Kara and Lindsey both hike in separate directions from their campsite, with Kara hiking straight to the east and Lindsey hiking

straight north. At
2:00 p.m., Kara hiked twice as far to the east as Lindsey hiked to the north. At 2:30 p.m., Kara had covered another mile, while Lindsey had
covered another half of a mile. If x represents Lindsey's distance, in miles, from the campsite at 2:00p.m., what function could be used to
represent the area of the triangular region formed by the girls' locations and the campsite at 2:30 p.m.?

Answer:

A. f(x)=x^2+x+0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

If x represents Lindsey's distance at 2:00 PM, then 2x represents Kara's distance at 2:00 PM because she walked twice as far as Lindsey. Then adding on the values we got for 2:30 PM, we get that Kara walked a distance of 2x+1 and Lindsey walked a distance of x+0.5 at the time of 2:30 PM. Now, we know that they have formed a right triangle because we are given the directions they walked in; east and north. This allows us to use a formula for the area of a right triangle: 1/2(L x W). Plugging in our values, we get...

1/2(2x+1)(x+0.5)

which simplifies to...

1/2(2x^2+2x+0.5)

which further simplifies to...

x^2+x+0.25

which is our answer.

Whould anyone mind helping please. The first box says 6.25x+12x=30.75 the second box says 6.25x+12=30.75 3rd box says 6.25x+30.7
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The correct equation is: 6x+12 = 30.75

And 3 people went to the movies

Step-by-step explanation:

We will write the equation to represent this scenario.

Let x be the number of people who went for movies.

Then the price of ticket for x people will be: 6.25x

They spent $12 on refreshments and a total of $30.75 so the equation will be:

6.25x+12=30.75

solving the equation will give us total number of people

So,

6.25x+12 = 30.75\\6.25x = 30.75-12\\6.25x = 18.75\\\frac{6.25x}{6.25} =\frac{18.75}{6.25}\\x = 3

Hence,

The correct equation is: 6x+12 = 30.75

And 3 people went to the movies

Tran is solving the quadratic equation 2x2 – 4x – 3 = 0 by completing the square. His first four steps are shown in the table.
Nady [450]
The following steps of solving for the roots of 2x² - 4x -3 = 0 were retrieved from another source Step 1 2x² - 4x = 3 Step 2 2(x² - 2x) = 3 Step 3 2(x² - 2x + 1) = 3 + 1 Step 4 2(x - 1)² = 4 From this, we can see that on Step 3, Tran made a mistake of adding 1 to 3. As we can see, 2(x² - 2x + 1) = 2x² - 4x + 2. That means, instead of adding 1, it should have been 2. Therefore, the step that Tran first made an error is Step 3<span>.</span>
