A hiker climbs a 5-mile trail up a mountain in 2 hours. On the return trip downhill, she walks the same trail and returns to her

starting point in 1 hour. What was her average rate of speed, in miles per hour, for the entire trip?

Answer:

3.33 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The total distance traveled by the hiker is 5 * 2 = 10 miles, and the total time travelled is 2 + 1 = 3 hours.

So, to find the average speed of the entire trip, we can use the formula:

distance = speed * time

With distance = 10 and time = 3, we have:

10 = speed * 3

speed = 10/3 = 3.33 miles per hour.

Rectangle
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

  21 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of the rectangle are aligned with the coordinate grid, so we can easily find its dimensions.

AB lies on the line y = -2, so the horizontal extent is the difference in x-values:

  6 - 3 = 3

BC lies on the line x = 6, so the vertical extent is the difference in y-values:

  5 -(-2) = 7

The area is the product of these two dimensions:

  A = LW = (7)(3) = 21 . . . . square units

The area of the rectangle is 21 square units.

Find the value of x at which the function has a possible relative maximum or minimum point.​ (Recall that e Superscript x is pos
shutvik [7]

Answer:

x= -11/4 is a maximum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that a function has its critical points where the derivative equal zero. Therefore we need to compute the derivative of this function and find the points where the derivative is zero. Using the chain rule and the product rule we get that

f'(x)=  -e^{-4x}(11+4x)

And then we get that   if   11+4x = 0   then   x = -11/4 . So it has a critical point at   x = -11/4.

Now, if the second derivative evaluated at that point is less than 0 then the point is a maximum and if is greater than zero the point is a minimum.

Since

f''(x) = 8e^{-4x} (5+2x)\\f''(-11/4) = -239496.56

x= -11/4 is a maximum.

As an estimation we are told 5 miles is 8 km. <br> Convert 32.5 miles to km.
elixir [45]

Answer:

52 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, 5 miles is 8km.

So, 1 mile will be (8/5) km.

Now, 32.5 miles will be (8/5) x 32.5 = 52 km

Why is 1/2 not useful as a benchmark to compare 5/8 and 9/10?
pentagon [3]
1/2 would not be a useful benchmark to compare these 2 fractions because both of them are greater than half. The benchmark fraction 1/2 is most useful when one fraction is less than half and the other more than 1/2. 5/8 is more than 4/8(1/2), and 9/10 is more than 5/10(1/2).
