<u>Answer:</u>

<u>Distance:</u> 6x + 15.5y > 55.5

<u>Time:</u> x + y > 4.5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given that Martha is training for a duathlon and she covered a total distance of over 55.5 miles in more than than 4.5 hours of training.

Also, she runs at a speed of 6 mph and bikes at a rate of 15.5 mph.

We are to write inequalities representing the distance she traveled and the total time she spent training.

<u>Distance:</u> 6x + 15.5y > 55.5

(formula for distance = speed x time so speeds for running and biking are multiplied by their number of hours)

<u>Time:</u> x + y > 4.5

(she trained for more than 4.5 hours, x hours for running and y hours for biking.

How many ways can six friends be arranged around a circular dinner table?
Mice21 [21]
A question such as this one is a little tricky since the people seated are not in a straight line. 

For a circular table seating question, (n-1)! formula is used. Without restrictions 5! people can be seated. 

You might be wondering why it is not 6!, this is because the first person will the the 6 person so you are accounting for the same person twice. 

Hope I helped :)

Can someone please help me with this last one. I am totally lost and don’t understand
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

g(-4) = -1

g(-1) = -1

g(1) = 3

Explanation:

If you are given a function that is defined by a system of equations associated with certain intervals of x, just find which interval makes x true, and then substitute x into the equation of that interval.

For example, given g(-4), this is an expression which is asking for the value of the equation when x = -4. So -4 is not ≥ 2, so ¼x - 1 will not be used. -4 is also not ≤ -1 and ≤ 2, so -(x - 1)² + 3 will not be used either. So in turn, we will just use -1 which is always -1 so g(-4) will just be -1, right because there is no x variable in -1 so it will always be the same.

Using the same idea as before g(-1) is g(x) when x = -1 so -1 will not be a solution because -1 is not less than -1 (< -1). -1 is not ≥ 2 either so we will be using the second equation because -1 is part of the interval -1≤x≤2 (it is a solution to this inequality), therefore -(x - 1)² + 3 will be used.

As x = -1, -(x - 1)² + 3 = -(-1 - 1)² + 3 = -(-2)² + 3 = -4 + 3 = -1.

It is a coincidence that g(-1) = -1.

Now for g(1), where g(x) has an input of 1 or the value of the function where x = 1, we will not use the first equation because x = 1 → x < -1 → 1 < -1 [this is false because 1 is never less than -1], so we will not use -1.

We will use -(x - 1)² + 3 again because 1 is not ≥ 2, 1≥2 [this is also false]. And -1 ≤ 1 < 2 [This is a true statement]. Therefore g(1) = -(1 - 1)² + 3 = -(0)² + 3 = 3
