Building and solving an equation to model the situation, it is found that it takes 4 min for the prairie dog to reach 13 feet underground.
- Initially, the dog is 5 feet underground.
- Each minute, the dog goes 2 more feet underground.
Hence, the underground height of the dog after t seconds is given by:
The time it takes for the dog to reach 13 feet underground is <u>t for which h(t) = 13</u>, hence:
It takes 4 min for the prairie dog to reach 13 feet underground.

Answer:
The answer is 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x+3)(x+1) Use the FOIL METHOD
2x²+2x+3x+3
2x²+5x+3.
Answer:
amount of nuts = 2 pounds
amount of dried fruit = 4 pounds
Explanation:
We are given that x is the amount of nuts and y is the amount of dried fruit.
We are also given that:
1- Hunter needs to make 6 pounds of trail mix. This means that:
x + y = 6
This can be rewritten as:
x = 6 - y .........> equation I
2- x costs $4 per pound, y costs $3.5 and Hunter can spend a total of $22. This means that:
4x + 3.5y = 22 ..........> equation II
Substitute with equation I in equation II and solve for y as follows:
4x + 3.5y = 22
4(6-y) + 3.5y = 22
24 - 4y + 3.5y = 22
24-22 = 4y-3.5y
2 = 0.5y
y = 4 pounds
Substitute with y in equation I to get the value of x as follows:
x = 6-y
x = 6-4
x = 2 pounds
Hope this helps :)
