MICHAEL and Kevin are running. Kevin gets a 3 mile head start and runs at a rate of 5.5 miles per hour. Michael runs at a rate

of 7 miles per hour. How many hours will it take Michael to catch up with Kevin?

5.5x + 3 = y
7x =y

5.5x + 3 = 7x (-5.5x both sides)

3 = 1.5x (÷1.5 both sides)

X = 2

Michael takes two hours

Please help me with precal

Consider the function $f(x)=\sqrt{x}.$ This function has:

the domain $x\in [0,\infty);$
the range $y\in [0,\infty).$

If the domain of unknown function is $[a,\infty),$ then $x\ge a$ or $x-a\ge 0.$ This means that you have $\sqrt{x-a}$ as a part of needed function.

If the range of unknown function is $[b,\infty),$ then $y\ge b.$ This means that you have to translate function b units up and then the expression of the function is

$y=\sqrt{x-a}+b.$

Answer: correct choice is B.

Answer: C & D

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

A binomial experiment must satisfy ALL four of the following:

A fixed number of trials
Each trial is independent of the others
There are only two outcomes (Success & Fail)
The probability of each outcome remains constant from trial to trial.

A) When the spinner is spun three times, X is the sum of the numbers the spinner lands on.

→ #3 is not satisfied <em>(#4 is also not satisfied)</em>

B) When the spinner is spun multiple times ...

→ #1 is not satisfied

C) When the spinner is spun four times, X is the number of times the spinner does not land on an odd number.

→ Satisfies ALL FOUR

A fixed number of trials = 4
Each trial is independent of the others = each spin is separate
There are only two outcomes = Not Odd & Odd
The probability of each outcome remains constant from trial to trial = P(X = not odd) = 0.50 for each spin

D) When the spinner is spun five times, X is the number of times the spinner lands on 1.

→ Satisfies ALL FOUR

A fixed number of trials = 5
Each trial is independent of the others = each spin is separate
There are only two outcomes = 1 & Not 1
The probability of each outcome remains constant from trial to trial = P(X = 1) = 0.17 for each spin

$\\(i)\\
\text{We know that the average rate of change of a function f(x) on inerval [a,b] is}\\
\\
f_{avg}=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\\
\\
\text{so using this the average rate of chang of g for x on interval }[3,7] \text{ is}\\
\\
g_{avg}=\frac{g(7)-g(3)}{7-3}\\
\\
=\frac{4-1}{4}\\
\\
=\frac{3}{4}\\
\\
\text{so average rate of change of g on interval [3,7] is }\frac{3}{4}$

$\\(ii)\\ \text{Average rate of chang of f for x on interval }[3,7] \text{ is}\\
\\
f_{avg}=\frac{f(7)-f(3)}{7-3}\\
\\
=\frac{0-5}{4}\\
\\
=\frac{-5}{4}\\
\\
\text{so average rate of change of g on interval [3,7] is }\frac{-5}{4}$

$\\(iii)\\
\text{Since g(4)=5, so we have}\\
\\
f(g(4))=f(5)\\
\\
\text{since the value of f is 1 at x=5. so }\\
\\
f(g(4))=f(5)=1\\
\\
\text{hence we have, }f(g(4))=$ 1

$\\(iv)\\
\text{Since f(3)=5, so we have}\\
\\
g(f(3))=g(5)\\
\\
\text{since the value of g is 2 at x=5. so }\\
\\
g(f(3))=g(5)=2\\
\\
\text{hence we have, }g(f(3))=$ 2
