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.

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Melissa

Step-by-step explanation:

Melissa: 18/20

Tom: 85/100

Find the common denomenater so multiply 18*5 and 20*5

Melissa: 95/100

95>85

Melissa has the greater mark

A 40-foot pipe is cut into three sections. The longest section is three times as long as the shortest, and the middle-sized sect
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

P=40

a + b + x = P

a = 3x    

b = x + 5

substitute for b & y

3x + (x+5) + x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

longest section 1 = a

mid length section 2 = b

shortest section 3 = x

P=40

a + b + x = P

a = 3x    

b = x + 5

substitute for b & y

3x + (x+5) + x = 40

5x + 5 = 40

5x = 35

x = 7

b = 12

a = 21

7. The probability that a randomly chosen student will be left-handed is .09: a) In a class of 108, find the probability that th
vampirchik [111]

Solution :

Let x be student will be left handed

P = 0.09

Using the normal approximation to binomial distribution,

a). n = 108,

    μ = np = 9.72

    $\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

       $=\sqrt{8.8452}$

       = 2.9741

Required probability,

P(x=8) = P(7.5 < x < 8.5)

$=P\left(\frac{7.5-9.72}{2.9741}< \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}< \frac{8.5-9.72}{2.9741}\right)$

$=P(-0.75 < z < -0.41)$

Using z table,

= P(z<-0.41)-P(z<-0.75)

= 0.3409-0.2266

= 0.1143

b). P(x=12) = P(11.5 < x < 12.5)

$=P\left(\frac{11.5-9.72}{2.9741}< \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}< \frac{12.5-9.72}{2.9741}\right)$

$=P(0.60 < z < 0.94)$

Using z table,

= P(z< 0.94)-P(z< 0.60)

= 0.8294 - 0.7257

= 0.1006

Interval does h have a negative average of change
NikAS [45]

The average rate of change over some interval [a, b] is equal to the slope of the secant line from (a, h(a)) to (b, h(b)).

h(t) is a quadratic function, so its graph is a parabola, and in particular it's one that has a minimum of -4 when t = 2.

The secant line over an interval [a, b] will have a negative slope if the distance from a to 2 is larger than the distance from b to 2.

(A) If a = 4 and b = 5, then |a - 2| = 2 and |b - 2| = 3, so the slope and hence average rate of change is positive.

(B) If a = -1 and b = 5, then |a - 2| = 3 and |b - 2| = 3, so this ARoC is zero.

(C) If a = 0 and b = 4, then |a - 2| = 2 and |b - 2| = 2, so this ARoC is also zero.

(D) If a = -1 and b = 4, then |a - 2| = 3 and |b - 2| = 2, so this ARoC is negative.
