Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 + 2x + 1 = 17
x^2 + 2x = 17 - 1
x^2 + 2x = 16
x^2 + 2x + 1 = 16 + 1
(x + 1)(x + 1) = 17
(x + 1)^2 = 17
x + 1 = sqrt 17
x = -1 (+ - ) sqrt 17
x = -1 + sqrt 17 or x = -1 - sqrt 17 <===
Her first rate was faster. The 10 minutes with a change in elevation of -200ft.
In order to solve this you need to have the same minutes. In this problem, I just simply took the 10 minutes and the -200ft and doubled it. Now both rates have 20 minutes. The first rate would have gone -400ft in 20 minutes while the second rate was only -300ft in 20 minutes. I hope this wasn't confusing, and I'm willing to explain more.
Answer:
The Equivalent Resistance are 5ohms
