Answer: he hiked 5.6 miles up the canyon.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent his speed hiking uphill.
His speed running downhill was 2.8 mph greater than his speed hiking uphill. This means that his speed running downhill would be x + 2.8
Distance = speed × time
Kevin hiked up Lamb’s Canyon in 2 hours. This means that the distance covered by hiking uphill is 2 × x = 2x
He ran back downhill in 1 hour. This means that the distance covered by running downhill is 1 × (x + 2.8) =
x + 2.8
Since the distance uphill is the same as the distance downhill, then
2x = x + 2.8
2x - x = 2.8
x = 2.8
Therefore, the distance hiked up the canyon is
2x = 2 × 2.8 = 5.6 miles
the answer is 16
8^(4/3) can be written in different ways. You can first simplify it by breaking the exponents down into 1/3 and 4. You can write it as (8^1/3)^4 (it still means the same thing). When you raise something to the one over something fraction, the denominator tells you what the root is. Because it says 1/3, it means that you're finding the cube root of something. So you can rewrite it as (3√8)^4 (the three should be sitting on top of the sign to signify that it's cube root). You then just solve from there. The cube root of 8 is 2 (2*2*2=8) so it'll simplify to (2)^4. You then solve it from there and get 16 as your answer (2*2*2*2=16).
X^2-9x=-8
x^2-9x+8=-8+8
x^2-9x+8=0
(x-8)(x-1)=0
x-8=0
x-8+8=0+8
x=8
x-1=0
x-1+1=0+1
x=1
There are 2 solutions, which are 1 and 8
