - 5

x = 5

The last answer is the right one. To use the remainder theorem, you could show none of the answers will give 0s except the last one. For example, the second one will give

f((10) = 10^3 + 10*10^2 - 25*10 - 250

f(10) = 1000 + 1000 - 250 - 250

f(10) = 2000 - 500

f(10) = 1500 which is  not 0.

==================

f(1) = (1)^3 + 10*(1)^2 - 25(1) - 250

f(1) = 1 + 10 - 25 - 250

f(1) = -264 which again is not zero

Using faucet P, you can fill a sink in 10 minutes. Faucet Q takes only 8 minutes to fill the same sink. How long will it take to
nevsk [136]

It would take 4.44 minutes to fill the sink using both faucets P and faucet Q together

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let t represent the time it takes to fill the sink using both faucets together, hence:

(1/10 + 1/8)t = 1

t = 4.44 minutes

It would take 4.44 minutes to fill the sink using both faucets P and faucet Q together
