Answer: 7 laps

Step-by-step explanation:

The athlete planned to run 3 miles

1 lap = 3/7 miles

x laps = 3 miles

by proportion :

x × 3/7miles = 3 miles

x = 3 ÷ 3/7

x = 3 x 7/3

x = 7

Therefore: the athlete will run 7 laps

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$3^{4x+5}=(\frac{1}{3} )^{x+10}=\frac{1}{3^{x+10}} =3^{-x-10}\\so~4x+5=-x-10\\4x+x=-10-5\\5x=-15\\x=-3$

I need help how do you solve #4

Sloan [31]

A + B + C = 180

A = B --> B = A

A = 4·C --> C = 1/4*A

A + A + 1/4*A = 180

2.25*A = 180

A = 80

Given that f(x)=2x/3 evaluate f^-1(6)

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we know by definition that

$f^{-1}(f(x))=x\\\\f^{-1}(\frac{2x}{3})=x\\\\f^{-1}(x)=ax\\\\f^{-1}(\frac{2x}{3})=a(\frac{2x}{3})=x\\\\f^{-1}(x)=\frac{3x}{2}$

so now we evaluate

$f^{-1}(6)=\frac{3*6}{2}\\\\=3*3\\\\f^{-1}(6)=9$

and if we want to do an extra step

$f^{-1}(f(6))=6\\\\f^{-1}(\frac{2*6}{3})=f^{-1}(4)=\frac{3*4}{2}=6$

which works.

A long distance runner starts at the beginning of a trail and runs at a rate of 6 miles per hour. Two hours later, a cyclist sta

yanalaym [24]

If the runner moves at 6 miles per hour for 2 hours before the cyclist starts, the runner has a 12 mile lead at the beginning. If the cyclist is going at 16 miles per hour, he is overtaking the runner at 10 miles per hour, because 16-6=10. Then, the amount of time it takes the cyclist to go 2 miles in 10 miles per hour is the answer. this is 1/5 of an hour, or 12 minutes.
