Solving an Equation for a Rate Problem Stu hiked a trail at an average rate of 3 miles per hour. He ran back on the same trail a

t an average rate of 5 miles per hour. He traveled for a total of 3 hours. The equation 3t = 5(3 – t) can be used to find the time it took Stu to hike one way. How long did it take Stu to hike the trail one way?

Given:
speed = distance / time

walking: 3 miles per hour
running 5 miles per hour
for a total of 3 hours.

3t = 5(3-t)
3t = 15 - 5t
3t + 5t = 15
8t = 15
t = 15/8
t = 1 7/8 

7/8 * 60 mins = 52.50 minutes

t = 1 hour and 52.5 minutes

It took Stu 1 hour and 52.5 minutes to hike the trail one way.

If T (n) =6-1 what is the 1st term.
Mariulka [41]
T(n)=6-1=5
that means all terms are 5 because n does not appear on the right hand side.

However, if T(n)=6n-1, then
first term = T(1)=6(1)-1=5,
but second term T(2)=6(2)-1=11...

The graph of y=tan(x) is vertically stretched by a factor of 7, shifted a distance of 12 units to the left, reflected across the
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

A transformation(s) of a parent function is

f(x) = a(bx - c) + d

where a is vertical compression/stretched or reflection

B is horinzotnal compression/stretch or reflection

C is horinzontal translation

D is vertical translation.

The parent function is

y =  \tan(x)

First, we stretched this by 7

so we have

y = 7 \tan(x)

We need to shift this 12 units to the left so we have

y = 7 \tan(x + 12)

We need to reflect this across x axis so we get

y =  - 7 \tan(x + 12)

We need to shift this downwards 15 so we get

y =  - 7 \tan(x + 12)  - 15

or because tan is a odd function you could say

7 \tan( - (x + 12) ) - 15

7 \tan( - x  - 12)  - 15
