Hank the hiker would like to go on a hike. He only has four hours available today for the hike. The expression 1/2d + 1/2e is us

ed as a general guide to determine how much time, in hours, a hiker should allow for hiking a trail with a distance of d miles and an elevation gain of e thousand feet. The trail Hank would like to hike is 6 miles long and has an elevation gain of 3000 ft. Will Hank be able to complete this hike in the block of time he has available today?

Answer:

No. Hank wont be able to complete the hike.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time Available for hike = 4 hours

The expression which represents the time Hank needs to complete the hike is:

\text{time}=\frac{1}{2}d+\frac{1}{2}e

d is the distance in miles of the hiking trail. Since, Hank would like to hike 6 miles, d = 6

e is the elevation gain in thousands. Since, the trail hank will hike on has an elevation gain of 3000, so e = 3

Using these values in the expression, we get:

\text{Time}=\frac{1}{2}(6)+\frac{1}{2}(3)=4.5

This means Hank should allow him 4.5 hours or the hike. Since he has only 4 hours available, he wont be able to complete the hike. So the answer to this question is No.

(6y + 3) minus (3y + 6) when y=7
never [62]

Answer:

y

Step-by-step explanation:

((((2•3y3) -  22y2) -  3y) -  —) -  2

                               y    

STEP

4

:

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction

4.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  y  as the denominator :

                      6y3 - 4y2 - 3y     (6y3 - 4y2 - 3y) • y

    6y3 - 4y2 - 3y =  ——————————————  =  ————————————————————

                            1                     y          

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

STEP

5

:

Pulling out like terms

5.1     Pull out like factors :

  6y3 - 4y2 - 3y  =   y • (6y2 - 4y - 3)

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

5.2     Factoring  6y2 - 4y - 3

The first term is,  6y2  its coefficient is  6 .

The middle term is,  -4y  its coefficient is  -4 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -3

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   6 • -3 = -18

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -18  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -4 .

     -18    +    1    =    -17

     -9    +    2    =    -7

     -6    +    3    =    -3

     -3    +    6    =    3

     -2    +    9    =    7

     -1    +    18    =    17

Observation : No two such factors can be found !!

Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

5.3       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

y • (6y2-4y-3) • y - (6)     6y4 - 4y3 - 3y2 - 6

————————————————————————  =  ———————————————————

           y                          y        

Equation at the end of step

5

:

 (6y4 - 4y3 - 3y2 - 6)    

 ————————————————————— -  2

           y              

STEP

6

:

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

6.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  y  as the denominator :

        2     2 • y

   2 =  —  =  —————

        1       y  

Checking for a perfect cube :

6.2    6y4 - 4y3 - 3y2 - 6  is not a perfect cube

Trying to factor by pulling out :

6.3      Factoring:  6y4 - 4y3 - 3y2 - 6

Thoughtfully split the expression at hand into groups, each group having two terms :

Group 1:  -3y2 - 6

Group 2:  6y4 - 4y3

Pull out from each group separately :

Group 1:   (y2 + 2) • (-3)

Group 2:   (3y - 2) • (2y3)

Bad news !! Factoring by pulling out fails :

The groups have no common factor and can not be added up to form a multiplication.

Polynomial Roots Calculator :

6.4    Find roots (zeroes) of :       F(y) = 6y4 - 4y3 - 3y2 - 6

Polynomial Roots Calculator is a set of methods aimed at finding values of  y  for which   F(y)=0  

Rational Roots Test is one of the above mentioned tools. It would only find Rational Roots that is numbers  y  which can be expressed as the quotient of two integers

The Rational Root Theorem states that if a polynomial zeroes for a rational number  P/Q   then  P  is a factor of the Trailing Constant and  Q  is a factor of the Leading Coefficient

In this case, the Leading Coefficient is  6  and the Trailing Constant is  -6.

The factor(s) are:

of the Leading Coefficient :  1,2 ,3 ,6

of the Trailing Constant :  1 ,2 ,3 ,6

Let us test ....

  P    Q    P/Q    F(P/Q)     Divisor

     -1       1        -1.00        1.00    

     -1       2        -0.50        -5.88    

     -1       3        -0.33        -6.11    

     -1       6        -0.17        -6.06    

     -2       1        -2.00        110.00    

Note - For tidiness, printing of 13 checks which found no root was suppressed

Polynomial Roots Calculator found no rational roots

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

6.5       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

(6y4-4y3-3y2-6) - (2 • y)      6y4 - 4y3 - 3y2 - 2y - 6

—————————————————————————  =  ————————————————————————

            y                            y            

Polynomial Roots Calculator :

6.6    Find roots (zeroes) of :       F(y) = 6y4 - 4y3 - 3y2 - 2y - 6

    See theory in step 6.4

In this case, the Leading Coefficient is  6  and the Trailing Constant is  -6.

The factor(s) are:

of the Leading Coefficient :  1,2 ,3 ,6

of the Trailing Constant :  1 ,2 ,3 ,6

Let us test ....

  P    Q    P/Q    F(P/Q)     Divisor

     -1       1        -1.00        3.00    

     -1       2        -0.50        -4.88    

     -1       3        -0.33        -5.44    

     -1       6        -0.17        -5.73    

     -2       1        -2.00        114.00    

Note - For tidiness, printing of 13 checks which found no root was suppressed

Polynomial Roots Calculator found no rational roots

Final result :

 6y4 - 4y3 - 3y2 - 2y - 6

Choose the Athat seems to be congruent to the given one.
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

a. ∆EGF ≅ ∆EGD

Step-by-step explanation:

Congruent triangles would have the same side lengths and the same measure of angles.

From the figure given:

EG in ∆EGF ≅ EG in ∆EGD

GF in ∆EGF ≅ GD in ∆EGD, also

EF ≅ ED.

The three angles in ∆EFG are also congruent to the three angles in ∆EGD.

Therefore, ∆EGD is congruent to ∆EGF.

∆EGF ≅ ∆EGD
