Jamie is hiking up a small mountain. He climbs up at a constant rate of 300 feet/hour until he reaches the peak at 1,500 feet. A

fter that, he hikes down at the same rate to the base of the mountain. The equation that can be used to find the number of hours, t, after which Jamie’s distance from the peak will be 900 feet is -blank-. Jamie will be 900 feet from the peak after -blank- hours and after -blank- hours.

Answer:

a. d = 1500 - 300t. b. after 2 hours and after 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Since Jamie hikes up the mountain at a rate of 300 ft/hr, and the mountain is 1500 ft high, his distance, d from the peak of the mountain at any given time,t  is given by

d = 1500 - 300t.

b.If Jamie distance d = 900 ft, then the equation becomes,

900 = 1500 - 300t

900 - 1500 = -300t

-600 = -300t

t = -600/-300

t = 2 hours

The equation d = 1500 - 300t. also models his distance from the peak of the  mountain if he hikes down at a constant rate of 300 ft/hr

At d = 900 ft, the equation becomes

900 = 1500 - 300t

900 - 1500 = -300t

-600 = -300t

t = -600/-300

t = 2 hours

So, on his hike down the mountain, it takes him another 2 hours to be 900 ft from the peak of the mountain.

So, he is at 900 ft on his hike down after his start of hiking up the mountain at time t = (2 + 2) hours = 4 hours. Since it takes 2 hours to climb to the peak of he mountain and another 2 hours to climb down 900 ft from the peak of the mountain.

Which graph shows the solution to the system of linear inequalities?
tangare [24]

Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given system:</u>

  • y ≥ 2x + 1
  • y ≤ 2x – 2

The solution is the common area shaded by the inequalities.

The lines are parallel because of same slope.

Both lines are solid because of equal sign in both inequalities.

The first inequality has a y-intercept of 1 and shaded area is to the left of the line since the value of y is greater as x increases.

The second inequality has a y-intercept of -2 and shaded area is to the right of the line since the value of y is greater as x increases.

The matching graph is the second picture (or attached below) and there is no solution.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As the statement is ‘‘if and only if’’ we need to prove two implications

  1. f : X \rightarrow Y is surjective implies there exists a function h : Y \rightarrow X such that  f\circ h = 1_Y.
  2. If there exists a function h : Y \rightarrow X such that  f\circ h = 1_Y, then f : X \rightarrow Y is surjective

Let us start by the first implication.

Our hypothesis is that the function f : X \rightarrow Y is surjective. From this we know that for every y\in Y there exist, at least, one x\in X such that y=f(x).

Now, define the sets X_y = \{x\in X: y=f(x)\}. Notice that the set X_y is the pre-image of the element y. Also, from the fact that f is a function we deduce that X_{y_1}\cap X_{y_2}=\emptyset, and because  f the sets X_y are no empty.

From each set X_y  choose only one element x_y, and notice that f(x_y)=y.

So, we can define the function h:Y\rightarrow X as h(y)=x_y. It is no difficult to conclude that f\circ h(y) = f(x_y)=y. With this we have that f\circ h=1_Y, and the prove is complete.

Now, let us prove the second implication.

We have that there exists a function  h:Y\rightarrow X  such that f\circ h=1_Y.

Take an element y\in Y, then f\circ h(y)=y. Now, write x=h(y) and notice that x\in X. Also, with this we have that f(x)=y.

So, for every element y\in Y we have found that an element x\in X (recall that x=h(y)) such that y=f(x), which is equivalent to the fact that f is surjective. Therefore, the prove is complete.

Explain how to find the volume of any composite figure.
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first composite shape is a combination of a rectangular prism and a pyramid. To find the volume of the entire shape you find the volume of each individual shape and add them together. The second figure consists of a cylinder and a hemisphere.

How many solutions does the following equation have? -4-7+10x=-7+6x
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-4 - 7 + 10x = -7 + 6x...combine like terms

10x - 11 = 6x - 7

10x - 6x = -7 + 11

4x = 4

x = 4/4

x = 1.........ONE SOLUTION
