Answer:

20 minutes should spend on walking and 30 minutes on running.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the minutes spent on walking and y represents the minutes spent on running,

∵ He burns 4 cal/min walking and 10 cal/min running,

So, the total calories burnt,

Z = 4x + 10y

Which has to be maximised.

Now, he walks between 10 and 20 min each day,

i.e. 10 < x < 20,

Also, he runs between 30 and 45 min each day,

i.e. 30 <  y < 45,

By graphing 10 < x < 20 and 30 <  y < 45,

We obtained the vertices of feasible region,

(10, 45), (20, 45), (10, 30) and (20, 30)

At (10, 45),

Z = 4(10) + 10(45) = 40 + 450 = 490,

At (20, 45),

Z = 4(20) + 10(45) = 80 + 450 = 530,

At (10, 30),

Z = 4(10) + 10(30) = 40 + 300 = 340,

At (20, 30)

Z = 4(20) + 10(30) = 80 + 300 = 380

Hence, maximum calories is 530 when 20 minutes spent on walking and 30 minutes spent on running.

The difference between two numbers is 25. The smaller number us 1/6th of the larger number. What is the value of the smaller num
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L be the larger number and s be the smaller one.

Then we have two equations.

(1) L – s = 25

(2)       s = L/6     Multiply both sides by 6

        6s = L         Substitute the value for L in Equation(1)

 6s – s = 25        Combine like terms

       5s = 25        Divide both sides by 5

         s = 5

The value of the smaller number is 5.

Triangle ABC is translated according to the rule (x,y) arrow (x+2,y-8) if the coordinates of the pre image of point B are (4,-5)
kherson [118]
Answer: the coordinates of B' are (6, -13)

Justification:

1) Translating triangle ABC according to the rule (x,y) → (x + 2, y - 8) means that every single point of the triangle will be translated two units to the righ (x + 2) and 8 units downward (y - 8).

2) To find the coordinates of anay image you have to add up 2 to the x coordinate (x + 2) and subtract 8 from the y-coordinate (y - 8).

3) Peforming those simple operations to the coordinates of the point B (4, -5), you will obtain the point B':

* x' = x + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6
* y' = y  - 8 = -5 - 8 = - 13

Answer: the coordinates of B' are (6, -13)
